Ubuntu

I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux on my netbook for the past couple of days and I’m quite pleased with the whole experience, except for the initial issues (I just won’t trust the auto-update).Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop environment by default with a little bit of tweaking. Gnome UI designers have a sense of aesthetic cognizance to their designs. I’ve always appreciated the crisp icons and the polished dialogs. I’ve been known to throw around the word stunning, quite generously, while describing Gnome....

I’ve been exclusively using Meego on my netbook and I was moderately happy with what it provided. So I did what any self-respecting hacker would do - I tried to make it better. Well, we all know how that usually ends. I managed to uninstall every single kernel in the system and rendered the system unbootable. Taking this as an opportunity I decided to try a grown-up OS. Enter Ubuntu into the picture....
