10.04 - at last a version I can really work with - got it running on a Dell D610 really nicely.
Awesome, all our work was worth it if 10.04 gets the mattx seal of approval :)
Put the netbook remix on my girlfriends EEPC 701 the other day.
Really impressed, and she loves it too.
Just gotta upgrade my mothers ubuntu box and we're all go ;-)
I wish I could make the move over to Ubuntu, I really do. I just love Win7 too much to attempt it!
Ok, what three things would you really really miss in Win7?Quote:

1) Same issue here, as we have a load of custom c# apps running on Windows. I'd love to move to Ubuntu but just can't do it.Quote:

3) IIRC there are some open source projects for creating flash apps. However, why are you wanting to use flash still, when HTML5 + Ajax can do pretty much everything flash can do now?
Can't this be done using GTK# and VB.NET in Mono? At least I know you can with C# anyway :)Quote:

I agree with Localzuk there, I personally think Javascript is a better alternative but it's what your comfortable with or prefer I guess.
Agreed with the HTML5/JS comments i loathe flash it does nothing but annoy me on a day to day basis, be it that {insert cr**y software} doesnt work with the new version or that something has come along that requires a version higher than the MSI version I currently have deploying. Id also like to have a day where at some point chrome doesnt pop up and say "Flash player has chrashed"
Im loving 10.04 visually its nicer than 9.10 but rather annoyingly the machine i use every day and i do all my personal coding and web development on decided that after updating from 9.10 gwibber wouldnt work. so ive now got the "me menu" that does naff all cause i cant setup my twitter and facebook accounts in it :(
It manages to boot very quickly on my netbook and gets me into chrome in under a minute whch is nice.
The problem is, the MS implementation of VB.Net and c# is a lot more complete than any of the open source versions. Unless you have a completely *nix network, it seems odd to use a different OS to the one you're supporting.Quote:

I am also using it on one of my desktops at work plus also my laptop.
The main part my sister liked about it was the fact it was a purple theme!!
