CibbuanoUbuntu Hardy Heron Alpha released
February 29th 2008 11:46
It's no big secret that I love Ubuntu, the Linux distribution that finally, to me, made sense. It's been a long time since I used Windows on my laptop at home, and a big shout-out should go to the Ubuntu team for making a distro so easy to use, with such a fantastic community that I've never felt like I needed Windows for anything.
I've been using Gutsy Gibbon flawlessly now for months, and I'm excited about upgrading to the next version, Hardy Heron. It's still in Alpha, which means it's just to play on.
I'm so thrilled with Ubuntu that I've even tried installing Kubuntu, which I'm using now... it suits my laptop so well that I've gone over to Kubuntu completely, uninstalling the gnome desktop that defaults with Ubuntu.
The best part about all this - it's free. It's free and it runs so well... if Linux starts getting mass support, it could really mean the development of something special, though it'll take some steam away from Microsoft.
It took Microsoft -what?- 7 years to come out with Vista, and it's been a laughable opening. Unstable, insulting to users and slow... I used Vista for some work and it left me feeling angry. It was a new laptop, not cheap, and Vista came pre-loaded. Despite the solid hardware, the operating system was slow and unresponsive, interrupting me to ask me if I 'really' wanted to do something.
No, I'll stick with Ubuntu, which is so thoughtful that I'm almost touched.
Looking forward to the official release of Hardy Heron, which should be in April 2008!
