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. Haven't had time to do any performance testing, but subjectively...

Triple Boot Ubuntu/Vista/XP - No Go So Far
Blog Ubuntu (Grub) correctly saw that there were two bootable Windows partitions on the disk, and both Vista and Ubuntu booted correctly, but when I tried to boot the XP partition, it actually started to boot Vista but then complained that the boot...

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.

More Pleasant Surprises With Ubuntu
Blog If all of that works, I'll keep Ubuntu on that one, and swap the S2110 back to the Windows XP Pro disk.jw 3/6/2008 The Citrix Presentation Server Client is definitely much more stable on Ubuntu than it is on Windows.

Talkback Personally if I was setting up my company from scratch - I'd use Ubuntu, why would anyone on a tight budget risk installing/using pirated software, or spending £300-500 of your initial budget per machine on software which either way would be a...

Monolithic OS Upgrades Are So Over
Blog But if I can find all the drivers I need for Ubuntu then I may well make a permanent switch asall other issues aside I do find the regular, bite-sized upgrades of Linux so much more palatable. I am also waiting to get my hands on Ubuntu 7.10 to see...

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.

Dual-Boot Ubuntu And Windows XP Professional
Blog I kept my "primary" Windows XP disk intact, by using a second disk drive which I had previously used to test Vista and Ubuntu on that system. But that one is actually able to run Vista (more or less), so I would like to set it up with partitions...

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...

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? There, the computer has two partitions, and for historical reasons the ubuntu system...

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).

OpenSUSE 11.0 First Impressions
Blog As I told my brother (who is still using XP, and has sworn not to touch Vista until Hell freezes over), in many cases the average user who is accustomed to Windows XP would have no more trouble changing to Linux (openSUSE or Ubuntu) than they...

Microsoft: Don't Sell PCs Without Operating Systems
Talkback If I were in charge, which I'm not, I would give the option to buy a "naked PC" along with Windows XP/Vista/etc, some of the more popular linux distros, Ubuntu and Xandros, and a "naked PC" bundled with whatever OS install disk they want, just...

... But Still A Few Things Amiss (with Vista)
Blog Comment Likewise, I would be very pleased if everyone (or at least a large proportion of people) would make the plunge to Linux, whether it be Ubuntu, Mandriva or one of the others - and I think that most of them would be quite happy after they did it.

Wireless Networking - Linksys WRT350N And Intel 4965AGN

Can Linux Replace Windows - Maybe!
Blog In fact as I said to my brother yesterday evening, a typical Windows XP user could probably switch to Ubuntu or Mandriva Linux more easily today than they can switch to Vista. I loaded Ubuntu Linux on my test laptop a couple of weeks ago more or...

What A Joke
Talkback Well, Vista annoys me so much, I am going back to XP or Ubuntu. That and other superflous parts of Vista. Mind you when I try to fix a friends PC and tell him he needs anti virus, etc, he snarls at me 'If Windows was so Fxxxxxxx Good - why do we...
