Ubuntu Hardy Heron steps in to make Linux a proper desktop alternative to Windows
I am going to risk sounding like a fan boy for the sake of being a fan boy in the craze for Ubuntu but here goes nothing! My experience with my new Hardy Heron installation just keeps on getting better and better.
We can hate the Ubuntu boss Mark Shuttleworth for being a rich mogul all we want but the more time goes by the more I think he deserves more! Ubuntu is really a crafty and brilliant piece of work. Switching my main desktop over to Ubuntu was a cinch. I backed up my windows documents and email and then shifted them into another windows partition. Then I let Ubuntu format the old windows drive which is a 160GB drive for it’s purposes. I had a slight grub issue at boot time where it disappeared because I didn’t have my boot sequence correct, but a quick BIOS tweak sorted that out double time.
