Xubuntu Gutsy Herd 5 -- first impressions
I downloaded and burned the Xubuntu Gutsy Herd 5 live CD and loaded it up. I realize that this is beta and not all the bugs are worked out, and with that criterion, things are working very well. But I'm left wondering "Why?"
Never mind that the CD didn't autodetect my correct monitor resolution -- in fact, everything was set up for some monster-sized display. I was able to make the icons themselves, and the icon and menu type, as big as the old Xubuntu through Xfce setup. But in the applications (which do have a new, darkish window -- not an improvement, just different), those menus stayed small no matter what I did. I'm no Xfce expert, and I'm probably missing something, but I hope hardware detection improves before this thing goes gold.
And the Xubuntu bugs that beset my Xubuntu 7.04 installation?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources.
