A User's Look at Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
,----[ Quote ]
| You've probably read more than a few reviews of Ubuntu 8.10 by now, but most
| will have focused on technology like what bits of the kernel are new. While
| such features are the wet dreams of programmers, it can be hard to relate
| them to day-to-day experience. Instead, let's take an end-user look at the
| productivity boosts that Ubuntu 8.10 brings, so you can judge if Ubuntu 8.10
| is actually likely to offer you any benefits or not.

| The eternal quandary of the Ubuntu user is whether to stick with the
| long-term support release, or upgrade to the hottest testing release. Ubuntu
| 8.10 somehow manages to be a subtle yet significant improvement, and some of
| the new features are extremely desirable.

"Bill Gates looks at everything as something that should be his. He acts in any

There is not an ounce of conscientiousness or compassion in him. The notion of
fairness means nothing to him. The only thing he understands is leverage."
