Jeromy, congrats on your transition...Manuel said...<br />Jeromy, congrats on your transition to Ubuntu, and thanks for sharing all your experience with us and also for sharing all the steps that you have done during your transition from Windows, Word and all that stuff up to linux, latex, git, etc.<br />I made the same change a couple of years required in part by my work, but my sequence was somewhat different. First go to linux (ubuntu) by the need to compile programs in fortram (my background is basically quantitative genetics) and then, I started using R (leaving SAS), then latex and finally the CVS.<br />So, welcome to Linux and enjoy this new "step" ;)<br />May 24, 2011 2:45 AM<br /> Anonymous said...<br />So, someone handed you a disk and told you lies hrrm?<br />Look deeper.<br />May 24, 2011 7:27 PM<br /> Jeromy Anglim said...<br />@Manuel: Thanks for the comment. <br /><br />@Anonymous: Would you like to elaborate?<br />May 24, 2011 7:33 PM<br /> Anonymous said...<br />On the email thing- ditch Evolution; try Thunderbird.<br />May 25, 2011 12:12 AM<br /> Jeromy Anglim said...<br />@Anonymous I'd like to switch away from Evolution, but my university uses Exchange and doesn't support IMAP. As far as I am aware, Thunderbird doesn't work with owa or MAPI Exchange. The only promising lead that I've heard but not yet tried is DavMail.<br />May 25, 2011 12:24 AM<br /> neolefty said...<br />Great post -- thanks for listing all the specific ways that you found solutions. They may not all be relevant to me, but they are reminders that specific solutions exist (and that I can ask for help to find them).<br />May 25, 2011 4:06 PM<br /> Jeromy Anglim said...<br />@Anonymous small update: I've got Thunderbird (and lightning) connecting to Exchange now through DavMail. And it's so much better than Evolution.<br />May 25, 2011 7:07 PMBoris Denisovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272044331662871382noreply@blogger.com
