Far exceeded my expectations!!!

Ubuntu's latest release (Dapper Drake) has a much smaller memory footprint than Windows and Mac OS, therefore freeing up system resources for other apps. I can run Matlab, Mathematica, Divx/Xvid/AC3 movies, etc. Furthermore, Open Office, which comes bundled with Ubuntu, is perfectly compatible with MS Office and has the added ability to make PDF files. Basically, I can do everything I could with XP, but without XP hogging system resources. An OS should be stable, secure, versatile and efficient...

I'm not so sure about this version of Ubuntu

I bought the DVD, put it in my DVD drive and booted from it only to discover that the installation attempt failed several times.I found that I had to install via the OEM mode in order to get the installation working.Once I finally did get the installation to begin working, I found that in order to partition my drives (I have 2 of them) I had to know what size a partition was going to be before I knew what directory I was going to allocate to it (sort of how you have to do it with FreeBSD).At the...

Linux for Everybody!

If you are interested in an alternative operating system you should try Ubuntu.I was sick and tired of my Windows XP hanging and crashing and the need of having a firewall and a virus scanner for it, so I tried Ubuntu and I was stunned.The core system is actually less than 500 MB big and can be started from the CD (or DVD). This way you can explore the system without installing it. I am using a Thinkpad Z60 and when I started from the Live CD I could use ALL features right away. Ubuntu is fully...

Getting More Than You Pay For

I've been doing Linux since the middle 80s and have used some of the biggest names in the business. Ubuntu may not have the most versatile installation (e.g., options from the installation interface) but it is easily one of the more stable and easy to use packages I've come across. I have it installed on two PCs and a Mac G4. It runs equally well on both platforms and is easy to update and patch when the need arrises....
