Zonbuntu: Gutsy install update
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 10/21/2007 - 08:27.
Just a quick update. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 from CD yesterday.
I used the Zonbu supplied external USB CD drive and a Transcend 8GB flash card, putting my Sandisk card with the Zonbu OS on the shelf for safe keeping. It took quite a while to complete the install due primarily to the relatively low speed of the CD drive (24x).
Other than a problem with strange behaviour around my USB/Keyboard when running from the LiveCD, the system installed smoothly. I accepted all the defaults, setting only the timezone.
To my great pleasure, when I rebooted and loaded the full install direct from the flash card, all the drivers worked out of the box.
Zonbu’s Firefox kicks butt against Ubuntu Firefox
Just a quick observation: It’s easy to dismiss how much subtle tweaking and optimization is present in the Zonbu Firefox config. The layout, the icon sizes, the fonts being hand picked to make web pages look as “normal” as possible for someone coming from the Windows world… the colours, the extra plug-ins. Everything.
