Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog Comment Actually my Gutsy Gibbon is strutting its stuff (very effectively) on a VMWare VM on top of Vista rather than XP. I have another XP machine running as a GoToMyPC session in another window. Got to fill up that 30in.screen somehow you know.

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...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Strangely, no one has pointed out that there is one important UI area where Vista is far and away more advanced and capable than either XP, Linux, or even Mac OS: the tablet PC platform. Vista is the only OS for PC's (including Macs) that has...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment XP works, it's got loads of faults, but it works and I see no pressing reason to move to Vista. Gibbon every time Vista is extremely slow, even on computers apparently designed for it. When I've tried it on computers not designed for Vista it seems...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I'm not a professional techie but I'm comfortable and reasonably knowledgeable about computers and I'm just furious about the load of crap that is Vista. Vista is horrible. I recently bought a beautiful new Dell laptop - the XPS M1330 with all the...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Vista will probably never be faster than most distros of Linux but it should run much faster on a clean install without a bunch of services and apps the manufacturer decided to add. "Why is Vista so slow"

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment As a matter of fact, my old clunker PC is now running Kubuntu with only 256M and a 1.7GHz processor and beats the pants off of Vista on a dual core processor with a Gig of memory. I have had the same experience as I posted on my blog (http://blogs...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I did install a couple of games and they worked a treat, but guess what - they were full screen and so don't use the GUI. What I found so frustrating was the experience of just trying to get stuff done, and that was down to both the sluggish speed...

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Plus, whine and moan all you want about speeding up Vista, it still provides a terrible way to control your operating system from the standpoint of an experienced user. I keep seeing this notion that Vista must be defended simply because everyone...

Vista Vs Ubuntu: This Time, It's Virtual
Blog Comment Fired it up & installed Ubuntu 7.10. Time for some fun with Ubuntu I think. I do have 3 gig of RAM, but everything runs sweetly on an otherwise mundane Dell Optiplex GX620. Downloaded VirtualBox, and installed it on XP Pro.

Blog Comment And he keeps flashing it around in the office, to the annoyance of all. Yes, children. Uncle Charles has a huge one. The things we have to put up with.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment There is a clear story emerging here of people seem to be - as I was - genuinely surprised by their relative experiences running Vista and a Linux distribution. To El Jefe: You're right, mistyping MB for GB is inexcusable, and shows the perils of...

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 Oh, and I am sick enough of OSX and the way it is going nowhere very slowly, sick of the insular fanatical users, that I am currently switching back to XP and/or Ubuntu. It is just more of the same with extra eye candy from Apple.

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...

Blog Comment Hasn't got a critical mass of support: technically, it's fine, but if you're going to be listening to digital music online you can't do it by Ogg alone. Ah, Ogg. The trouble with Ogg is that it's not MP3.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment On my computers at home I'm running XP on the desktop, Ubuntu 7.04 on the LAMP server and two laptops, one running OS X and one running Ubuntu 7.10. I like Ubuntu A LOT, it's so easy to install and configure.

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment In reply to the few above that talk of only being able to play games on Windows. Freespace 2, a popular vote for Sim Game of the Year in 1999, was made open-source a while back, and within a year, a crack team of 6-7 people who knew nothing of the...
