Blog Comment It can be annoying to uninstall stuff from Ubuntu. I have to agree - I've been really enjoying Ubuntu since i moved over. I loaded a few K-desktop programs in, and other vaguely related stuff was loaded at the same time, and is a pain to uninstall.

Admission And Lesson - Don't Overcomplicate Linux!
Blog Comment I put Ubuntu on an old Thinkpad T22, but the wireless didn't work - and the screen didn't display. There was stuff on the web, but either it didn't work or I couldn't understand how to use it. I always hope things will "just work", and I get lost...

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

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions

Still Don't See The Point ...
Talkback My recent experience with a IBM/Lenovo T60 has shown me that Ubuntu is more broken than Debian. If its eye-candy you want go and download some stuff from kde-look.org or art.gnome.org. The beta of Feisty I ran the other day does look to be an...
