[...] It got worse; I doubt it’ll get better Published January 24, 2009 Hardware , Linux It’s been a long time since I mentioned the unfortunate computer we have at work, and it’s futile battle with Windows.

I’ll have to take a look sometime, although I admit I’m somewhat prejudiced against Xubuntu because it has gotten so fat. The shift to Gnome over the past year still rankles me.

So I might not be a fair critic, but I’ll do my best.

Off-topic in relation to your last post but since I know you are an advocate of Xubuntu, I would like your thoughts on the latest 7.10 release.

I download the beta earlier this morning and was quite surprised to see that they still haven’t fixed the terminal crashing and taking you back to the log-in and also that nothing had been done to improve the menu editing process.

In fact, other than the fonts seem to be a bit prettier, unless I’m missing something that only an install might show, I can see no reason at all to upgrade. None.

I did notice that they had a “places” in the top panel which I hoped meant that local a network could be seen in Thunar but unless I see on the Ubuntu forums where this is indeed what it means, I’ll stick with LinNeighborhood and MC to do my simple home networking. “Places” could be another “menu editor”, you know.
