Upgraded

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just finished upgrading my home desktop to Ubuntu 7.04. So far, so good. Now I’ve just got to do some research and figure out what’s new. Any of you Ubuntu fans want to point me in the direction of what’s new and cool in Fiesty? I’m looking forward to digging into it some more, but right now I need to get to bed. Been fighting with a nasty chest cold all week and am on the clock all day tomorrow to take photos at the Centennial Celebration at the Main Library. While that will be fun, and good experience, it is an all-day event. I should rest up!

    Part of my desire to use Ubuntu on this desktop was to see just how far Linux on the desktop has come since the last time I tried it out. (On top of just learning some more about using Linux in general.) So I’ve been keeping a very close eye on just how often I…

  • Authorization and updates

    You know, a lot was made of Vista’s security feature that would ask a user to approve something before it was allowed. I’m sure you’ve even all seen the Mac commercial parody of it. But it’s interesting that in my tests with using Ubuntu on my desktop, that’s where I see this same sort of…

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I like Twitteroo for my Windows laptop, and while I’ve seen some Linux tools, I hadn’t quite gotten around to getting any of them yet. On the other hand, after seeing something on Twitter from Kevin Devin about Tweetbar, I took a look at that, and lo and behold, why bother installing software when I…
