My first Day in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
October 19, 2007
18th October 2007: Ubuntu release its new Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.
I’ve read many posts of Ubuntu users that talks about Ubuntu and the new release. I’m a Debian user and yesterday I’ve decided to switch to Ubuntu because I’ve see that Ubuntu packages are released from many software house. Ubuntu have the best support on the web, it’s community is the largest I’ve ever seen. Ubuntu is based on Debian and for these reasons I make my switch. I’ve download and installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my PC in 30 minutes.
When the system was up and running I’ve see a surprise coming from automatic ATI driver installation: System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager.
My next step was to turning on Special Desktop Effects of Compiz: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Extra Effects. But compiz don’t start! Error: “Composite Extension was disabledâ€.
