After some time of being sick, this day has officially killed my desktop an HP 4443, a fact that I’m not surprised, because the computer had about ten years (too long for a Computer) died the following characteristics: AMD K-6 II 333Mhz, 256MB of RAM and with Debian Etch and Xubuntu 7.10.
So to be my main tool of work (at home) have stalled with the personal projects
but anyway I’m in a campaign to acquire new equipment and thus further delay and not much projects.
Best Regards!!
As I had mentioned earlier on of my goals is to be an active developer and from this day began my journey to become, on of the points that should be improved in order to achieve my goal is to reinforce the knowledge that I have the C language and approach to Linux.
A book I found that I’m currently reading is Foundations of GTK + Development, from what I have read so far it seems to me a book very complete and very easy to understand, without any doubt is what I need
Anyway for me is a good start
This day I have decided to make a total migration to Linux, specifically Xubuntu, Today I’ve been using but retained a partition with Windows XP, because it occasionally used to program applications using Visual Studio and Visual Fox.
So, what has driven me to break away from Windows? To be honest it was a step that I always wanted, but never dared me because I felt that was not ready.
Am I ready now? The truth… No
However, the continued collapse of Windows (blue screen) have made me take this big leap.
As I mentioned earlier I already have about a year-to-use Linux (Debian and Xubuntu) but only at the occasional user and not as the primary operating system. One of my goals is to actively contribute to the future development of Xubuntu maintaining a package, but before that I must reinforce the little knowledge I have in the languages C/C++, Perl, Python …
I hope to publish progress
Cheers!!!
