Do you ubuntu?

[j4]

I've been watching (mostly via her twitterings on the subject) the saga of famous librarian Jessamyn installing Ubuntu on a library computer; it's a heartwarming tale, but it's made a kind of bittersweet parallel to my own tale of woe as I've completely failed to get anything other than OS 9 installed on my old G3 Mac, due to its apparent inability to boot from anything other than its own 60GB-of-pure-stubborness hard drive. (It's a long, frustrating and not terribly interesting story.) Today, even the Motley Fool is raving about Ubuntu. I feel as though someone's laughing at me.

Ooh, I'm installing ubuntu on my desktop at the mo! (Already have gentoo courtesy of Duncan but I'd rather have something I can hope to learn to manage myself). And I just gave it to a relative on a recycled computer!

I feel all relevant and um, what was the word? Zeitgeist
