Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment You are absolutely right about how easy it is to file and print share, and Evolution works perfectly with our exchange server. The problem I would have here is that the majority, guess 80%, of our PCs have some sort of specialist software, so we'd...

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Ah, Ogg. The trouble with Ogg is that it's not MP3. Hasn't got a critical mass of support: technically, it's fine, but if you're going to be listening to digital music online you can't do it by Ogg alone.

Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10

Ubuntu 7.10 Gibbon swings on the Asus Eee
Blog Comment You can move the Ubuntu menus and task bars to any side of the screen - just click and drag. One of my long-term projects is to dedicate a big fat machine to multiple Linuxes on multiple partitions (or perhaps virtualbox - haven't decided yet).
