Ubuntu 6.06 Reviewed

Mark writes "This year has been a huge step forward for Desktop Linux users. First, Fedora Core 5 was released and featured the new Gnome 2.14. Then SUSE 10.1 showed us how well applications could be integrated to make a desktop look great. Now it was time for Ubuntu to release their latest version: 'Dapper Drake.'" Oh yeah, the inital review is good, too. Worth checking out for desktop Linux users.

  1. Re:(OT) Recommend a decent domain registrar? by XanC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I like dyndns.org. I used their free domain service, and then when I started needing to register real domains, I stuck with them. Their target is tech-heads, not morons like the rest of them.

  2. I like fatcow by bdwoolman · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They had (have) a special for new users. Usually they are a pricey but good 99 bucks per year, recently they offered a deal at 66 dollars per year. If you mention me I get a bump for getting you on board. Do so or not. I care not either way (really) I would recommend fatcow anyway. Four years, no probs, but my site is little more than a family photo dump. I like the cow jokes. Don't know why. http://www.fatcow.com/
