Hi There,

I am a huge ubuntu fan, and I am using this distro since 2006. But unhappily I have to agree with a few comments above.

Unfortunately, that is the worse ubuntu version release (well.. I can talk from 2006 till today).

I think Canonical made a terrible mistake launching a LTS release with FF3 Beta

Anyway, I am looking forward for ubuntu 8.10… till there, I am back I will keep my 7.10 version installed in my computer (maybe I will try Mint 5.0 when it is release).

Well this version of Ubuntu for the most part worked out of the box for me. I had a little trouble getting the video drivers working properly but was able to succeed. One good thing is instead of all the problems I’ve been having with MS I can now really do some work. I’ll keep XP around for some gaming but its not really needed anymore for serious computer work.

Everything worked out of the box in Ubuntu 7.10. With Ubuntu 8.04, I can’t even connect with my wireless network, i.e. no internet, no access to forae and help, etc. Then tried Kubuntu 8.04, same problem. At present using Windows XP, intend downloading Fedora 9 later this week …

Ubuntu 8.04 is the first one I have got to work properly for me.
Tried 7.04 and 7.10 and had trouble installing both of them,and had problems with things like Flash being unavailable ,, and after needing to re-install 7.10 - total failure.

Gave up , use MSXP until Hardy came out.
Downloaded it , installed it , configured it , messed about with it and found that it works very well for me.

Still a few things to work out but I think that I have finished with MS after 20 years of use.

God Bless its creator.

I’ve installed Hardy on two systems and both work perfectly. One system is a desktop the other a laptop. On the Inspiron 2200 3d graphics works out of the box with Hardy. I never got it working on Gusty. As as for themes I use the NoNameRetro theme and Avant Window Navigator for more cool effects. I feel sorry for Mike going back to Windows because on both computers I put it on it blows Windows away in looks (after some tweaking) and functionality.

Also for ff3 if you use the Nightly Tester Tools extension and click override all compatibility most of your favorite extensions will work, or at least mine did. Good review and a great distro. I tried to get away from Ubuntu (mostly the colors) but I keep coming back realizing finally that it is the best, for now (patiently waiting for Mepis 8).

spankings for all the malcontents. sure, Hardy isn’t perfect, but then again WindBlows is a nightmare, by comparison. Ubuntu Linux is pure, clean, healthy, exact, content, peace!
