Brand New Xubuntu on Damn Old Notebook

,----[ Quote ]
| Today I installed a brand new sparkling Xubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, on my damn 
| old crappy notebook. Additionally, not in a dual boot mode, but on the entire 
| disk, getting rid of the Windows XP OEM pre-installed permanently for good. I 
| can proudly say that Xubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron has finally landed in my life.

Ubuntu: A Window to Open-Source

,----[ Quote ]
| Here’s some motivation to get you moving; a screenshot of the beautiful 
| Ubuntu.  Its visual effects are actually somewhat reminiscent of those of Mac 
| OS X’s - speaking of which, is actually based on Linux FreeBSD, another 
| UNIX-like operating system.  Take that.

Compiz is the Most Important Thing to Ever Happen to Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| If the Linux community wants to wipe Windows and Mac out of the OS business
| all they need to do in focus all of their collective efforts on developing
| Compiz. With the combine intelligence of hundreds of thousands of nerds we
| could develop the most pimped out windows management system known to mankind.
| The kids don’t want stability, they want an OS w/ rims that spin.

ompiz is Cool – and Why That Matters

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most vexed questions within the open source world is when, if
| ever, GNU/Linux will take off on the desktop. Strangely, this isn't really
| about capabilities: as someone who has Ubuntu running on both of his main
| systems, I can attest to the fact that GNU/Linux is not just usable, it's a
| downright pleasure to use. In fact, I constantly marvel at how transparent
| open source has become: most of the time I'm simply not aware that I'm using
| it – it just works.      
|
| This raises the interesting question: so what's missing? What more does open
| source need to do in order to capture the attention of the general user? I  
| think the answer can be found on this YouTube video.
