Ubuntu has just released the latest version and according to founder Mark Shuttleworth, the best release of Ubuntu yet. My BenQ laptop has been running Ubuntu 7.04 and I’ve always done a fresh install with each release. This time I didn’t want to do that so I went with the built in upgrade in the update manager. Unfortunately I didn’t have any success on my first attempt at the upgrade an error during the upgrade related to not accessing files in the repository correctly. Not sure if this is a common issue of just something to do with my machine.

Although Linux has a huge following for the diehard linux user, I personally don’t know anyone who uses it for a day to day operating system. I love the Linux movement and look forward to when Linux is truly a desktop ready operating system for anyone other than advanced users. I know there are going to be people who say I’m wrong, however I’m only basing my opinion on my own experiences and of those people I know.

Until that day, my MacBook Pro is my best friend.
