Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment You must have a really crappy computer because I am running Vista in a 3800 X2 with a gig of ddr 400 and Vista runs great. I was even happy that I could run Command and Conquer 3 on ultimate settings since I heard that there is a slight framerate...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I keep seeing this notion that Vista must be defended simply because everyone keeps saying it's slow when in reality.it's slow. Plus, whine and moan all you want about speeding up Vista, it still provides a terrible way to control your operating...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment There is a clear story emerging here of people seem to be - as I was - genuinely surprised by their relative experiences running Vista and a Linux distribution. To El Jefe: You're right, mistyping MB for GB is inexcusable, and shows the perils of...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Gibbon every time Vista is extremely slow, even on computers apparently designed for it. When I've tried it on computers not designed for Vista it seems to spend its time telling me how bad my hardware is.

Blog Comment I stopped reading when you mixed up MB and GB. Really, are you actually employed by ZDNet? Amazing.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I have had the same experience as I posted on my blog (http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/eai/madgreek/archives/dumping-vista-a-divorce-with-a-happy-ending-19844). I admit that my brand new Dell laptop might not be good enough for Vista, but that is my point.

Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog Comment Fired it up & installed Ubuntu 7.10. Time for some fun with Ubuntu I think. Downloaded VirtualBox, and installed it on XP Pro. Not a single hiccup in the whole process. I do have 3 gig of RAM, but everything runs sweetly on an otherwise mundane...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Hey, I'm not sore about the hardware, I actually find a lot to like in WIndows XP, I'm not holding my breath for Leopard, and I did remove enough bloatware to keep a liposuctionist busy for a week. I did install a couple of games and they worked a...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment "Why is Vista so slow" I would see if there is any way the manufacturer could give you the OEM install disk for Vista (not those recovery disks that basically reformat and re-image the drive, that just will re-install the junk that came with it...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment So with Vista Microsoft took a much larger effort towards system access and security. Ya know, all of these "I'm switching to Linux" articles are find and dandy but you have to take into a consideration of a number of things.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Oh, and I am sick enough of OSX and the way it is going nowhere very slowly, sick of the insular fanatical users, that I am currently switching back to XP and/or Ubuntu. Do not hold your breath for Leopard.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment In reply to the few above that talk of only being able to play games on Windows. Sure, you won't be able to find many popular games out there being supported by game designers, but the ones you do find are GEMS.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment For years I have been skulking around in the shadows - getting Unix-type tools like Cygwin and Perl running on Windows, running copies of Solaris/x86 under VMware and setting up wacky third-party tools so that Windows servers can run batch jobs...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Like you Rupert, I find myself in a mixed environment of various version of Windows (mainly XPs) and Linux (mainly RHELs and Ubuntus). While I agree on your take on Ubuntus ease of use, I have one major issue with it (on my Dell D420 laptop):

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment A few I recommend are: planet.ubuntu.com, planet.gnome.org, planetkde.org (for those who use KDE or Kubuntu). The thing I love the most about Linux distributions is the fact that pretty much all the software is free and open, and lots of it was...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment My biggest problem going all in to Linux is that I use a windows mobile smartphone for everything. It syncs to Outlook. I also have Itunes that sync to my IPOD. Are there good alternatives that do the same that are Linux platform?

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I spent a while "porting" this thing to Linux, and now the whole team is happy using Ubuntu/Debian/[insert your favorite distro here] instead of Windows. I used to work in a corporation where I was initially given a Windows 2000 PC.
