Hardy Beta: Ooh La La
,----[ Quote ]
| For a while now I have been running hardy in VMWare and on my secondary
| laptop, and I generally migrate my main work machine to a new Ubuntu when the
| beta comes out. An Ubuntu beta is a great opportunity to really test Ubuntu
| and ensure it is as bug free as possible, so go and check it out. Think of it
| like building a huge wall, if we each put in one brick, together we can make
| something pretty darn solid.

Hands-On with Ubuntu 8.04 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| When you turn on your television, it’s hard to avoid those Mac vs. PC
| commercials. They’re clever, funny, and also misleading. Judging by those
| commercials, the average non-techie consumer would assume that those are the
| only two computing platforms available, which would be quite erroneous.
| Linux, the operating system that powers the Asus Eee PC and Everex CloudBook,
| comes in a variety of flavors, but the current face of the alternative OS is
| Ubuntu.
