[原创]Crazy for Ubuntu

#1

帖子 CaoHua » 2008-05-11 4:34

Since Apr 22, when Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was released, I have been working on that for nearly 20 days.

It was really a long time that I had not used any Linux system. The last Linux system I had used was Red Hat 9, but the X windows was not able to be started on my old computer, and the enhanced mode of the hard disk (there are two IDE hard disks in my old computer) could not be used under Red Hat 9. I had tried some solutions, but failed, and then, I had not touched Linux for several years.

Actually, since last year, I noticed that my old computer was really too slow, and I planned to get a laptop. I thought over and over, finally, I decided to buy a HP DV2745, the top one of DV2700 series, which might be the most suitable type, considering both the performance/function and the cost.

Recently, especially after getting some so called "technical support" from several IT guys, I do not think IT guys will give me good impressions, although I have a master degree of Software Engineering, and I am also a certificated software engineer (senior programmer). I do not understand why IT guys are not willing to give others the real explanation of the technical problem, and they always would like to say something not clear or even lie to us. The same thing occured when I bought my laptop. I asked the guy there, who seemed like a technical supporter, if I could install two operation systems. He replied surely and without any delay, "NO". He said only Windows Vista was able to be installed on my laptop, neither Linux nor Windows XP could be used.

However, I really wanted to try Linux as I had not touched it for such a long time. So I checked through Internet, and it seems Ubuntu is entirely free and easy for use. So, I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 and installed it. Out of my expection, the whole process was so smooth, and no driver was needed, video, audio, wlan worked very well. So, for me, the reputation of IT guys became poorer thereafter.

Eh, it seems I have talked too much about IT guys, back to Ubuntu.

Just a few days after I installed Ubuntu 7.10, I saw from Ubuntu home page that Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was being to be released. Thus, I waited and waited. From the Chinese Ubuntu forum, I knew many friends were waiting too.

On Apr 22, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS was released, I downloaded the ISO file and burned a CD. The day after, when I went home back from the office, I installed it on my laptop, replaced the old Ubuntu 7.10. After the system installation, I also had many softwares installed, and had the system patched and upgraded from time to time. Till now, it should be a "perfect like" Linux operation system, except for Chinese inputting which forces me to type this essay in English.

Per my opinion, Linux may be much better than Windows. Let's take Ubuntu as an example: it requires less hard disk space, lower hardwares, but provides similar function as Windows, even more or better. It can work so well on my old computer now, which is really amazing. Needless to say other functions, just the "Desktop Effects Settings", gives such an extraordinary experience. I belive, you use it more, and you will like it more.

So, friends, do not wait, enjoy Ubuntu now. :-)

谢谢楼上二位的回复,呵呵,声明一下,偶是地地道道的中国人。

可能是我刚刚开始用Ubuntu,许多东东还不是很了解。我其实是可以用中文输入的。我的意思是没有在Windows下面的那些输入法,比如Google 拼音、或紫光那么方便。单纯说中文字的输入,还是非常容易,没有问题,但是对词汇和句子的支持,可能是我还没摸索出这个功能,就感觉没有Windows下面那些输入法顺手了。如果打很长的东东,要一个字一个字的输入,有点儿累。所以,我才偷懒用英文的,不好意思…… :oops:

抽空会再学习一下关于中文输入的东东的,也请多多指教,呵呵……

打英文会方便些吗?那么多字母。不过linux下的中文输入法确实没用win下的好用倒是真的,特别是对拼音用户。
ps:把自己名字作为头像可不好啊,俺可是看的懂篆字的哦 :D

鄙视一下用英文发帖的朋友!!
欺负俺是中国人,不懂英文,哼!老外欺负我不懂英文,自己人也欺负我不懂英文。

为何热衷于搞发行版的多,搞应用程序开发的少?Linux最多余的就是各种发行版,最缺的就是应用程序,特别是行业应用程序。
