Hi,

Very nice post. I am running Ubuntu and XP on my machine in a dual boot configuration for the past 18 months. I love how Ubuntu work, but have some applications that I still have to use XP every now and then. In regards of Vista, I don't believe how many times it have to crash per day at my friends machine LOOOOOOOOOOOL. Any way a good comparison between Vista & Ubuntu that we have came up with and would be nice to share on here can be found at http://itcomparison.com/OS/...

It covers many features of Ubuntu and how it compare to Vista and show the advantages of each. It can very informative for people planning to get their next OS.

Enjoy,
VMguru007

It could potentially become a risk if somebody finds a hole in Apache or SSH, but othewise, I should be fine.

But might that become a security issue? Aren't you worried since you're really into security and privacy?

For that reason and others, I never (I repeat) NEVER run updates. I have heard too many horror stories of it, and plus, when I have a working system, I never see the need to upgrade.

Hi Paul!

It's great to hear that I'm actually attracting people to my blog, and thanks for the props :)

Just out of curiosity, where did you first find my blog?

In regards to Ubuntu, I absolutely love it. What makes it even better is the community support. Everyone is so friendly there!

Ubuntu is great, it's a shame it's not stable on your system.

By the way, I've been reading your blog for a while now and admiring how well you manage to keep it updated - keep up the good posts.

Hi Matthijs,

I don't actually have any special effects on my Ubuntu. I only configured my hardware. I am running on a dual processor and 64-bit architecture, so as you may know, there is a lot to configure to get things working properly.

Welcome to my site btw :)

I hear this a lot. People totally messing up the ubuntu config to have their precious effects and then updates destroying their system. I use ubuntu in pretty much default standard because it's nice and clean. I need a system that makes me productive. And then it loves you back. Updates never failed me. The distro upgrade from feisty to gutsy was also fine.
