I'm still trying to switch to Linux. Tired of Windows. And still waiting until the end of the year when the iPad Mini gets released.
Took a computer science course my freshman year of college where we learned Linux. I didnt particularly like it back then (wasnt as user-friendly/too techy at the time) as I was used to Windows and didnt care about using another OS. But I remember Linux did have its benefits over other operating systems.
Now I am more interested in "techy" stuff like Linux, jailbreaking/rooting operating systems to install custom Roms as I recently installed Cyanogenmod 9 Ice Cream Sandwich for my HP Touchpad. I watched a video on youtube of a guy who showed step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
