Ubuntu 7.10 The Gutsiest of Gibbons
Just a quick post to say that this Friday’s look at free software will be a review of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon or just plain old Ubuntu to us mere mortals. Not just one piece of free software, but an entire free operating system and an office suite.
I’ve been using it for about a month now on an old Sony Vaio laptop at home and have been very pleasantly surprised.
And don’t worry I can’t stand using terminal either and I don’t keep a model penguin on my desk, so if you like free stuff that just works, this could be the one for you.
Also coming between now and New Year are articles about diversity on the web, the Open Document Format, predictions for 2008 (always good for a laugh a couple of years later) an update on the Web Glossary project, a review of a programme called AdSenseLog and a post on rats that detect landmines in Mozambique!
