Switching to Ubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| Okay, I am now in the process of, maybe, switching to Ubuntu Linux
| from Windows. I have read way too many ?bad? reviews of Vista. One
| minute it's the cat's meow, the next it won?t run right unless you
| have a minimum of 4 Gigs of RAM. Sheesh. Thus the (more than
| likely) changeover.
|
| Anyway. I have installed Ubuntu onto its very own hard drive.

|
| Still, no crashes, no lockups, just sits there, chugging along,
| while I do my stuff.

WPA wireless "just works" in Ubuntu 7.04

| Windows XP is normally thought to have great support for wireless
| networks. This is true for some networks, but many secure
| wireless networks require the user to perform multiple complex
| steps to configure the correct security and authentication
| settings. To see what I mean, just look at these instructions
| to connect to various University wireless networks.
|
| On the other hand, the Mac OS X interface looks very similar
| to Ubuntu 7.04. Just like Ubuntu, it will allow you to
| painlessly connect to secure wireless networks.

| For years, Linux has had a reputation of being notoriously bad for
| wireless access, whether through access points, ad-hoc, whatever.
| But the new KWirelessNetwork applet thats included in the new
| Kubuntu beta is just incredible.
