Hi All,
I am seriously considering installing Ubuntu 7.10 onto my laptop.
I had a bootable version of 7.04 on Cd and tried it and quite liked it.
However I have a few questions which I hope someone (ClubMan, perhaps?) may be able to answer.
Is it necessary to know Unix/Linux commands? It seems to be more geared to use them rather than wizards/menus to activate something...
Does 7.10 support WPA security on wifi networks? The version of 7.04 I have only included WEP which is about as secure as a wet paper bag.
Regarding media, how compliant is it with synch software for ipods,zen etc.?
I realise there is and will be more tweaking to get it running the way you need for your personal use but that the benefit is a stable platform. Do I need to be a Unix head to get to this point ?
I'm getting pretty fed up with XP and want to share the wealth out there.
Any opinions ?
