I have been hearing about Linux Free O/S's for many years now, and I have
decided to try it out on one of my older P/C's - one that I built from parts
purchased at PC Club which I have replaced with this one (hp Pavillion).
Checked the Ubuntu website and v7.04 will be released on the 19th and have
ordered the CD of it. If it works with my peripherals and current
software - Hasta La Vista Microsoft!
This Windows Vista O/S is turning out to be the final straw, from vanishing
icons to IE7 shutting down randomly without cause to having to get help at
every turn just to make this thing work as advertised (which it still does
not!), is proving to be my undoing, or rather Microsofts undoing. I belong
to a nationwide volunteer organization and we all use our computers
extensively and it gets darned expensive trying to keep up with Billionare
Gates and Company just to do our bit for the everday people we work with.
There is a membership of more than a hundred thousand and if this free
Ubuntu O/S works, I shall make a recommendation to the entire organization
to make the switch.
Good luck to you all, and thank you all for trying to help this retired old
f**t work out the bugs in this Vista O/S, but I believe there are just way
too many "workarounds" that take way too long and are way too complicated to
get this thing to work as advertised . . . Did I mention that it still
doesn't work as advertised?
