I’m now on Linux

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.

One of the problems, probably the biggest, I had while configuring my laptop for Linux is my wireless network adapter driver. 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. :D

I’ll be posting screenshots of my wonderful Linux on Laptop soon so keep updated.
