Star Ubuntu 8.04 Review Roundup
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 28th Apr 2008 18:01 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Last week, the Ubuntu guys released Ubuntu 8.04, named "Hardy Heron". Instead of posting 24408 news items pointing to different reviews of this new Ubuntu release from all over the world, we decided to collect a few of them over the weekend and present them all in one gulp. I have a feeling some of you might like not seeing three Ubuntu items every day.

It's not that people are dumb, or computers are hard. It's that people lack common sense and the ability to think things through logically. That, and they are too lazy to experiment or explore.


I don't agree. If the system lumps all the files into an anamorphic mess we call a filesystem and then we expect a person to realise that the computer doesn't remember the files we just told it to save when you run another program, we should be blaming the system not the user.

Of course the solution to this is to rewrite all the applications using file selector that is not stupid.

We can't really train 1 billion people how to navigate a hierarchical file system by using pretty icons. Much easier if the system kept track of the files for the user.
