Linux taking center stage this week
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, Linux makes me happy in a way that Windows and OS X cannot. Now as I
| end this post, I know two things. Windows users will reply they have about
| 90% of the market and no business will ever take Linux seriously. I disagree
| and think Microsoft has peaked and is slowly being replaced with Linux as
| well as Mac's OS X. Sensitive Apple users will be appalled that I don't find
| Mac's OS X all that interesting even though many have never tried using a
| modern Linux desktop. Tough, deal with your own issues of needing to put
| your Macbook on a diet before the next version of OS X arrives. My Linux
| boxes are happy and healthy.

| I usually choose to do the minimal ‘desktop’ installation for any distro if

| me a command line prompt and that was COOL to use apt-get to install the
| system. There are some limitations but only to what you know about linux.

A Mac Devotee Looks at Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex"

| 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
| the System Folder. I used Disk Copy to image everything in around 600 MB
| chunks so that I could burn them to a CD.

| I’m living the dream, I tell you! I’ve swapped my MacBook for a Dell Mini and

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.
