Any Ubuntu users here?
 

Any cool software I should know about? Any words of advice?

Just installed Ubuntu 9.04 today on my new laptop. Fucking awesome compared to the old machine and older versions of Ubuntu. Love this new one!

Check out http://www.getdeb.net/ for nice apps.

I'm a big fan of K, so I prefer Kubuntu...

Advice:

Make sure you've got the PAE kernel module installed if you have >4GB memory.
Get Wine setup to run your win32 apps.

I'm still on 8.04, I hate upgrading and I can't be bothered :2 cents:

Mint 7 works brilliantly out of the box, I must say.

Cool Link. Thanks for that :thumbsup

cool thats great grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I will install it on my laptop when I get one.

I installed it on my coffee maker so i can do an 'uptime' once in a while

I'm also running Kubuntu.

As for interesting applications, I dunno really. Sun xVM VirtualBox is one of my faves I guess..

Fedora here. :)

I love ubuntu.. but only use it on a couple of my machine at home.

i aggregate some ubuntu rss feeds here you may find of some use

I have the Netbook Remix installed on one of the little Dell netbooks I've picked up recently.

runnin 9.0.4 x64 version and it rocks! I have everything I need and I love it!

No, I'm an adult running an actual business so of course I don't use Ubuntu.

Uhhh.. lol?

It's a worthwhile upgrade

Use it, love it... so far it does everything I need, work wise or personal. The os hasn't crashed on me yet, no real issues of any kind. It's a bit slower on older machines, well video is, I haven't tried it on a more updated machine. When my main Windows PC crashes, I will swap it out with ubuntu and never look back.

I also use it and love it. What really sold us on Ubuntu was it found and configured the wireless card on the Dell lappy. And we did absalutely nothing to help. With Fedora, it was a pain in the ass. Another pleasant superise was getting our Verizon card to work. It was totally painless.

I love Ubuntu.
