Ubuntu 9.10 and GNOME 2.28: Advancing Past Meh
,----[ Quote ]
| Many eons ago, GNOME 1.4 still lived, and it
| was good. It was extremely configurable and
| hackable. You could use either Enlightenment
| or Sawfish as the window manager, and could
| customize it to your heart's content. It was
| even friendly to homegrown GTK+ hacks. And
| then tragedy struck: the GNOME maintainers
| decided that 1.4 needed a ground-up rewrite,
| and thus GNOME 2.0 was born.

| There is a discussion going on in the

| onto talking about existing adverts from
| Microsoft and Apple and I thought Iâd share
| with the wider community my thoughts.

Working with Ubuntu One
,----[ Quote ]
| I've only recently come back to using the
| Ubuntu One service; I gave up on it the
| first few times I tried it. For one thing,
| I wasn't happy with the way it created
| conflict files here and there. In part, I
| should have expected such behavior, but at
| the time, I found it too annoying and just
| switched back to using my good ol' flash
| drive.

Ubuntu 9.10 on Dell Latitude D820 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The PowerBook G4 Mac in the house finally
| quit working. We splurged $300 on a brand new
| laptop recently. We got a 3 year old Dell
| Latitude D820 from Craigslist. With 2.16 GHz
| Intel Core Duo, and 1920Ã1200 screen
| resolution â that makes for an impressive
| system with Ubuntu 9.10 installed.
|
| [...]
|
| All in all, I am very pleased with the clean
| look and speedy performance of Ubuntu 9.10 on
| the Dell D820. Linux has come a long way, and
| now looks totally professional, especially on
| a high resolution screen. It certainly feels
| like Iâm using serious computing power, and
| the fact that itâs open source, free, and so
| adaptable â is just inspiring. Thanks to the
| leagues of open source developers out there
| who created an amazing system, which in my
| opinion is clearly superior to Windows on the
| basis of speed, flexibility, and cost. Iâd
| like to hear from others if they also have
| similar opinions on the speed issues â and if
| so â why isnât everyone switching to Linux on
| the basis of that metric alone.
