Windows or Ubuntu

[swift240]

Having used Winodws both 2000 and XP and Ubuntu 7.10 I have come ot the conclusion that Winodws is top but Ubunut is coming up fast.
Now with Ubuntu 8.04 out I am seriously thinking of going Ubuntu and staying there.
I may have a 2nd HD for Win2000 though.

But hey you good Amiga people out there what would you prefer Windows or Ubuntu/Linux of some type?

As the days go bye I am getting more and more impressed with Ubuntu as a free OS and not in any way connnected to MS.

To be honest if Ubuntu would have more TV card drivers I would go total Ubuntu and leave Windows out completely.

I have downloaded the ISO of dreamlinux.
Tried the CD and wow the dock bar is a smart piece of work.
I am going to install it proper later tonight.

So far I have put a MPG4 video in it playes perfectly, MP3 perfectly this is from the CD as it stands.

I am impressed with dreamlinux so far.


It is a lot smarter than Ubuntu 7.10.
But then again I like smart apperance on any OS.

Well I dumped XP for Ubuntu 7.10 then upgraded to 8.04 it does all what I want it to do.
No nags, no anti virus, no spyware, no firewall (behind a router)

Faster more memory left over.

I am still messing around with the configuration its really good, I can do more with this than XP.
One of the better things is the display bars top and bottom of the screen I can have them any size I want, XP you can have either small or large and thats it.
Ubuntu 8.04 is as it stands now better than XP for what it can do.

When I load XP in it will take a time for all to get up and running, but Ubuntu it don't a few seconds and thats it ready to roll.

And the choice I get from the Add/Remove is very god indeed not to mention the Synaptics manager.
And its all FREE you don't pay a huge wedge to get it like Windows.

Well to be honest I only went with XP because I did not know about Linux and its many OS types.

Now I see there are many Linux type OS out there DreamLinux is another nice one.

But my big thing is that its FREE and legal Ok dont get me wrong not JUST because its free but lets face it Linux these days is pretty damned good, and the software is also, like OpenOffice 2.4

I did not fully realize just how good Ubuntu is, I am still finding out about it.

Bye bye Microsoft, its time for you to go.
