Ubuntu 9.04 [Jaunty Jackalope] First Impressions

I just finished installing the beta of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope alongside my copy of XP. The install and setup was extremely smooth (as usual with Ubuntu) and after 10 minutes, I have a fully working system.

First of all, I'm going to talk about the Appearance.

The default theme of Ubuntu 9.04 is just the average "Human" theme but the Wallpaper has undergone a change. I actually rather like the new default thanks to it's clean look and feel. It's up to the user really though.… Continue

Download of the month (for me)?

Well, the BETA of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is currently downloading [73% - 510 of 297MB (201 kb/s)]. I really can't wait (how sad is that lmao). I'm going to be booting it alongside XP and hopefully onto my brother's computer.

Expect some first impressions in a later blog post.

System 76?

I'm thinking of buying a laptop from the company "System 76" (http://system76.com/index.php). Has anybody heard of them/bought anything from them? I'm not sure how trust worthy they are or how good their service is. The prices certainly seem very cheap and it seems very hassle free (all the Ubuntu drivers for the hardware comes on a disk ready to install :))

New MP3 Player - Samsung YP-Q1

So, it was my birthday on Tuesday 3rd march. I received the gift of a new Samsung YP-Q1 MP3 Player (16GB)

First impressions are that it's a very cabale player - playing videos, music, displaying photos, tuning in to FM radio stations etc.) It also has a very small form factor which fits perfectly into the palm of the hand. The large screen is very sharp and detailed so it's easily possible to watch a whole episode of your favourite TV Program you've downloaded of the BBC iPlayer (Yes, I have do… Continue

Xp: Finally here!

Finally. XP arrived today in a small brown envelope. I of course installed it straight away (took an hour to format the drive of Linux, but oh well). Now things are running smoothly (mostly). I'm currently hunting down the drivers for my sound card. On vista I had the Realtek HD audio manager, so I've set off downloading that again. Also, there's some kind of annoying problem with scrooling in both IE and FF (where it seems 'jumpy', but I'm sure I can iron both of these out.

So, that's me back… Continue

I quite like Evolution mail on Ubuntu. Thunderbird is nice, but Evolution seems to load quicker for me.
