October 18, 2007 Ubuntu Linux has a new release, version 7.10, called “ Gutsy Gibbon.&# (Really I don’t know where these names come from!) It seems that with Ubuntu, Linux is getting closer and closer to being a completely viable and usable desktop for everyone. {

It works pretty well (at this moment, I’m now downloading and installing the base system.) The one snag I hit (not unusual) is that originally, I was using the wireless cards for networking, but the basic Debian system didn’t recognize them. at 5:33 am Which Ubuntu? That’s easier than it sounds.

Ubuntu As this article states, Ubuntu is a very popular distribution right now, and Canonical is working hard to get Ubuntu in as wide a range of hands as possible. Ubuntu also has also focused a lot of effort on building community, and has, hands down, the most vibrant, helpful and deep community of any Linux distribution.

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.

The Macintosh operating system has without question, the best, most intuitive user interface ever invented, built on top of the best OS invented, UNIX. I like building my own systems – I need a new desktop, and I like the idea that I can build my own easily, and get a fair bit of power fairly cheaply. So you could have done that.

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.) Of course with my mac, I opened up the system preferences, checked a button, and, voila! Directories were shared.

I’ve basically switched to using my Mac mini for just about everything except the bit of systems admin and coding I do, because it’s just so much easier to set up things on Linux for that type of work.

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?)

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.

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.

I used to have this great system where I used the Mac Addressbook, which would nicely sync with my cell phone. Hopefully with nokia, openmoko, gnome, google, ubuntu, dell and some others, this gap will close. As you might recall, I migrated from a Mac desktop to a Linux desktop a month and a half ago. One big one was my address book.

If you have an older system but are worried that it won’t support Windows 10 — or if you simply don’t want to deal with Windows anymore — I have a suggestion: Switch to desktop Linux. And Microsoft’s exporting its new Edge web browser to Linux. The best-known include such distros as Debian , openSUSE , and Ubuntu. Which Linux?

The first step is configuring a new AWS IAM user for Terraform, this will be the only step executed in the AWS web console. The result? You’ll need a machine with Docker and an AWS account.
