Boring Ubuntu Goodness.

You know what?

Ubuntu is becoming a boring platform.

It's stable. Mostly.

For the most part, a month or two after the release most of the major niggles are gone and so are most of the minor ones.

It's scary!

This is starting to feel something like the kind of major OS release that is expected to come from a major corporation listed on the NASDAC (NASCAR?) or NYSE or some other pretend bourse. It works. Rather well. It works rather better than the 'other' offering which is so very expensive and costly. And it's neither expensive or costly.

If you're an end-user, consider working harder for a moment to understand how it works and how much you can save the environment and your pocket by changing OS.

If you're a corporate boss, consider the above - but increase that cost of change by the factor of the number of employees who would need training to make the change.


There is much talk of being 'greener', much talk of saving the planet.

Start with your OS.

Save the planet. Save yourself. The easiest way.

Cheers!! T.

PS Reverend Kris Korda previously suggested that the best way to save the planet was to kill yourself. While the Reverend was rather close to the best solution, this one is likely to have a higher uptake than the one the Reverend suggested and therefore a bigger effect. On the other hand, the one which was suggested about the second coming sounds like rather a good plan. T.
