Ubuntu 7.04 review
Reviews Ubuntu's GNOME interface accessed our existing Windows XP Dell MPX wallpaper automatically, so our desktop immediately had a familiar look. While Ubuntu ships with more hardware drivers than Windows Vista, it lacks some for wireless chipsets and...

PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome On New Laptop.
Blog I then downloaded and installed PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome. I first tried the latest version of Ubuntu, but it didn't find all the hardware and I've never been a real fan. I played with VISTA for 2 days and was so frustrated with trying to find items...

PCLinuxOS 2008 Gnome On New Laptop.
Blog Comment Anyway, I agree with you, between Ubuntu and XP Professional, it is extremely unlikely that I will ever go back to Vista for anything more than just general-interest testing and comparison. That's an interesting question - how many of Vista's...

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...
