Installed Jaunty

Posted By on April 27, 2009

  • The laptop upgrade was a simple incremental upgrade. Nothing earthshaking, despite trying both Gnome and KDE4. I’m still using XFCE.
  • The netbook, however, is quite wonderful. I’m now using the [http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr Netbook Remix| and the UI is quite good for small devices. Of course, I need to tweak the crap out of the base install (but that has more to do with me than anything else) and I need to post my install docs (including the old minimal install) but in general I’m quite happy.
  • The one criticism I have, however, is that it created a swap drive which was too small to use for hibernation. This makes sense, as if it created a large enough one for hibernation, there wouldn’t be enough space for the install. At that point, however, with a gig of RAM, it’s not really worth even bothering to create it, and so I’ll be removing it to make some more space.
