my laptop harddrive recently crashed and i got a new one and i figured i would give freespire a try. normallyi run ubuntu and i have ubuntu on my desktop computer. their were a few things that drew me to freespire:
\
the whole plugnplay open box doesnt require a whole lot of setting up aspect. i know with ubuntu, i usually take 45 mins setting up codecs and what have you. so this sounded like a plus in my book
the cnr database
based on ubuntu
and curiousity all drew me to give freespire a try and so far i am not having fun. however, i think i remember thinking the same abnout ubuntu when i first started using it a few years back. anyway, here is what my experience has been thus far.
i started running it and quickly remembered why i dont like kde too much so i am waiting for gnome to finish setting up so i can hopefully use that instead. another thing that bothered me was realizing, after trying to install firefox themes, that what i was running was not actually firefox but lbrowser or some ****. lame, but whatever... i will give the CNR app a spin and get firefox. NOPE WRONG! SORRY TRY AGAIN APPARENTLY. for some reason my CNR is merely their for... looks? to trick you? i have tried installing 4 things including firefox... none of them actually installed.
video lags. youtube lags. nothing is more annoying than laggy video. gr. that is going to be a problem for me. ps. saosin was better with anthony green
that is about all right now. i will probably update this later on. i am hoping gnome works out. kde is cool and everything... but i much prefer gnome. if anyone else would like to share freespire 2.0 experiences then please feel freee
