Installed Ubuntu and loving it!

Installed 64-bit Ubuntu on my z61p - it “just works”! The best part of it was the live cd, which allowed to me to preview it on the laptop without installing it. Worked flawlessly! Impressive! Time to install. On the Desktop of  your “live” session, there is an Install link. Double-click and you’re on your way! Wooooo!! It takes the settings from your live session and configures them on your actual installation - perfect! Now, to make this my primary workstation, the only thing I would need is to be able to VPN into work. There is no 64-bit Cisco IPSec VPN Client! Alas! A quick search through the Synaptics Package Manager for “vpn”, I found vpnc. Worked like a charm! Ubuntu far exceeded my expectations. I… LOVE… IT!
