I started using Ubuntu in August 2009 with a Jaunty (9.04) install on a [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspironE1505]].  My daughter got her Windows NT laptop infected with a very persistent trojan and that was the spark to put me on a mission to find a viable replacement Linux OS so I never had to disinfect a Windows system again.
