My thoughts on Ubuntu, after Dapper 6.06

I use to enjoy using Linux as end user as well as power user. In either way, I am a well-satisfied user. I have not come to this opinion in a day or two. It has been maturing for the last one and half a year. Now I am full-fledged Linux Home PC user. It is around 9 months before; I had tried most of the major and active Linux distributions. Nothing gave me the satisfaction of making my home PC, **Linux Only** system, so that I need not depend on MS-Windows for my homework. During this search (thirst indeed) I found Ubuntu. It seems to be okay kind of distribution initially. But after started using for more than 2 months, I came to know that I lost myself in this wonderfully designed operating system based on GNU/Linux. The major features I enjoy are,
1. Well-integrated applications available in one single CD along with OS.
2. Excellent Hardware detection
3. Stable applications and services
4. No unnecessary services running by default, which is a security risk as well as load on system.
5. Unique look and feel.
6. The wonderful, dead easy software update and installation tool, synaptic.

But, I don’t like Ubuntu 6.06. You know why? It is working in my HPnx6120 Laptop, as it should be in a system automatically. Whatever the issues I faced during beta version installation, have been fixed (Suspend and Hibernate works like anything!). I don’t get chance to tweak to make some thing working. :-) :-( :-) :-(

Well said!

If you have to gain all these other "soft skills" or business skills in order to just be a regular software engineer, then why keep working for someone else? One of the main reasons for being an employee is because it's (supposed to be) both easier and safer than striking out on your own. Instead of long hours and having to wear many hats, you can just concentrate on your own skill, and leave the business stuff to the people who specialize in that. Anyone familiar with the idea of specialized labor should understand this. The downside is (supposed to be) your pay is lower than it could potentially be by owning and operating your own business. If today's corporations want their regular rank-and-file employees to wear many hats, be multi-talented, and have a lot of business skills, then they're simply not doing their own jobs correctly. - Grishnakh (Slashdot user)
