Getting back into it

[~LoKe]

Things have seemed to slow down for me for the time being, so I decided to give Ubuntu another shot (was stuck with Vista on the laptop since I didn't have any Ubuntu CD's).

Coming from Hardy, what are some big changes in Ibex?

Damn it, I hate the part where I have to customize and install everything all over again.

Besides the new gnome version (tabbed nautilus) not that much.

Pulse Audio is way better than in Hardy.

Better support for Wireless support. I spent a lot of time getting my wireless card to work, and it worked sub par at best, and everytime I updated the kernel, it usually stopped working.

With Ibex, everything worked with a clean install, I don't recall having to do any extra tweaking.

I love it!!!

Yeah wireless is so much easier now, my new laptop finally has out of the box support on something besides vista!

Edit: And welcome back!

As usual, two steps forward, one step back.

My experience?
+ I no longer depend on fglrx for my pretty Compiz effects with the Radeon Xpress 1100.
+ Tabbed Nautilus
+ New version of Compiz comes with the wallpaper plugin.
+ New version of Pidgin with better support for MSN.

- For me, the desktop occasionally hangs for periods ranging from 2 seconds to 10 minutes when the CPU is in use.
- VirtualBox uses more CPU than it used to.

I never used 8.04, but what I can tell the color scheme of the menus is different.

i have to dissagree, for the first time, i can actually use my microphone, and once some initial configuring is done, i get sounds in all applications automatically. I remember having some problems in hardy

So you recommend more customization? ohhhhh... rolling release, gotcha.

Man, I get bored when I have nothing to customize .
