My next step, after installing the basic Debian system, is to switch the install to Ubuntu. at 5:33 am Which Ubuntu? Then, I tried to install Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) via netboot. So I switched to the very standard ethernet PC cards that Gavin so thoughtfully included, and bingo – everything works. Edgy or a Feisty beta?

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.

at 2:57 pm As someone who started with an Apple II, then a Pineapple(clone), then a Timex-Sinclair 1000 & 2068, then Performa 450, then PowerComputing(clone), then PC’s with Win98 and now Ubuntu, I guess I understand. at 7:57 pm You make some very good points and I think I will “go Ubuntu&# too.

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?)

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. I did a webinar for NTEN on it – ReadyTalk worked just fine. (If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.) I’ll keep you posted on URLs and feeds. {

Get Ubuntu , and have done already. But if you really want to have done with stuff like this, get Ubuntu. So if you are a hardware geek, expect to pay MS every other time you get a new motherboard. And since they seem to upgrade their OS every 6 years or so … I have a suggestion. But you’d still have to buy Windows.

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.

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.

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.

Hopefully with nokia, openmoko, gnome, google, ubuntu, dell and some others, this gap will close. It’s as good as Microsoft’s Outlook Web Access for Exchange 2003 but not as good as the current Outlook Web Access product. That’s open source, no?

at 10:09 am It is the most recent version available for Ubuntu Gutsy (the distro I’m running now.) Or rather, do you have xrandr? If so, try “xrandr –auto&# from inside your crappy-res GUI. 4 admin 03.01.08 I think, actually, the problem is more about the nvidia drivers, but xrandr is very good to know about.
