Is Linux Ready for Prime Time?
My problems with the CloudBook last weekend had me wondering, is there something wrong with me or something wrong with the CloudBook or, maybe, is there something wrong with Linux itself?
Last night, I tried installing Ubuntu 7.1 on my laptop, a two year old ThinkPad z60m with 1GB of RAM and a 40GB hard drive. I was really excited to get my first taste of Ubuntu, after having used RedHat a little bit back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
The install of Ubuntu went smoothly enough, and the system seemed to detect all my hardware, from the sound card right up to the wireless card. However, the problems started almost immediately.
