I am now on Linux.
This will be my first blog entry I will be writing on Linux. I have just installed Linux Mint, a Ubuntu (Linux distribution) derivative. I’m liking it – especially the desktop effects.

I do have Broadcom BCM4312 – which did not work with the native generic driver provided by the distribution. The “Windows Wireless Drivers” did not work for me so I had to search for other solutions. I ended up tired of it and so I sought the help of some UnPLUGgers.
I’ll be posting screenshots of my wonderful Linux on Laptop soon so keep updated.
