Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Ubuntu generally works just fine on my Santa Rosa laptop. Funnily enough my colleague Rupert Goodwins documented his - very similar - experiences and thoughts on Vista and Ubuntu late last night, just hours after I posted mine.

I Will Blog, Despite Vista's Best Efforts
Blog Until Microsoft truly gets that, I'll be sticking Ubuntu - or XP as a backup if I really need to run Windows. I could easily reboot into Ubuntu, and in fact was abot to so so, but something occurred to me.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment There is probably one other thing, after vista has booted a few times it tries to get itself sorted, whenever you aren't using the cpu or ram you aren't using, its usually looking at it self, seeing what it can do to speed up, in fact after a...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Before you do that (Automatix has been known to cause serious stability issues that people then go on to blame on Ubuntu), try one of the new features in Gutsy:" Ubuntu isn't perfect - in some areas, it's still lagging behind XP.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Then how come I'm so much more at home with Ubuntu than Vista? Of those seven, three run XP, one runs Ubuntu 6.06, two are now on Ubuntu 7.10, and one is Vista. Having used Ubuntu for the best part of a year, I'm a fan.

Open Office To The Rescue
Blog I gave them the Lifebook S2110, running Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org, and they worked perfectly happily on it all evening. Because I don't work with Windows much any more, the last time I loaded Vista on this laptop I didn't bother loading most of the...

Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog So I decided to put Ubuntu on the Vista dual-core Centrino laptop. Of course, I can't just put a Windows OS on my Ubuntu machinery - don't have an unused Genuine Windows Advantage XP or Vista, and to reuse anything would be against the licence.

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions
Blog I do, however, think that these latest versions of either openSUSE or Ubuntu would be excellent alternatives for most ordinary PC users, including laptop users, and that is a huge step forward for Linux in my experience.

Looking Forward To Trying Fiesty Out!
Talkback I recently bought a new laptop, and have been using Ubuntu on it since day one, with great success. I've recently been sent the free Windows Vista upgrade disk. I can do everything I want, and just run windows under VM Ware to sync my PDA.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Startup time of Vista, fresh start or from "Hibernation" is VERY fast (way faster than any (regular) Linux distribution, and I always know the latest Ubuntu and OpenSuSE releases). The first thing I did of course was turn almost all visual effects...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog A healthier attitude would be to ignore it, and an even healthier one would be to move on to other software — having used Ubuntu for a month or so on a spare laptop, I'm going to make my main machine dual boot with the eventual aim of relegating...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog Ubuntu's new shininess comes at a good time. It involves making a selection of live CDs - Puppy Linux is impressive in its simplicity and flexibility, while Ubuntu seems to "just work" - and giving them to my punters.

A Challenge To All Linux Users In The World
Blog Comment Take Ubuntu Studio out for a spin, then sit down and calculate what it would take - and go ahead, plot availability and functionality - of duplicating that warehouse of wank-o-rific wonder in Windows.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I use Ubuntu at home to run a mail server, a webserver, SQL server, file server and printer server, and on a laptop, in fact I'm using it now and I think it's fantastic, I will never pay for a copy of Windows for home use again.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I recently bought a beautiful new Dell laptop - the XPS M1330 with all the bells and whistles - running Vista (XP was not offered as an option). I had to travel to China with my new laptop and couldn't get online at all - though my old Dell laptop...

Windows Vista - Here I Go Again!
Blog Comment It comes to something when my wee Eee running a much-hacked-about Ubuntu consistently beats an expensivo Sony with Vista. Ah, now, I just tried to run Skype on my VIsta laptop and it didn't want to know about the webcam.
