I am going to convert to a mac too. But... Mac will be replacing Windows not Ubuntu :P That is if I am able to dual boot in a mac book pro, the procedure in the forums was pretty elaborate. But I think I read somewhere that they are working on easier Ubuntu installations on Mac at the Google summer of Code. > These developments made one thing clear - I am not going to be a complete > one-OS convert , not at least in near future.

But actually Ubuntu keeps up the thrill with its six month release cycles and all the new features added weekly. I follow 3 main ubuntu blogs and am surprised and excited about all the amazing features and news which keep on coming. There are applications I never heard of and which should have been heard of. Its a fun world of Ubuntu! > Cheers!! -- Ashutosh Rishi Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
