Triple Boot Ubuntu/Vista/XP - No Go So Far
Blog Ubuntu (Grub) correctly saw that there were two bootable Windows partitions on the disk, and both Vista and Ubuntu booted correctly, but when I tried to boot the XP partition, it actually started to boot Vista but then complained that the boot...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I did however get the games that were not running correctly under Vista to work fine under the WINE Windows Emulator included with Ubuntu! 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 So, since I have been playing around with linux distros for a while but never really got the feeling that they would convince me to switch and never look back, I took my laptop to the test and installed ubuntu 7.04 (feisty fawn).

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog The Citrix Presentation Server Client is definitely much more stable on Ubuntu than it is on Windows. If all of that works, I'll keep Ubuntu on that one, and swap the S2110 back to the Windows XP Pro disk.jw 3/6/2008

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog Ubuntu is famed for its addiction to sudo, which is its attempt to get around the privileges paradox. There is one product that's worse than XP — and it's not Ubuntu, which does have its faults. That's one of the reasons that Windows has been such...

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 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.

Ubuntu On Fujitsu Lifebook S6510
Blog If that works, I could even consider setting up the S6510 with three partitions, for Ubuntu, XP and Vista, so that I can go back and try Vista again from time to time, to see if the latest updates have improved that situation.

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 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...

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions
Blog As I told my brother (who is still using XP, and has sworn not to touch Vista until Hell freezes over), in many cases the average user who is accustomed to Windows XP would have no more trouble changing to Linux (openSUSE or Ubuntu) than they...

Can Linux Replace Windows - Maybe!
Blog In fact as I said to my brother yesterday evening, a typical Windows XP user could probably switch to Ubuntu or Mandriva Linux more easily today than they can switch to Vista. I loaded Ubuntu Linux on my test laptop a couple of weeks ago more or...

Maybe Vista Really Is Getting Better
Blog Performance is still not as good as Ubuntu or Mandriva on the same laptop, but even that still seems better than before. I am still primarily using Linux, and only run Windows during my morning and evening commute, but I will at least continue to...

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.

PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome On New Laptop.
