Xubuntu Feisty Beta

In keeping with the tradition that Jim and I have established, though not spoken of aloud, I went to Chinatown to pick up electronics and talk about Linux with friends.

I came home armed with a 200 gig used HD for about 50 dollars, a might good find imho. I started working around 12 or so. One main thing I noticed right away was how long it took to download the .iso, in my case +30 minutes. Also I downloaded the wrong .iso the first time.
xubuntu live booted nicely, installed nicely and, much like any other Ubuntu install I’ve seen, did a perfect job.  It was my first look at migration manager, and I must say, it was pretty spiffy. The hd was wiped before I bought it, but I could tell Migration Manager was good software. As of 5 minutes ago, everything has been cake.

Feisty seems great so far.

Tomorrow, I mess around with applications and testing it more extensively. Stay tuned….
