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.

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 What I found so frustrating was the experience of just trying to get stuff done, and that was down to both the sluggish speed of the UI and to the clever way that common jobs have been moved for no other reason than to make things look different.

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 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) and just format and...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment It is not necessary to make up BS about Vista just to make Ubuntu look good. Ubuntu has real merits. Overall, the system is a pleasure to use, and this takes absolutely NOTHING away from the goodness of Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment It is my opinion that Ubuntu is a fairly mangled linux distro, with a number of show stopping bugs that shouldn't have made it out the door. Do your shoes run on Ubuntu 7.10? Wow, Vista runs better for you than the author, and you "only" need twice...

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).

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 There is probably one other thing, after vista has booted a few times it tries to get itself sorted, whenever you aren't using the cpu or ram you aren't using, its usually looking at it self, seeing what it can do to speed up, in fact after a...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I tried Ubuntu 7.04 and it was like a rocket. I am now using Ubuntu 7.10 and will never go back to any Windows. For the record, Ubuntu detected everything on my laptop and my scanner and digital camera and webcam all run fine too without any...

New Directions - Ubuntu
Blog Since I always do this sort of thing by swapping disks, and I have a disk for that laptop which I had previously loaded with Vista Home Premium (and given up on, even before I got the S6510), I could reclaim that disk for Ubuntu and my XP Pro disk...

Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog Of course, I can't just put a Windows OS on my Ubuntu machinery - don't have an unused Genuine Windows Advantage XP or Vista, and to reuse anything would be against the licence. I've been meaning to try VirtualBox, the free x86 virtualisation...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Funnily enough my colleague Rupert Goodwins documented his - very similar - experiences and thoughts on Vista and Ubuntu late last night, just hours after I posted mine. No more, for two reasons: Vista, and Ubuntu 7.10 (ala Gutsy Gibbon).

Triple Boot Ubuntu/Vista/XP - No Go So Far
Blog Comment On the other hand, my experience has been the same as yours, in that I am perfectly happy with Ubuntu/XP dual boot, I only wanted to add the Vista boot for the "gee whiz" factor, and so that I would have Vista available if/when I wanted to test...

Triple Boot Ubuntu/Vista/XP - No Go So Far
Blog Comment It may be also possible to install the OS's in a different order and then recover the Vista boot loader, for instance, using a late Vista Beta installation disk or a borrowed retail or OEM Vista installation disk, this I have also done in order to...

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog As I continue to test and work with Ubuntu, I have come across a few more very pleasant surprises: With Ubuntu, I was very skeptical when I loaded it, I honestly expected to have it running for a day or so, just to see what worked and what didn't.

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.

Triple Boot Ubuntu/Vista/XP - No Go So Far
Blog One of the more amusing permutations was when I first installed Vista, then copied XP into the next partition, and finally installed Ubuntu into the third partition. Ubuntu (Grub) correctly saw that there were two bootable Windows partitions on the...
