First Impressions of Hardy Heron
I installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron on the wife’s AMD 64 last night and have been playing around with it all day. Now, Lorie can cause a computer to stop working by looking at it and is afraid to go Window-less completely. But the new Vista Laptop blows. Several of her favorite older programs don’t work. several of her newer, barely ran on XP won’t on Vista, the memory and CPU Hog. Show she was willing to give it a shot. Here’s the initial Impressions:
- WUBI Rocks!- The Wubi installer is pretty awesome. In fact, if there’s one thing to make Heron a Windows killer, this is it. We installed Heron as a file on the Windows drive, and it works perfectly. No partitioning, no destruction, just pure Linux goodness cohabiting peacefully with Windows. Switch back and forth pretty much on the fly. Eventually, I’m sure she’ll find herself using Windows less often each day, until…She’s a Linux Geek like Me!! Bwahahaha.
- Ubuntu Graphic Designers Rock!- Nice tweaks and overall boost. Very Cool.
- Firefox Beta Crashes- Not yet ready, better get the release done fast.
- Why DVD? -Just about everything I’ve tried to install with Synaptic is a third party package from the repository, not the DVD.
Anyway, More updates coming. Have fun.
