"Every six months, I give ubuntu a try. Every six months I find the
experience so frustrating that it lasts about a week before I reinstall
windows.
This time I was more cagey. I decided to dedicate a chunk of virtual space
to Karmic and run with that full screen to see if I can get used to using
linux that way.
The 9.10 i386 disc won't boot in vmware. It locks up in text mode after
about 10 seconds.
This is such an enormous problem that I would have expected to show up in
testing that my trust in canonical just about hit zero. I was considering
Mint, but since that's based on the Ubuntu tree, I can't see how I can go
there.
Windows 7 for the win, then"
