At the moment I am configuring an old desktop, to become my open source system. Ubunty 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is already installed. So far, I like it. I am used to working with several versions of Windows, it takes only little time to get familiar with the interface. One very interesting thing is the way to install new software. It can be done through the Synaptic Package Manager, a whole library, or you can offcourse find downloads on the www. Right now I am installing MySQL, and I simply took the installation command from the website ( sudo apt-get install mysql-server), and I don’t have to bother about choosing a mirror or location, everything is arranged for me. So, after this, I will install a choice of BI Tools on this machine, and will be building BI solutions.
