I’ve successfully replaced almost every application I had in windows with alternative one available in Linux. There is only one application I don’t have suitable replacement for: SyncBack.
I needed some exercise in Python, high level scripting language, so I decided my first project will be PySync: the simple synchronizer written in Python. Although I’m writing it to solve my own problem I’ll try to make it usable for others.

For more then ten years i was perfectly happy with Windows as my only operating system. I like when things improve and Windows was improved in each version. Hardware compatibility, overall stability, security, user interface: they all changed for better in each version of windows.
In case MS don’t succeed in making Vista a great OS i want to have another choice. Some time ago I tried some Linux distributions on virtual machine and now I installed Ubuntu 7.10 as dual boot to XP. Now I have greatest dual boot system I ever had.

I was thinking for some time about writing about operating systems i used. Today I saw the article by Shamus at Twenty Sided which urged me to finish it.

DOS 6.22
At the time i was using DOS computer was just gaming machine for me. I squeezed the last megahertz from my 386 to accommodate more and more demanding games. I liked the way DOS wasn’t getting in my way: >cd games >cd war2 >war2 weehee.
