- weizbox, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4'One of the killer features of Ubuntu is that the installation media is also a "live CD." '
lol... I thought LiveCDs were kinda the norm by now. Ubuntu def has some other killer features that could have been mentioned.. don't hype the thing everyone else has ;)
'If you're running a dual-boot system, you can read and now write to the Windows New Technology File System directly.'
'Now'? 'Now', like... year and years ago?
'Canonical also provides first-class update support for Ubuntu, so you never need to fear that clicking for updates is going to break your current system'
Never? I don't think so...
One example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-ser ...
Overall a pretty good article except for those few spots... but I'm also acknowledge I can be pretty critical :) - weizbox, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3If so... why would he mention it as a 'killer feature' of Ubuntu instead of a feature of most Linux distros?
In the paragraph right before he's comparing Ubuntu and Debain... so he's establishing the differences in Linux distros, not between Linux and Win/OSX . I think this somehow gives the impression that it's a Ubuntu-only feature, which is quite misleading. - Planets, on 04/16/2008, -0/+2"The install is even smart enough to help you resize an existing Windows partition (even Vista!)"
What does Vista have to do with resizing partitions in Ubuntu? - mazza558, on 04/15/2008, -3/+3I think it's comparing Ubuntu directly with Windows/Mac OSX (neither offer a LiveCD of their own)
- ChuqAU, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1I like how they expand NTFS .. as if "New Technology File System" makes it any easier for anyone who doesn't know what NTFS is..
- KhaaL, on 04/15/2008, -2/+1Didn't read the article, but going to give my opinion on this since I've been using hardy since alpha 5:
It works really nice, even better than gutsy. Pulseaudio was problematic for me at first but they've ironed out the last bugs with amaroks xine engine. OpenOffice 2.4 has really nice fonts, and their twin-monitor utility is magic. All of this has been working flawlessly as a 64-bit OS.
There's lots more improvements that have already been covered before. If you haven't tried Ubuntu or hardy yet, now is the time!
