Different 6/28/2008 The only thing I don't like is the pass word feature, you must enter a password- but every thing else works nicely- i'm a newbie at this so its different, I've using Ubuntu more than XP now. To any who wants to use this OS its very simple just a little different open you mind and it will come to you. enjoy..... Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Good OS if you have a Degree in IT technology. 6/23/2008 Easy to set up but after that it's just one headache after the next with drivers... it's worse than vista, yes I said it...VISTA sucks but at least it can access the internet right out of the box without IT technical configuration. It works with nothing but the programs that came with it, and wireless internet, forget it...in the Ubuntu users guide it says if ubuntu does not recognize your wireless card, get a new one.....yeah right: great guide.. I'll just use OS X or Xandros. OS X is the best no hassel OS, next to that for my Eee PC I have switched back to what actually works...Xandros, which is the OS that comes preloaded on the Eee, it's the best and everything wroks soon as you turn on the computer. No need to totally reconfigure Ubuntn/Xubuntu etc you have better things to do with your life then soend days on end configuring Ubuntu to play mp3's, watch you tube, have sound, be able to get on the internet, not have a retarded resolution and virtually anything else you may want to do give extra wasted time for config. Ubuntu is a waste of time, Xandros Linux just works...nuff said. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
not too shabby, kind of a headache, get 8.04 4/29/2008 I procured my copy of ubuntu directly from canonical about 2 months ago, after a few weeks of messing around with it I decided to wait for the lts release. the program itself is awesome, its efficient aesthetically pleasing and most certainly superior to windows. Unfortunately 7.10 is notorious for having issues with propreitary hardware from HP Pavillion laptops. I fought with my broadcom drivers for about 2 weeks trying to get them to work. and the nvidia. In the end I was still having issues with various files and hardware. 8.04 was just released thursday and it is phenominal. i had no problems logging on, I didn't have to enter exceptions to the logon script and i didn't have issue with the graphics or sound. But most importaintly I didn't have nearly as much trouble with the hardware in my computer. The best thing about Ubuntu is that you have a dedicated group of people on [...] that walk you through any issues you have with the system. I truly do look forward to joining to assist as soon as I can get a hang of the system, they have been truly helpful everytime i've had an issue. Canonical states that they want to bring the Ubuntu philosophy of goodwill to others to the software world. They have succeeded admirably with this operating system. And as for Mr. Jobs and Mr. Gates, keep an eye out because Ubuntu is superior to both mac os and windows by leaps and bounds and is free as opposed to 200.00 a release. Thank You.

Great OS if it matches your system. Get 8.04 instead. 4/23/2008 I tried 7.10 a few weeks ago but had a few monitor problems. Some monitor types it doesn't recognise. I first tried it with a live boot up CD and I just got a load of rubbish on the monitor. I found that if I rebooted but pressed F1 and chose one of the options which allowed me to enter commands (I entered [live vga=771 noapic nolapic] it booted up fine with no monitor problems. But not a practical option. I now use the new Ubuntu version 8.04 which I have no problems with. It's the prerelease LTS version and it certainly beats XP. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
the best 4/21/2008 If I were just learning Ubuntu and had subsequent experience with Window Vista, It would be difficult for me to understand why anyone would even consider the latter OS as preferable, given the vast array of Linux software at minimal if any expense compared to the constant, time consuming, and budget breaking upkeep of Windows programs and the price of many additional applications one may wish to add. Open source software and Linux have provided the opposite experience. Happily my Windows Vista crashed on my year old laptop and without the Windows Vista OS disk that is no longer supplied with a computer purchase, I was "forced" to again resort to Linux, and I had forgotten just how great the Ubuntu program is. I say a silent thanks to all those folks who gave us Linux and Ubuntu and who continue to develop a superb OS for all of us to use. One additional brief anecdotal comment- I note some complaints regarding wireless speed and connectivity- I have had no such problems on my system. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
