Project Ubuntu is Afoot!





An enterprising young TRiO student has agreed to undertake a run of using a laptop running Ubuntu to meet all his computing needs for the next six months.

I'll be getting regular reports on the qustionnaire below, weekly at first and then monthly, and will post them here:

1. What new tasks did you try to perform with the Ubuntu laptop this week/month, and what was the outcome? Please give as much in the way of detail as possible along the following lines

a) Description of Task
b) Comments on the experience, outcome, issues that arose

2a. What, if anything, has worked better than on a Windows PC?

2b. Have you discovered any capabilities you never experienced on a Windows PC?

3a. What, if anything, works less well than on a Windows PC?

3b. Have you discovered any capabilities you are used to on a Windows PC that are unavailable on Ubuntu?
