Ubuntu – Day 11

We are continuing to have problems with sending the newsletter out since our web host changed what they allow us to do. Rest assured we are working diligently to find a good solution for everyone. Remember that in the interim, we post the newsletter here on the site and you can read or print it from here. Please accept our apologies while we work on this problem.

I’m using the Ubuntu version of OpenOffice to work with our newsletter database to clean it up and find a new better solution for the newsletter. The spreadsheet in OpenOffice works great, but the database is pretty pokey compared to Windows based databases like File Maker Pro and Access.

Although I have just three days left with my Ubuntu test, I plan to continue using this Ubuntu laptop as my primary laptop, but will go back to my Windows desktop computer for most of my work since I need to continue to learn about Windows Vista to help troubleshoot it and teach it to my customers.
