    Gutsy in the news, But....

    ....its not exactly good news:
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10...y_gibbon_ipv6/

    When I upgraded I when for the change to 64bit... only problem I had was the boot splash screen which I disabled with the nosplash kernel option in grub... just hate seeing bad press about Ubuntu.

    That same author slated the Feisty release too. If you check their articles he/she just does moaning and bitching with very little else.

    Take no notice of it, it's a rubbish site anyway. Just because a few people are having troubles does not make gutsy bad.
    Sick of cd'ing to a folder? sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal Log out then back in. Right click in the folder, select Open in terminal
    Need to compile something? sudo apt-get install build-essential

    Actually, what they've written is true. I've not upgraded, but someone I know had these exact issues and was most unhappy with the situation!

    Not every negative comment made about Ubuntu in the press is "bitching". I'm especially fed up of reading that every critical commentator is some kind of "Microsoft shill", whatever that is.

    They use the suport forums to judge how good an Ubuntu release is? That's just stupid. These are support forums, the only people posting here (other than in the community boards) are people who have had problems and are looking for support. The people who are using it without any trouble at all aren't even here unless they feel the need to post something on the testimonials board or help those who are having problems.

    Interestingly, one of the forum links in the article produces a "sorry no results found" forum search.

    The chances of people having the issues given in the article is very slim, also there is no doubt that even MS has chances where hardware may not work whereas it does on Linux. The thing is that no OS is perfect but Gutsy is well developed.
    Think carefully before executing commands containing "rm", especially "sudo rm -rf ", if you require more information concerning this matter, read this.
    I am an experimenter, give me the most stable OS and I can make it unstable in a few hours.

    That's just an issue with the forum software. You can't link to a list of vBulletin search results; the link expires after a few minutes. No dodgy goings-on!

    Would just like to say I have a Verizon Online Dsl Modem, other than them telling me it is not supported on what's that called again? It has worked fine since I installed tribe 5.
