Here at Tom-buntu you will find Ubuntu and Linux news, tips, software reviews, and tutorials. I try to post something new every day.

My name is Tom, and I started using Linux 3 years ago. (I am no expert.) I started with just trying out live CDs until I installed Ubuntu to dual boot with Windows XP. At first, my Ubuntu installation went unused. At some point I started using Ubuntu for my browsing and I booted Windows less and less. Then I wiped the whole disk to repartition so there was more Ubuntu space. Since then I have used Ubuntu almost exclusively.

Now I run a Linux web server and am trying learn as much as I can about Linux. I am even starting to forget how to find things in Windows now, but Windows Vista renamed and moved everything anyways.

Feel free to leave comments on my posts, but they will not appear until I approve them. You can email me at the address below if you have a suggestion or think I should write about something for the blog.

A bit of newbie myself, followed your column and installed xbindkeys - neat. Rebooted and the short-cuts didn’t work as the utility wasn’t started. Checked the net for howto’s and added xbindkeys to the services start-up list. Thought you might want to add this idea for other newbies.

Hey Tom,
Just curious - do you host this yourself, or do you host it via wordpress.com?

Regards,
M.

Hey Tom great site. I have been a Linux user on and off since 2000. I used to wipe out my installation on my older computer every other month tying to find one that worked well with my hardware. Then came Ubuntu and I tried it out in 2005 (I think it was the third release 5.10) and since then have been avid user. I had Ubuntu loaded fully and used it as a server (web, MySQL database) and also as a programming machine. Then I got my laptop 2 years ago where I whipped out Win XP Home and but Ubuntu on it fully and now I can say I am Windows free as my new and old desktop and my laptop all run Ubuntu. Thanks and keep up the excellent work.
