Kubuntu 7.04 Feistier than Ever

The press release from Kubuntu.org

April 19, 2007 - Kubuntu 7.04 has been released and is available for download now.

Kubuntu 7.04 stepped over the edge, becoming the feistiest release to date. Improved desktop, updated applications and increased usability features are just a few of the surprises with this latest release. The goal for Kubuntu 7.04, codenamed Feisty Fawn, was to continue on the creation of a secure and stable environment, working towards the perfect KDE based operating system. Starting with the excellent base of Ubuntu and an implementation of KDE, Kubuntu 7.04 set out to smooth the rough edges and polish the future of Kubuntu. The development team has succeeded and is very happy to bring you this new release. We hope you enjoy your Kubuntu 7.04 system

I decided once and for all to switch to linux. It was a very difficult decision, because I had to choose one distribution from the favorite list. I wanted a distribution that is easy to use, has ready made features, is fast and has a lot support.

I was between fedora core 5, ubuntu and kubuntu. I had used ubuntu and fedora core 5 in the past. Both distributions had their pro's and con's. At the end I decided to install kubuntu.

Being cautious I backed up all my important data, and moved the other data to another partition. I booted kubuntu feisty dvd and install it to my hard disk in the first partition. I was very surprised when I saw the new installation process which is very easy. Kubuntu recognized automatically all my devices (yes you don't need any annoying cd's any more). And from that moment the fun has started.

I have to say that I am very satisfied with my choice. I will post more things about kubuntu and what you can do to change to linux.

Also I have to say that windows is past from me. In my next posts I will show you solutions to go from windows to linux.

Well if you have a Mac, just stay there ! I believe it's a very good choice.
