Will you be heading OS soon? I'm excited to hear that initial testing and hands on with 9.04 are positive. I've been running 8.10 for the past couple of months and I can't believe the ease of install, stability and richness of features - not to mention that it's all free. The need to go under the hood and fiddle (as in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance") is becoming less and less. Why people would choose to run Windoze nowadays - especially on a home/personal machine is beyond me. Perhaps these people have not yet seen the "light". Speaking of going under the hood... compiling kernels hey! You're a more courageous man than me mate! R Nick,

Windows XP runs like a dog on this machine, but not Ubuntu). The wireless networktivity even set up without much fuss (System->Administration->Harware Drivers). I am running VMWare Server 2 on it, so if I require Windows, I start it as a virtual machine and only run the particular app I require (I use some Windows based network analysis tools for work). I was given a wireless usb network dongle for the '3' network last week - I plugged it in and the connection automatically set itself up. This is a dream!! I've just loaded Vantage Analyser for a job at work (it allows you to see the goings on in a Java VM or .Net VM - memory leaks, hung threads etc.) and the nice thing is that it is a Java app and can use MySQL - I can analyse an app server running on any platform - if I ran this on Windows on my laptop it would run like a pig in a pony race. Next, I have to get my act together and compile a custom kernel. Aaaah, geek heaven. I have been running 9.04 beta on my laptop (dell latitude D610) for the last two weeks and it’s fantastic.
