The story of my transition to Ubuntu Linux
22.02.2010
When i first installed Ubuntu 8.10 without any Windows safety net to back me up i had a few problems:
- GSM USB modem drivers
- i couldn’t see any WPA encrypted wireless networks
- there was no wireless network detection tool so i couldn’t understand how to “scan for wireless networks” (as the windows equivalent would have sounded)
- open office vs. ms office (open office 2.6 could not open “docx” files) discrepancies
- gimp vs. photoshop discrepancies
At the moment i was not in that point where i would allow myself to understand that the same problem can be successfully approached from many angles, i was expecting that if a problem had a solution (be it present on my computer or not yet installed) it would have the same approach as it’s windows counterpart.

Nimic deosebit, probabil ca am vazut si chestiuni mai rele, doar ca la un moment dat ti se umple paharul.
Omul normal indignat isi va spune: “Selectia naturala ne va scapa intr-un tarziu de acel neg al societatii”.
Crud este ca cel mai probabil nu va pleca singur catre luma ailalta, va lua cel putin pasagerii lui daca nu mai mult.
Here’s the recipy, follow the first 4 steps if you don’t know JavaScript. If you do, you should read on to the finish, it may save you some grief later.
1st. download these two files and save them in the same folder as your index.html:
* http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.2.6.min.js
* http://design-forge.ro/downloads/transBG.jquery.plugin.js
2nd. write these lines into the <head> of your website
* <script type=”text/JavaScript” src=”jquery-1.2.6.min.js”></script>
* <script type=”text/JavaScript” src=”transBG.jquery.plugin.js”></script>
