An update on the wife’s computer – Ubuntu does it again
ZDNet
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not averse to fiddling in the name of free (as in both beer and speech), but when it comes down to it, I just want something that satisfies as many requirements as possible out of the box. It’s one thing to fiddle with a computer at home; it’s quite another to fiddle with 30 computers in a lab. I briefly flirted with the idea of just giving her Vista Business (an upgrade to Home Premium, at least), but then I couldn’t resist pulling out the Ubuntu CD I had used for my oldest son’s computer last night. 45 minutes later, Ubuntu was installed and updates were flying down. A quick restart and Ubuntu was telling me that proprietary drivers were available for a Broadcom wireless card. Enable the drivers, restart, and presto! Ubuntu did it again. Everything just worked.

It’s official – my wife likes Ubuntu, too
ZDNet Blogs
She hates computers in general and change in particular, using computers for simple communication, Internet research, and basic productivity tasks. She didn’t like Fedora or OpenSUSE during her brief sojourn with each over the last few days. So when I tossed on Ubuntu (even after I found that the latest beta worked like a champ on her finicky laptop), I didn’t hold out a lot of hope. Guess what she told me this afternoon, though? “I really like Ubuntu…it’s very intuitive and I was able to do everything I needed to do today with no problem. Everything seems to be faster, too. You can leave this one on my computer. ” This is high praise indeed from a neo-Luddite who finds nothing intuitive about computers.
