Review of Ubuntu 7.04 Alpha 5 (Feisty Fawn)
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 7.04 Herd 5 is a good look into what to expect from the
| upcoming release from (arguably) the most popular distro on the
| planet and it seems to be making steps in the right direction, but
| I can't help but think that more good can be found with PCLOS or
| Mepis. It's absolutely worth a look and probably the best starting
| point for users fresh from XP due to sheer size of the community.
| So it's worth a look but it's probably not worth existing Ubuntu
| users abandoning their LTS Dapper release for.

| * This whole experience has been too cool. My complements to the
| Ubuntu team for putting 7.04 together. If this is an Alpha release
| then I can't wait for the betas or the final release.

| In balance, though, up to this point, I still see MEPIS as being
| the software leader. Not only does it give you better programs --
| Firefox and Evolution -- it offers you more choice from the moment
| you fire it up on your PC.

A Vista vs. Linux Matchup

| Putting aside Apple hardware, where all the software works with
| all the hardware so long as it's all up to the minute, I found

| Adding insult to injury, since DRM protection schemes must
| evolve constantly, to stay ahead of hackers tearing them down,
| I have little doubt that one day you'll come home to find that
| a Vista update to DRM-protection has just locked you out of your
| media collection. You know, the same collection, which had
| worked just fine the day before. Repeat after me: DRM does
| not belong in operating systems.
