Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Thanks for waking me up :) Wow you are correct! I swear MS Exchange Server wasn't working up until recently. Admittedly, I'm still running 7.04, i don't think the Exchange server worked until i updated (i guess i should keep on those updates huh?

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment My hardware purchase left me with an extra hard drive, so I decided to install the beta version of Ubuntu's Gutsy Gibbon on the second one. Ubuntu also runs faster, looks nicer than the new Vista Aero desktop, and uses FAR fewer resources.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I am upgrading to 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon while I type (yes windows users, a whole new operating system installing WHILE I type! So, since I have been playing around with linux distros for a while but never really got the feeling that they would convince...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog No more, for two reasons: Vista, and Ubuntu 7.10 (ala Gutsy Gibbon). Ubuntu is fast, and is like a fresh breeze blowing through after my weeks of gazing at Vista, waiting for something to happen. Funnily enough my colleague Rupert Goodwins...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I wouldn't go near Vista but I do have a RHEL server in the basement that never needs touching from one month to the next - a quick VNC or ssh occasionally is all it takes -- and I've got Ubuntu in a VM on my desktop, and in a second partition on...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Well, in the true Linux spirit of being helpful to other Linux users, I would recommend that you install Automatix as soon as you have finished installing your (K)ubuntu distro. Finally, when all this Vista stuff is said and done, (and many...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Gibbon every time Vista is extremely slow, even on computers apparently designed for it. I've just realised that in my bitter rant about being stuck with Windows at work I haven't said what I think about 2Vista versus The Gutsy Gibbon"

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

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I have to agree - I've been really enjoying Ubuntu since i moved over. It can be annoying to uninstall stuff from Ubuntu. It's a bit slower than XP (noticeably, but not irritatingly) at times, but given that my machine won't touch Vista, but is...

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 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). I'm running Linux (OpenSuSE 10.3 in my case) in a VMware virtual...
