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 Comment I am recommending Linux, specifically Ubuntu 7.10 to family and friends because we, the people that purchase new computers, should not have to pay so much money to have an operating system so advanced it.well you know the saying "so smart you are...

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). I decided to get it with Vista and not XP because I wanted to get...

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I wouldn't go near Vista but I do have a RHEL server in the basement that never needs touching from one month to the next - a quick VNC or ssh occasionally is all it takes -- and I've got Ubuntu in a VM on my desktop, and in a second partition on...

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).

Vista Versus The Gutsy Gibbon - Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 on my main work machine, in an overwhelmingly Windows organisation, and it works just fine. The wild card here is virtualisation: you can easily run Windows in a virtual box under Ubuntu, so you can have quite a...

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.

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. When I've tried it on computers not designed for Vista it seems to spend its time telling me how bad my hardware is.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment This simply didn't happen with Windows XP, and that makes it all the more remarkable. 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.

Why I've Moved From Vista To Ubuntu 7.10
Blog Comment Hey, I'm not sore about the hardware, I actually find a lot to like in WIndows XP, I'm not holding my breath for Leopard, and I did remove enough bloatware to keep a liposuctionist busy for a week. My point is that the change is such that, combined...
