OK.  So I’ve given up for the moment doing anything fancy with connecting to the Exchange server.  I tend to receive email on my PDA anyway, more so than on the PC, and OWA is sort of functional on Firefox.

So far, I’ve been using this PC more than I have been for a while (ie, when I had Windows on it!).  It’s been an interesting experience, as I’ve gone from having used Windows for longer than I care to remember and knowing it pretty much inside out, to now having to "think" about how I do even the most basic stuff (ie. installing software etc).

I’m a GUI junkie at heart, so I haven’t been getting into the terminal much, but that suits me for the moment.  

Today I’ve setup Azureus, and I’m starting to d/l a couple of TV shows ad stuff.  I’d recently moved from uTorrent to Azureus, which was fortuitous since I don’t think uTorrent seems to be available for *nix.

On the topic of installing software, I must say it’s a bit of a trip how software gets installed on Ubuntu, and I’ve got to say I like it!  I’ve been using Synaptic Package Manager (the GUI again!), and it’s odd to be able to go in and search for software, and then get a menu of piles of different stuff back.   

 In other news, I had a test ride of a new Triumph Sprint ST today.  I wanted one before I rode it, now I REALLY want one.  Will have to figure out how to increase my disposable income massively - I don’t need both these kidneys do I?
