Started using Ubuntu!
Sunday, October 5th, 2008
It’s been almost two months since I started using Ubuntu on day-to-day basis. Though I had Ubuntu 6.x installed on my computer from early 2007, I just never used to boot into it, but just used to upgrade to the latest version.
But, from the past two months, I have started using Ubuntu everyday and I’m pretty happy with it’s performance. But I still continue using Windows XP everyday because windows is my productivity corner which I use to design themes and templates with Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3. I tried to use those two softwares in Ubuntu via Wine, but had no good luck and they didn’t run like in windows. Also, I still use windows to play games whilst I am free.
Now, myself I’ve considered Ubuntu as my learning curve. I would have not started using Ubuntu if 8.04 would’ve not supported my ZTE EVDO modem properly. In the earlier version of Ubuntu, like 7.04 and 7.10, I had to modprobe my device once in everytime I boot into Ubuntu and it was not comfortable for me. And also, the device was soon unrecognized and my internet connection was terminating with no good reasons. It was totally bad for me, who always stay online whenever I switch on my PC. And also, the earlier version didn’t allow me to connect my ZTE EVDO to an USB hub, which was another reason.
