Comments on: Live from Hardy Herron http://dague.net/2008/04/27/live-from-hardy-herron/ Various rambling thoughts from my personal corner of the internet Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:19:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Kel http://dague.net/2008/04/27/live-from-hardy-herron/#comment-1032 Kel Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:26:32 +0000 http://dague.net/2008/04/27/live-from-hardy-herron/#comment-1032 I hated Ubuntu 7.10. My wireless card would randomly stop working, forcing me to reboot. I'm using the iwl2965 driver, so I see that gitchy Intel wireless must have been the norm. I did my upgrade through my wireless. I too was afraid my upgrade would fail because of my glitchy wireless. Luckily, I made it through the downloading without a problem. I'm pretty fond of Ubuntu 8.04 myself. Firefox 3 is just awesome. I didn't have any problems with Firefox plugins being incompatible (I only use Facebook and Firebug though...). I've honestly not noticed the changes to Pidgin. I've not done much else with it. The upgrade went flawlessly on my laptop. My desktop machine didn't fare as well. I have to configure Grub manually because of my BIOS and Linux not identifying my hardware the same way.
