Links of Linux
Hey, if I wanted something that just worked out of the box, I’d have got another Mac.
Actually, I tried to get another Mac, just couldn’t justify the finances when I added in the price of a full version of Windows to run all my biz software.
Point is, Linux, even a flavour as refined as Ubuntu, does not work straight “out of the box”, especially on a new generation laptop. Takes a bit of effort, but I’m hoping it will be worth it.
HUGE thanks to everyone linked below for their help in getting me set up and rocking. She’s looking better all the time, no major glitches, response is fantastic (finally feels like a new computer!).
I’m just waiting for the first client to recognize what I’m running… guaranteed sale!

Ubuntu Feisty users: Improve the look of your fonts in 2 minutes flat by installing a few packages. The font change is very noticeable in Firefox and the terminal. If you want to get technical about it, the process detailed in the Ubuntu Forums improves Feisty’s subpixel rendering. After you complete the steps, you will need to restart your open apps in order to see the difference. The lorem ipsum screenshot, shows the impressive result.
