david.atwell 290 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm considering dualing Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu with Win7 sometime in the future. Thoughts?

Lance McKnight 4 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ubuntu for sure, david. I had played with it before I crashed my PC by installing it without partiting my hard drive...*Sigh* The OS is one sweet deal, better than Windows, period. Quote Officially retired from this forum.

Crazy Man Dan 19 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm considering dualing Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu with Win7 sometime in the future. Thoughts? Ubuntu is by far the most end-user friendly Linux distro I've ever tried, and since it's based on Debian, it's super-versatile as well. Further, the changes present in the new release make it even better - note that I have not encountered the Inkscape bug Simon mentioned, while I have used the program to edit a client's logo already today. If you're looking to run a Linux distro as a Desktop operating system, Ubuntu's huge library of optional packages and automatic non-primary partition recognition and mounting make it a breeze to switch to. I'd go with Ubuntu and try the other two environments. I've never tried KDE - primarily because I hate the whole K[] substitution. Like "Mortal Kombat Kollection", "Konqueror" and its ilk just get on my nerves. :wink: Quote I am not a mechanism, I am part of the resistance; I am an organism, an animal, a creature, I am a beast. ~ Becoming the Archetype Link to post Share on other sites
usedHONDA 4 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 My happiness: well, a lot of things, really. But I'll just type as I think of things I'm happy about. Google Chrome is awesome (I stopped using Firefox entirely a few weeks ago; Chrome is ~4x faster, and I never run out of RAM, and it passes Acid3). I just managed to learn the intro to Paranoid Android on my guitar, and it feels epic Oh, and I'm in Mozart mode (constant awesome music creation ftw).

Rubrica 14 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've finally mastered port forwarding! I'm very, very pleased with myself. Sure, it's not that big an achievment, but who cares? Shame my router can only hold 20 ports... then again, I'm probably not going to need 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Ryan 15 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 A few happies: - My server's host surprised me with two free domain tokens. I can now get two domains for free! - I got invited to Google Wave. This means I now have 20 invitations. If you want one, and you think I'll give you one, PM me. - First term is over, and second term is filled with classes I am really excited to take - Paranormal Activity was awesome!
