SOME Excellent News.... After complaining and generally appearing unappreciative here is some news that can be taken as proof we can defeat MS.
After playing with and committing to Ubuntu 64bit 8.10, I decided to install Kubuntu 8.10 32bit on an older Toshiba Core 2 laptop for my 16 year old daughter and my wife to use. Well - the install was great - no issues, Flash worked, audio worked, Skype worked (No pulseaudio to get in the way). Daughter uses aMSN for chat, Firefox 24 x 7 and digiKam for processing her images and could not careless about it being Linux. It just worked. She has 5 aMSN tabs going flat out and mySpace and streaming music. Need to get a newer webcam - but according to several posts that should be fine. Next challenge is the wife - have installed Thunderbird and moved all her mail stuff. Just need to check the printer works Lexmark X5110. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
