I Love Ubuntu!

Feisty Fawn Ubuntu 7.04 seemed way to unstable to me, it was very easy
to break, but that could be due to the distribution being used by Wubi
also. This is actually the longest I've been able to use Ubuntu without
it blowing up in my face after downloading a few additional programs.
This old tech veteran is very impressed.
How I was able to fix my DVD playback issue was by installing the CSS
codec for encrypted DVDs following the instructions in Ubuntu's own
How-To website and installing VLC. I've used VLC on Windows for a long
time and its one of the best video players around. Xine won't work
anymore and Totem is useless for DVDs but it still works for Divx/Xvid
and MPEG video files. I've got a substantial collection of Anime
fansubs which I watch on a regular basis. Anyway, I am really enjoying
my time with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 and I will be recommending it
everyone I know except for the one person who already has a great
non-Windows OS .... Mac OS X!
I still have to keep XP around though because there are some programs I
use which don't have Linux alternatives like Final Fantasy XI which is
an MMORPG and won't work under Wine.
