Over the last few days, I have noticed a few other bloggers from the Lotus blogging community mentioning Ubuntu.
Ferdy Christant has published a good article on his recent move to ubuntu on his new laptop.
Stuart McIntyre has a post on his attempt at getting the Notes 8 Beta running on ubuntu.
I look forward to following them both, I hope they are having as much fun as I am!
Are there any others out there?
Simon, not sure if you have seen this already, but Alan Bell may have a workaround for the Notes 8 install problem on Ubuntu…

“Finally a tip for those wanting to run the Notes 8 Beta 2 on Ubuntu or other Linux distributions, it is set up and supported on SLES 10 only, but the main dependency seems to be that /bin/sh should point to bash rather than dash. To get the install to run correctly type in the following:
cd /bin
ls -l sh
this should show sh -> dash
sudo rm sh
sudo ln -s bash sh
ls -l sh
this should now show sh -> bash”
Hope this helps… Stuart
