A) Complete fail, with plenty of problems
B) Useless
Also: Cygwin if you are THAT attached to your Windows. But seriously, who wants to be managing something with a GUI under Windows, when you could be SSHing in and changing all the settings.
In my opinion, most of the content is flashy crap. Sometimes it isn't, and is a highly useful feature to a website and some even revolve around it [Refer: youtube.com] but that doesn't mean we all have to jump for the bandwidth heavy options. All of my websites pages don't use any shiny bits at all, and have the bare minimum.
I am on a broadband plan, which can be sometimes slow but pages do load at a decent speed. And most of the time, you're only going to a website to retrieve one piece of information, having things gleaming at me never got me to go deeper into the site.
We are getting to the age where Linux is super-mainstream. How surprised was I when I wandered into DickSmith Electronics to pick up a NIC a few weeks ago and saw that several laptops had Ubuntu installed as the only OS.
This also made me wonder if the tech support would need to have more INT. stats and less Fake Charm. I doubt it though.
Entertaining article, and I'm surprised at the ease of use that Ubuntu provided its user from a clean slate. Although I do remember having a brief moment of trouble with Adobe Flash Player, because if you also install the Gnash SWF viewer, site content goes askew. That's one of Firefox plugin managers two options.
I'm not really surprised that this document had nothing new to say. I think its main intention was to suck in more views of advertisements and sum it all up for the less clued up bunch.
But first and foremost ads.
I guess I'll get around to installing this on my XP laptop then, just for security updates that I've been ignoring. That's what the service packs had going for them, mass deployment of updates.
