My Ubuntu Experience


I've been using Ubuntu for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm very pleased with it. I will think it twice before going back to Windows. However, Ubuntu is not perfect yet but they are working hard on it and there is already a new released scheduled for April '08 (I got the latest version that was just released a couple of months ago).


So, what things do I like about it? My internet connection got really fast, no kidding. Before it wouldn't go past 100-150 kbps, now it rarely goes below 1000kbps... Another perk: No more system maintenance, Ubuntu does it all by itself... The systems is really stable and plus other good stuff like the system boots up really fast.

Things I'm not quite happy about: Mouse cursor! I usually like my mouse very fast, Ubuntu's cursor is quite slow even after setting it up really fast.... Programs, programs, programs: There are many more options available for Windows than Linux, which makes sense sinces Windows is still the most popular. I really hope to see this improved.

One thing I'm not quite decided whether I like it or not is the way programs are installed. It's not hard it's just very different and I don't have a grip on it yet. I'm talking about the terminal screen and BASH Commands. I'm undecided because it involves knowing what commands to type and when to type them on the other hand the system does it all...so, there it is, that how my experience with Ubuntu is going so far.
