Ubuntu Linux 5.04 + notebook + WiFi = Works!
Onlamp – Apr 22, 2005
I have an old Dell Lattitude L400 with a Cisco Aironet 802. It only has 256MB RAM (1 DIMM slot) on a Pentium 3 running at 700MHz and has been booting and running slowly even after a complete hard disk reformating and reinstalling Windows 2000 Professional. My recollection is that Windows 2000 Professional sunsets at the end of June.
Linux-Notebooks von Hewlett-Packard

Eine CD mit dem angepassten Ubuntu Linux liegt bei. Ubuntu basiert auf. Abgesehen von einigen speziellen Treibern und Anpassungen wird das in Zusammenarbeit mit Hewlett-Packard auf die HP-Notebooks optimierte Linux dem normalen Ubuntu entsprechen, sodass sich dessen Mechanismen zum Aktualisieren der installierten Software und zum Einspielen von Security Fixes nutzen lassen.

Favour us over proprietary software: OSS advocates
ZDNet.com.au – Apr 19, 2005
Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth and Australian open source lawyer Brendan Scott both put the case for a stronger stance on OSS adoption by government after both the Special Minister of State, Eric Abetz and the opposition spokesperson on Communications and Information Technology, Stephen Conroy, advocated competitive neutrality. Shuttleworth told delegates to the Australian Unix User Group’s Open Computing in Government conference there was a global window of opportunity for countries like Australia to embrace open source software. He said open source software adoption could be compared to some countries’ embrace of the Internet in the 1980s and 1990s. Nations that were prepared to take a risk and invest heavily in open source could reap strong economic benefits over the next 10-20 years. They would lead the rest of the world, the former astronaut argued… “Elsewhere in the world people have moved past that; they take procurement for granted. ”
Both open source advocates contended that Australia was well positioned to take advantage of opportunities offered by open source. Shuttleworth told the audience when he founded Ubuntu Linux, he expected to draw talent from the European Union, the United States and developing countries like India. However, “there is great depth to the open source talent base in Australia,” the Ubuntu founder said, adding “Australia is well ahead of India” in this regard. Scott agreed, saying: “Australia is over-represented in per-capita developers of open source software. ”
Special Minister for State, Senator Eric Abetz, said the release of a new open source guide yesterday allowed “open source and proprietary software to operate in a neutral, competitive environment. “The Australian government’s position on open source software is simple, and consistent with its procurement policies and guidelines: agencies use the software that best meets their needs, and delivers best value for money.
Mac Mini Eye for the Linux-Windows Guy
MacdevCenter – Apr 19, 2005
I haven’t used a Mac since 1989. Since then my desktops have been split between various versions of Microsoft Windows and UNIX (Linux these days). Right now I have Microsoft Windows XP Home and Professional and a couple flavors of Linux (Fedora, Mepis, and Ubuntu at the moment) running on my desktop and notebook PCs. I’m pretty satisfied with my Microsoft Windows and Linux boxes. Software like Mac OS X, GarageBand, iPhoto, and iMovie have intrigued me for a while, but not quite enough to spend $1,500 for the iMac G5 or iBook hardware configuration I thought I would need to try these applications. The Mac mini’s lower entry barrier convinced me that the time had come to buy and try a Mac OS X box. I’m convinced that a large percentage of first time Mac buyers buying a Mac mini are Try-ers like me.
