August 9, 2007 It’s been 7 weeks of using Ubuntu 7.04 (better known as Feisty Fawn) as my primary desktop. I have no problem getting just about all of my work done using Ubuntu. I’m looking forward to Gutsy Gibbon, Ubuntu 7.10 I figured it was time to give my final assessment. coming out in October.

In Kubuntu, the distribution of Ubuntu I had installed, the WPA-enabled Network Manager isn’t installed by default (or at least it seemed not to have been installed when I did it – could have been my fault.) The problems I “solved&# by offloading the functions onto the web. There are several issues here, of course.

of nonprofits already use Linux server-side – either in-house, or if not, their web host usually does. Walmart was selling $200 PCs running gOS (no, that doesn’t stand for googleOS, but greenOS, based on Ubuntu 7.10,) and they sold out. A large chunk (the majority?)

This migration, unlike the Mac OS -> Ubuntu migration, has been completely painless. A few tweaks (mentioned in the previous post,) and I was up and running with all posts and comments intact. Add a few important plugins, and I’m back to where I was just a few days ago on Typepad. Now, there is. Actually, there are several.

I’m on week 3 of my Ubuntu laptop migration – things are smoothing out – I’ve got audio working, I can listen to mp3 and audio streams. That sounded like good advice, since it might take me quite a while to get to step 1. (If, If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.)

But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. Once Ubuntu finished booting, I clicked the wonderful “install&# icon at the top. A few minutes later, I had a Ubuntu install with KDE – but it was bare bones. Ubuntu doesn’t come default with an easy GUI way to connect to a wireless access point.

And, of course, there are some other situations where Linux also shines: kiosks, internet cafes, computer labs and email/web workstations. I think it can also work for the folks who perhaps use laptops as their primary machines, and don’t do anything except email and web. I use Ubuntu on a dual-boot (XP) machine.
