Comment 60 for bug 159241

Hi everyone ,

Just had to make a comment,so many people having problems with ubuntu! Im having trouble understanding that,really...My experience has been different,my first linux was a redhat ver.2.6 or something,back when win98se was big,still my fav windows but thats a diff story,...Now im using Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex,whatever that means,can you tell im new to linux? ive had no bugs really,installation took a little over an hour turning itself on and off several times,it needed me in the very begining and very end of installation,everything else was fully automated in a gui,no hanging,no errors,no problems,other than trouble burning dvds ona dvd-cd rw combo built-in my older toshiba laptop,1.5 ghz,only 512mb ram,...iit burns cd-r and cd-rw both + and - discs but wont even recognize a dvd blank disc,go figure,...but im truly amazed from my old redhat to this version of Ubuntu 8.10,...wow,im lovin it
you dont have to be a computer programmer,or a rocket sientist,was so simple,hell windows has way more issues,...in fact windows vista crashed on my new desktop,ok its 2 years old,new for me,hehe
      Now i want linux on that computer cuz my laptop is at least 3 times faster on ubuntu,it freed up my resources,my only issue was hooking up a mobile quadband usb modem at 7.2mbs,and the problem was on the install cd,finding the drivers that work with linux,there was none,but mac drivers were listed,i tried and when i rebooted it was working and connected before it finished booting! im really sorry you guys having problems,cant help wondering,most of you are running a newer computer than me,...could hardware drivers be too new for linux also i went for the newest ubuntu i could find,could some of you be running older versions,alot older,...then newer drivers may not work,...all i know is i got a piece of crap and its acting like a full blown super computer,i can do it all with 512 mb of ram,was barely enough for win xp,cant wait to do the desktop next, thanks for puttin up with me,i wish you all the best of luck with your issues,but im really quite surprised,...ed
