A look at Ubuntu--and at how Linux can appear to beginners
,----[ Quote ]
| One other data point to that effect: After
| installing Linux on the Dell and Sony
| laptops noted in the column (in addition to
| testing an in-place upgrade from the copy
| of Ubuntu 9.10 I'd installed on another
| Dell last year), I took that first Dell on
| last week's reporting trip to San
| Francisco--then didn't boot into Windows
| until Thursday morning. Everything you read
| here from Monday through Wednesday of that
| week was done in Linux. I finally switched
| back to Windows to write my column, since
| that required running remote editing
| software that doesn't work (or I don't
| know how to work--anybody have advice on
| Citrix in Ubuntu?) in Linux.

Ubuntu Fun

| So I also installed the Ubuntu Netbook
| Remix on the Toshiba Netbook we have. Used
| Wubi as before. It was very slow (10+
| minutes) on bootup however. Luckily the
| internet is full of information and a few
| minutes of googling produced this forum
| thread that had me change a setting in the
| BIOS. Now it boots quickly. There's another
| page on How-To Geek about doing this install.

A Sleek & Easy Way To Administer Ubuntu â Ubuntu Control Center
,----[ Quote ]
| As you know, Ubuntu and Linux are hugely
| configurable. Find some spare time and you
| can customize anything starting from the
| boot up messages to the gradients used on
| the buttons and the scroll bars. While one
| might not attempt such extreme feats very
| often, administration and configuration are
| standard tasks that you might perform every
| now and then.

Five Usability Improvements in Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| While no operating system is perfectly
| intuitive, Ubuntu gives its competitors a
| good run when it comes to usability.
| Other Linux distributions, and proprietary
| operating systems, certainly do some
| things better than Ubuntu. But all in
| all, Iâm impressed with the attention to
| user-friendliness evident in Lucid.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Lucid Lynx Benchmarked And Reviewed
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 10.04 LTS comes with a video editor
| pre-installed--a widely perceived weak
| point in desktop Linux distributions.
| PiTiVi is probably the best choice to
| bundle with Ubuntu. It is one of the
| easiest-to-use video editors out there,
| yet still robust enough to keep most users
| from seeking an upgrade. Throw in the best
| GTK conformity, and PiTiVi is the obvious
| choice for Ubuntu. With a minimalist
| interface and a focus on drag-and-drop
| interaction, this app finally brings Linux
| users a video editor that can seriously
| compete with Windows Movie Maker for user-
| friendliness.
