On my Media Server I usually stick to the LTS versions (but have upgraded earlier for specific features I really want). On my workstations I usually upgrade through the releases... but usually takes...

I am currently running Xubuntu 13.04 and it is a solid release. No huge improvements since the last release, just a bit more polished. After using Unity for a few months, I am glad to be back on Xfce.

It is probably the best Windows release to date, and I don't hate using it when I have to. That being said, it still has most of the fundamental flaws Windows has had for over a decade. The main one...

Win7 is okay... but still has a lot of the same flaws it has had forever.

Nope. Printers never seem to work when you need them to anyway. The printers at my office remind me of the one from Office Space... so I just gave up printing things lol. At work I just carry my...

i3 in a Laptop

Core 0: 57C
Core 1: 46C

Seems a bit hight, bit it is a pretty small laptop and was just watching some videos.

None at the moment actually. I usually have a few (XBMC, etc.), but as of right now I can get what I need from the standard repos.

If you need Windows, go with Win7 if you do not have a touchscreen, and Win8 if you do. Or use Win8 and use some of the patches out there to turn of the Metro stuff and make it work like Win7. Win8...

It is not like they stop you from using the Terminal. I so no harm whatsoever to make things accessible through the UI, for new and experienced Linux users. I am pretty good with the command line and...

Thanks for the suggestion... I put a nightly build of 13.04 on and the Ethernet worked out of the box, and the wireless worked by installing the restricted driver. I could not be happier. The only...

I would also keep it. I have a netbook with almost the same specs... still works great with Xubuntu on it. You could do a bunch of things, such as have it plugged into the TV as a media center...

All MP3s here... they sound good enough to me, and don't care about the licensing crap with MP3s. They work for me, so I will keep using them.

I don't even see the point about arguing about this. To be honest, I don't see X11 being replaced by either in the near future anyways. Both Wayland and Mir are no where near prime time (especially...

MonoDevelop (or VS2012 in Windows) for Asp.net development.

Win8 came pre-installed on my touchscreen laptop... and I can see the point of Metro for touchscreen devices. If the laptop had no touchscreen I would absolutely hate it, but with it I am actually...

I just bought an Asus Vivobook x202e (S200) laptop, and after disabling secure boot and booting Ubuntu 12.10 off of a USB stick I noticed that it is not seeing the network adapters (wired or...

Never.

I did not use the browser, but it is still sad to hear.

They may still have a future though. They could take webkit and still make a really nice browser that has benefits over Chromium. I find...

I don't see the point at all. If you want to run Windows programs, run Windows. It is not a perfect OS, but it works.

I agree through, another Ubuntu based distro is just boring, unless you have a specific purpose. You can pretty much find what you need already though, as there are...

Why would you remaster Xubuntu, just to install blackbox, tint2? You will have a crap load of extra stuff you don't need. You should start with the mini.iso and just install what you need.

I completely agree with the "Rule of 12", not not when it comes to things like music and movies... at least for me. For the most part I just want to find and artist or movie alphabetically, not by...

I also did not find Zim hard to use. It is basically just working with a normal text editor, only it allows you to organize notes. It comes with a sample notebook that explains a few things, and...

Hmmm... not sure how I feel about it. It might be necessary for them to do this to support the phone stuff they are doing. I just don't like them deviating so far from the standard Linux desktop...

++ Zim notes. I also keep it in my dropbox so I have access to it on all my PCs, and always synced.

It is a great applications as you can store your notes in a hierarchy, so it makes it easy to...
