For those that are interested in Ubuntu Linux OS, Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" is now available for download. It seems that 8.04 is a large update compared to Gutsy Gibbon (previous Ubuntu release). You can download Ubuntu 8.04 at Ubuntu's website: www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadI'll be downloading this and testing it out under VMware. |

I've been planning to use this in that computer I'm gonna build whenever I save enough money (which should be soon). As predicted I didn't need an OS before they released the next version XD I'm interested in what you think of this.

Well, after running Ubuntu 8.04 for a little while on my older Pentium III laptop, I can safely say that Hardy Heron is a worthy Ubuntu update. While most of the core remains the same, the Ubuntu developers have done a bit of work to make Ubuntu easier to use for those that are not experienced Linux users. I posted a screenshot of Ubuntu 8.04 in action below:  On a off-note, Terminal Server Client on Ubuntu works well for remotely controlling Windows computers. Makes it convenient for me to control my main PC & Media PC from anywhere in the house.  Although still not quite as easy as using Windows (for mainstream users), Ubuntu is getting close with each major update.  |

Unfortunately, I haven't heard much about Yellow Dog Linux, except that it's one of the few Linux OS' that can run on PS3. Are you planning on trying it out on your PS3?

yeah, just for the curiosity
EDIT: Installed, i like it, you can run major applications and stuff (including other systems Emus), only bad things:
-No 3d Acceleration (they say they are working on it)
-No full memory support (only 226 mb out of the 512 of the ps3 system)
-You MUST have a keyboard and a mouse (you can use the Dualshock 3 but meh.... is slow)
lol, mario on the ps3, wooot! <3

I'll have to try this out once I get a PS3, now that MGS4 is out. |
