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). The first thing I did of course was turn almost all visual effects...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment But the clear fact is that a tablet enabled laptop running Vista is far more flexible and natural to use than even an Apple laptop. Strangely, no one has pointed out that there is one important UI area where Vista is far and away more advanced and...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I admit that my brand new Dell laptop might not be good enough for Vista, but that is my point. On Vista, nobody in my house will touch the laptop. On XP, this laptop would scream. I have had the same experience as I posted on my blog (http://blogs...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment While I agree on your take on Ubuntus ease of use, I have one major issue with it (on my Dell D420 laptop): I often close my laptop (or tells it to sleep explicitly), only to find it in a non-responsive state when I open it up again.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I use Ubuntu at home to run a mail server, a webserver, SQL server, file server and printer server, and on a laptop, in fact I'm using it now and I think it's fantastic, I will never pay for a copy of Windows for home use again.

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 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.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Ubuntu generally works just fine on my Santa Rosa laptop. 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...

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 For the record, Ubuntu detected everything on my laptop and my scanner and digital camera and webcam all run fine too without any drivers that aren't already there in Linux. I tried Ubuntu 7.04 and it was like a rocket.

Monolithic OS Upgrades Are So Over
