Ubuntu Blog Update

  • the penguin-driven life recommends the Dialup Modem Howto on the Ubuntu wiki instead of using the Networking configuration dialogue. Totally agree - each uses a different subsystem to configure and execute the connection, which is very silly! Especially when the most exposed interface uses the less optimal backend.
  • “Seems like everyone is making a Linux Live CD nowadays”… and, like Jamin, it seems like most of them are building on top of the new Ubuntu LiveCD infrastructure!
  • Meanwhile, Rachel describes how to turn the LiveCD into a full install on your hard disk. Some LiveCDs do this out of the box - should Ubuntu’s?
  • Mark notes that you don’t have to join a club to get the best bits of Ubuntu.
  • Ian McIntosh is showering Boston with Ubuntu CDs. Rock on!
  • Elaine tries Ubuntu for the first time, while Ben goes back to OS X for a while: “When compared to Windows, the GNOME GUI is brilliant: multiple desktops, fast drawing of image thumbnails, great usability; but when compared to OS X, GNOME seems like ancient history.”
  • Adam from LugRadio is attempting to put together an Ubuntu jingle, produced entirely on Linux, based on an apparently popular children’s fruit juice jingle. In related news, “I want Ubuntu” has the same number of syllables as “With or Without You”. Move along, nothing to see here.
  • IOL reviews sabdfl’s hair history and latest look, and helps out with a few hints and tips. The Ubuntu developer team concurs: The sideburns need to go, and bleach is definitely an option!
