| After looking around and playing with Ubuntu 7, it's safe to say
| that the features, ease of use and stability of this distro may
| be enough to edge Linux desktops into corporate offices. Given
| that Ubuntu supports a VMWare-like environment, you can bet that
| Ubuntu will crop up in many test labs as well.

Giving Vista the Boot - Back to Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| After approximately a month after the install Vista became very sluggish
| and programs would crash without any particular reason, however they
| would not crash the usual way the would in XP, the program would
| close automatically and a dialog box would pop up letting me know the
| program had closed and it was trying to find a solution for the problem
| and reporting the problem to Microsoft.
|
| I became very fed up with the current setup and decided enough was
| enough. It was time for me to getUbuntu back to some familiarity. I
| decided to download the new version on Ubuntu 7.04 and give it a whirl
| on my system. I got rid of Vista and installed Ubuntu, within
| approximately 15 Mins Ubuntu was ready to go with pretty much most
| of the applications I needed.
