Yesterday I installed ubuntu linux on my laptop that I use for work. I was a bit nervous before the install because I didn’t want to destroy the windows part of the disk. But after a while everything worked out nicely. It was pretty easy to install.
After I installed ubuntu I fired up evolution for checking the mail. At work I live in a totally windows enviroment so we have the mail on exchange server of course, but after Novell bought ximian (the makers of evolution) they have released the exchange plugin for free. So after some error messages I got it working. I’m not sure what was wrong, but it’s working now 
My second problem was getting the citrix client working. I installed one, but it wouldn’t work. So after a while I went to bed, I didn’t have time to test stuff at work today. But when I got home I had some time too test out different stuff. First I installed java and tested the java client and it worked almost without any problems. After reading on some forums I got the linux client working also. The trick was to disable sound in the client. That is fine because we have disabled sound on the server side also. So I have almost every program I need too run linux on my workstation at work.
