  Ditch Windows, Get Ubuntu: the Experiment! 

  

  Like many I’m also fed up with Microsoft software in general and Windows in particular. But like many I too am too lazy to make THE CHANGE to another BETTER OS.
  Until now!

  Why make the switch?

  The last couple of years I’m preferring Open Source alternatives for almost every software. And it’s a true eye opener. And today I’ve made the bold move to do this with my OS also!
  Yesterday my 6 year old Windows XP desktop (almost) stopped working: it’s so slow now, that it takes tens of minutes to start any application.
  Thus a great opportunity to try out Ubuntu 9.04.

  Vista update crashes localhost 

  
  For the development of any website I’m using Wampserver as my local server and it has always been working just great. Until today: it stopped working, just like that!

  I should have known better than giving Windows the benefit of the doubt! I thought WAMP/WampServer screwed things up: suddenly I couldn’t connect to http://localhost anymore. Nor to phpMyAdmin, nor to MySQL.
  And because I could connect to the internet, I figured it was my local server…and not a Windows Vista related issue.
