I have said in other threads that I have only just recently installed Ubuntu in my son's laptop, and most recently in one of the comps for my mod DoubleTrouble but the only real things I have done with it are to play mahjong and surf the net using firefox. I admit it REALLY helped my son's laptop boot up faster ( 1 minute vs 12 with XP) and I Know that Linux is a very powerful language, I just don't know how to take advantage of it.
Eventually I want to create my own 3-d desktop using some form of linux but as before I don't have the foggiest idea where to start. Any pointers?
