Ubuntu Hardy Heron - Comments Page 2

Not being a windows officianado I had to accept Windows as M$ decided I should, NO Defraging, all your basic needs require a payment!
I have used Ubuntu for eighteen months now, and not that I have learnt any-more, but I can use Ubuntu just as well as Windows XP, it has cost nothing and as far as I am concerned it works better.
I have been saying that I would turn to Linux, I tried several OS's, Suse, Redhat, read about Ubuntu on the net, in for a penny and all that downloaded it, and ran it to see what it was like, and killed windows!
finding out how to turn on a computer at retirement, I am not the brightest light in the street, saw the end of 95 and 98, used XP, ubuntu does every thing that they did for me, if not gave me more!

Ubuntu's latest release is awesome and the drivers provided are pretty good.

I have just upgrade to Hardy Heron on my Acer Aspire 4315 laptop [from Gusty 7.02]sadly Evolution Mail is no longer active. It will not Send and Receive. Can you advise what I should do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Are you sure the in/out mail servers are set correctly? Does Thunderbird work?

I felt the same way: when MS released Vista, I decided it was time to jump ship. I dual-booted Ubuntu and XP for a few months, but the constant improvements to Ubuntu and Linux in general have made Windows, at least for me, unnecessary. Even in my office. We're slowly transitioning from running XP on each machine to running Ubuntu thin clients. It's great!

Hello, I just want to say that ubuntu its great as a desktop, only drawback its it cant run some software I use on a daily basis, then I have a dual boot box :)

Now using Ubuntu 8.04 and I have been Windows free for almost a year. I'll NEVER pay for an operating system again.
