Blog Comment Well, in the true Linux spirit of being helpful to other Linux users, I would recommend that you install Automatix as soon as you have finished installing your (K)ubuntu distro. I don't know what Microsoft tried to do with Vista.all I know is that...

Blog Comment Bring up the Adept Manager in Ubuntu. That's the kind of candy store Vista is. Microsoft's now promoting Vista with a campaign called "100 reasons why everyone's so speechless". Running Vista is like being in a candy store that only sells black...
