Productivity? Really?? April 7, 2009
Posted by classicyuppie in Uncategorized.trackback
So in an effort to become more productive on the road, I’ve installed Ubuntu Linux on the Vista laptop. Since it’s a rather lightweight install and OS, it should do wonders for the battery life.
I’ve taken it to work today and I’ll post how it ran for me today. So far Evolution, the built-in email client and open-source competitor to Outlook, has been wonderful in the UI. The setup of my corporate Gmail account was a bit hoaky, but that was my own fault (I never *can* get those settings right.)
I love the fact that both Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice.org come preinstalled with this distro.
