Summary: Hardy Heron Review
Comment: I am writing this review in hopes of receiving feedback. I have not purchased the Amazon package, but have downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 several times. I have used Ubuntu 7.10 with no problems. However with Hardy Heron 8.04, I have not been successful
with upgrading within Ubuntu 7.10 or burning 8.04 onto a DVD-R disk. I have come
to the conclusion that the 8.04 installation is buggy and simply does not work. Obviously,many people have been able to install Hardy Heron 8.04, but far too many have not been able to. There is no such thing as a standard PC. UBUNTU's installation program totally sucks. I will not pay for this. Amazon should not sell it.
Hardy Heron's installation program is unbelievably buggy. I will not allow Canonical
to waste my time anymore. I seriously doubt in Amazons disks are any better.
Hardy Heron BITES!!

Summary: Not the product, just the price...
Comment: Unless you are unaware, this is a free product. If anyone is playing 13 dollars for it, you you are getting so ripped. Even the disc is only like .50-2.00 on most online vendors, but even that is kind of ridiculous because you can download it for free or request the disc for free from the Ubuntu website.
Linux is Open-Sourse people! That means you do not have to pay for it! =)As much as I love Amazon, this is dumb. The vendor is probably giving them to Amazon for next to nothing, or even if they are giving them to Amazon for three dollars a piece, both ends are making a killing whenever they sell one! Free!
Free!

Summary: Great OS
Comment: I have an older laptop and decided to see what a Unix based OS would do on it. Ubuntu is great! Easy to install, it went to the web and updated itself, allowed to to download a lot if excellent free software including a full featured Office suite which reads MS Office files (called Open Office) and more clipart than I imagined to be out there. I find easy to follow instructions on the Web. Am very impressed with it. I am not a guru, am actually a senior citizen on a restricted budget so not having to buy a new computer is a boon. Ubuntu works very much the way Windows does so I just mouse around and find things.

Summary: Next big thing
Comment: Ubuntu is going to out shine Apple in a few years and then Microsoft... I think the young kids should learn Ubuntu now... You are your own administrator.. How cool is that...
