gArGOyLe^^ · **Ubuntu 7.04 -** 04-20-07

I'm enjoying the latest version of Ubuntu a lot. Even though I use Linux almost all the time at work for all sorts of system administration work, I wasn't using it for my home computers. Desktop home use was too much of a pain for me because of all the driver issues and manual settings. Fortunately, Ubuntu 7.04 has done a way with most of these issues and I am seriously considering moving away permanently from Vista.

The final straw came when Vista asked me FOUR times whether or not I was sure that I wanted to delete a folder from my C:\Program Files folder.

1 ) Are you sure you want to delete?
me: yes
2 ) All the files and folders inside it will be deleted. Are you sure?
me: Yes.
3 ) You will need to provide permission to delete this. Continue?
me: YES!
4 ) *screen goes dark*. Windows needs your permission. Delete this file or not?
me: IWEIIGSEIG23G0328G@#g@#(g@#(HGSEI9

So I grabbed the fastest Ubuntu torrent that I could find and within an hour I am sitting here typing this up. It feels like heaven with out MS nagging me about everything. The best thing is that it comes with a lot of restricted drivers that were giving me trouble earlier. So graphics, sound, wireless everything pretty much worked out of the box.

I'm also loving the Beryl/Compviz desktop manager. Vista can't even compare. I'll post some more details later once I poke around this some more!
