Windows vs Linux mk 2
,----[ Quote ]
| A short while ago, I installed Windows XP on one of my computers. *horror*.
| It’s not so bad. It does some things quite well. Even after bloating it up
| with about 50 open source apps, it still seems to chug away quite merrily. I
| gor rid of the antivirus software, as it slowed the system down. What is
| this ‘virus’ thing that everyone keeps talking about anyway? Today, a win to
| Linux and a win to Windows XP.

Replacing your Windows/Mac apps on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Switching operating systems can be tough. When you get accustomed to certain
| applications sometimes it can be hard to learn how to use other ones. I
| recently installed Ubuntu Eee (soon to be Easy Peasy) on my Eee PC 901 and it
| took quite a while to find apps that cam do everything I can do within Mac OS
| X and Windows.

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t work for me. No location bar
| and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
| move files around the way I want to.
| 2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
| panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
| however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
| applications or files on them, and you can’t even put in a separator to
| keep them organized.
| 3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
| * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
| only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
| annoying when the program you’re using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you can’t see hidden files unless you run a command from the
| terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
| or always off.

A Mac Devotee Looks at Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex"
,----[ Quote ]
| If Apple came out with a netbook, I'd be tempted to choose it over a
| Linux-based netbook for a variety of reasons. One of them is that it would
| slot into our Mac-centric home network (mostly in terms of syncing and
| existing software) more easily. Another is that I've been more blown away by
| the iPod Touch than I ever thought I could be, and an Apple netbook might
| have the same effect. Today, however, that choice doesn't exist and won't for
| the forseeable future, and as my shoulders and back start to ache and cramp
| from the time spent in front of a desktop writing overlong blog posts, an
| Ubuntu netbook continues to be an increasingly attractive option.

Ubuntu on an iBook

| I started by backing up my information. Everything, everything - including

OSX upgrade crashes Macs
,----[ Quote ]
| APPLE which bases mucho of its marketing on the fact that its rivals crash a
| lot, has just released an update for its Mac OS X that... er, crashes a lot.
|
| The 10.5.6 update for Mac OS X, Leopard was declared perfect and holy in the
| sight of Steve Jobs and was eagerly downloaded by fanboys everywhere.
