The move to Ubuntu

After running into a few problems during the first 13 chapters of Beginning Ruby that I thought were exacerbated by using Windows I have made the move to Ubuntu. First I was thinking that I would get a new desktop/laptop that would be a dedicated Linux machine but hesitated on making an monetary investment in something (programming) that I was just getting into. Thanks to a tip from @vpz I am now running Ubuntu inside VirtualBox on my laptop.

The setup was pretty straightforward. The only problem I have right now is not being able to adjust the size and resolution of the Ubuntu desktop. I have tried a couple of tips but haven’t cracked that but yet. I will though. I thought I was a good problem solver before. Programming is going to only make me better.
