Today I learned that trying to configure Linux to your preferences can make it not work. At all.

Plus I haven't really learned how to do backups in a modern Linux (last time I did backups on a Unix style operating system other than Macos was in the early 1990s using tape ...)

### On the plus side I now have Ubuntu 7.10 running on my DIY computer build!

It boots off a 500gb SSD, with a 1TB spinny HD as data drive (I have half a tb of Dropbox files alone).

### Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Software 

Only things missing from my mac are screenflow, Apple apps such as Keynote (browser apps are not as good), and iMessage.

Not bad!

### Programming Python on Ubuntu

It is very nice using the same OS as my development server.

For IDE I am using PyCharm Professional. It has built-in Github and SFTP, as well as the usual auto-complete and color formatting, and such.

### Next Steps

This machine was originally intended as a Hackintosh, and might still go that way, but I am going to attempt to run VirtualBox first .... wish me luck!
