Now along with Gutsy Gibbon
Posted by siegem on March 16, 2008
It has been some time that I didn’t run linux in my desktop at home. Since I changed my desktop (when my old one burn the motherbord up), I haven’t touched on a linux system (where I work, we use windows).
These days, I was talking about some linux distros at work and wanted to install it again at home.
After some problems to install my old Slackware 10.2 and the found the same problems with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, I managed to download a new distro version and the chosen one was the Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon” (this link goes to the “Introducing the Gutsy Gibbon” by Mark Shuttleworth).
I never wanted to change from Slackware, but this version of Ubuntu is very cool and simplify some of the manual things I have ever done with my old distro. Like the installation of new software and a very nice updater that points to me the new security and recommended patches.
In the start I had a problem with a slow connection on the new os, but after some research found that the resolv.conf file had a not valid dns server and that made the system too slow to resolv the addresses I wanted to access. (If this information comes in hand for someone with the same problem)
Besides the problem, the system is very nice and simple to use. But I still want to install slackware, along with ubuntu, ofcourse.
Oops, I forgot. In this other link you can download the Ubuntu 7.10 “Gutsy Gibbon”, if you want.
