One Month into Ubuntu 10.04

I've been using Ubuntu for a whole month now at least. I can do 90% of the things I did on Windows XP. I still need to get a web camera that supports Ubuntu. I downloaded Skype, GIMP, Google Chrome, Brasero Disc Burner, Pidgin. I spend most the time browsing the web now but I recently got back on track with my C++ coding hobby. I'll have to write a post on how to create a program in C++ without an Integrated Development Environment (only using the terminal and a text editor). Using the terminal more often is a significant difference from Windows XP. I never used the terminal (also known as console or even 'DOS box') in Windows but on Ubuntu, and maybe even most Linux systems, using the terminal for installing software is very common.
