Windows 7 is likely-if Linux does not sit up- to set it back another 20 years or so. <br />I hope they fix the buggs and give beginners a smoother ride asap.Seeraj Muneerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417289576442689191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426333.post-1953684320177750532009-11-05T13:18:41.314-05:002009-11-05T13:18:41.314-05:00While the release is less than a week, there is a ...While the release is less than a week, there is a lot of perception that when it is released, it should be pretty much working and less bug-fixing "Ooops, we missed that" going on.<br /><br />I'm sure there's going to be people arguing this is partially their short release schedule to blame.<br /><br />In a way, Ubuntu has become one of the flagships of Linux and because of this popularity they are under heavier scrutiny. Most Linux users understand that anything grabbed on release day is likely to be buggy. Unfortunately, newcomers and interested people aren't going to know that.<br /><br />It is just unfortunate since Linux has made such strides against Windows for market share that now, when Windows 7 is out and the competition is heating up, that there would be this issue forcing Linux to hesitate and fix before continuing forward.<br /><br />I've heard that one issue lies with the X server and something to do with nVidia and ATI. Funny, though, that they (nVidia at least) was also one of the leading culprits in Vista's driver fiasco in the beginning.<br /><br />The difference, though, is that I absolutely believe that in about a month's time things will be fixed and running smooth enough for newbies.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314292724948210056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426333.post-21825516722055530862009-11-05T12:36:08.171-05:002009-11-05T12:36:08.171-05:00Oops, sorry man.

What people should know is that karmic really has a lot of new things that are definitely bound to cause some ups and downs here and there.<br /><br />Ubuntu Karmic has really impressed me. I am currently dual booting it with XP and I have had no problems.<br /><br />The release is less than a week old and people want it to be as stable as what?!! <br /><br />That is why updates are being rolled out feverishly to correct the bugs that are identified and reported. What I have realized is that some people for whatever reason just don't like Ubuntu. <br /><br />Yes Ubuntu contains Mono, but I am yet to see one single Linux desktop distro that has achieved what Ubuntu has done in five years. <br /><br />There is no one that will use Linux except they would have heard about Ubuntu before. That alone is an achievement. <br /><br />Ubuntu has made remarkable strides in making Linux usable for everyday humans like me. As one of my readers said, even presentation is itself contribution. Ubuntu has presented Linux to the masses on a scale that is unrivaled and this does not sit well with its detractors. <br /><br />Thus they seek all means to throw dust into the eyes of people about Ubuntu.<br /><br />If you don't want to have any problem, don't rush to upgrade. Wait for about a month after release to make sure all the major bugs have been identified and fixed. <br /><br />You can also stick with the LTS, which is more stable and reliable. Bleeding edge releases come with a price. If you upgrade to them, be prepared to suffer some inconveniences.<br /><br />Regards.Seeraj Muneerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417289576442689191noreply@blogger.com
