Re: [Staffslug] Ubuntu 9.04 Install - Yes or No

Hi All, I have installed Ubuntu 9.04, this was done as a fresh install as the Upgrade process messed up Gnome, I managed to rescue my files though. The only other problem I had was that my Graphics cards proprietary driver was not found straight away, however after opening system -> adminstration -> Hardware Drivers and it showing nothing then rebooting it magically appeared :-) Everything else went smoothly. Wireless worked with no messing. I install the build essential and ubuntu restricted extras no probs and apache with mod php mysql and python for all worked fine. I say give it a go but probably best 2 dual boot like kevan mentioned.

I had a very early version Deb 5 running months and months ago. It was fine back then but I cannot be doing with that Ice Weasel thing instead of Firefox. I know they are the same thing but it jsut bugs me. However, Deb 5 = great distro. Ubuntu 9.04 ..... I have heard a few people mention some broken bits. Nothing that somebody competent can't put right but broken nevertheless :-( They shouldn't be but no, I can't remember what they were, sorry. So, what would I do? Dual boot. Run Ubuntu for a while to make sure it works for me and then, 'if' I was happy with it I'd have to make the decision of which distro to keep and which to ditch :-) -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk <mailto:Staffslug@staffslug.org.uk> h... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
