Well the title explains it all. After using my IBM Thinkpad R50e for almost 3.7 years after
- 10 – 20 times of complete crash downs.
- Backing up and recovering every time.
- Slow system which wouldn’t allow me to use Eclipse
or Dreamweaver or run my fav coldfusion server CF8/Railo 3.
- Upgrading my Ram to max 2 gb.
I don’t hate XP but the software’s in this current world has made my laptop work like a 6 moths old Netbook.
All these have forced me to finally try out Ubuntu 9.04 OS instead of XP. All though there was a pretty big learning curve to use Ubuntu but it has been fruitful so far with all my required software running fine without any performance hit. I still have to figure out how to fix the Flash full screen lag issue with Ubuntu 9.04 and my system expect that everything looks gr8.
If you have enough patience,time and old laptop u still want to use please try out Ubuntu out which has gr8 UI.
Thanks to eclipse, cfeclipse, mysql and railo CF engine for their gr8 open source products.
