'The veteran essayist and cable TV star says he will "install [Ubuntu 8.10]
permanently on my latest machines."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'Dvorak says that he previously shied away from Linux due to problems using it
with the "overloaded" hardware that computer journalists of his stature are
apparently awash in. Now, though, the "live CD" feature ubiquitous in Linux
installers lets him verify hardware support prior to installation. To his
surprise, Dvorak notes, "Almost all the newest hardware coming out has Linux
support."
'Dvorak adds, "The critical mass has been reached, and it's time everyone tried
Ubuntu."'
