I tried ubuntu (not sure which distro sorry) the other day, my son installed it for me on my laptop, I really loved it!

Only problem is that I can't use photoshop (easily anyway) and as such I had to get him to uninstall it, I am thinking I might get another machine and just have a dedicated windoze machine for photoshop and use ubuntu for my regular comp.

I know Ubuntu's servers have been getting hit hard today (can be expected). On Twitter they said they were down for a bit. So if anyone is just looking for the simple torrent link, I've uploaded it to our CDN

Duplicated the setup on two small VPS's... that way I can compare some setting changes side by side.

And totally off-topic
I'm setting up a Gentoo system... jeez Louise, this IS 2014 now. I thought I got away from this crud when I left Slackware a LOOOONNNGGG time ago. Of course, doing the minimal install as a server but still. Everything seems (so far) to have be be end user compiled.

erm.. no lol

Gimp might be fine for what you do, but it isn't for me thanks, plus I need other items from the Adobe CS.

I am going to get my son to build me a new machine just for graphics etc, and turn my lappy into a linux machine instead.

Good idea I don't use windows any more. laptops, servers, they're all linux.
