My Experience Of Ubuntu 7.04

This article describes my personal experience of using Ubuntu 7.04. It is just my personal thoughts of this version of Ubuntu.

My first forage into Ubuntu was with version 6.06 LTS. Not too long ago, I become curious and decided to install the new Ubuntu 7.04. Therefore I went to their download site and downloaded the installation iso file.

The download was huge and took many hours on my slow computer. After the download, I burned the iso image onto a blank CD. Next I used the CD to install version 7.04 of Ubuntu. The installation was done on an ancient Pentium 3 that has about 350 Mb of ram.

Like all previous versions, Ubuntu 7.04 is able of detecting all the hardware devices on the old pentium machine. This includes the USB devices, sound devices and ethernet card, . The installation takes about three-quarter of an hour to complete.

What I really like about version 7.04 is that it makes installation of certain plugins easier. This include plugins such as flash player for the Mozilla. Now you can easily install the flash player from any flash-enabled site. In previous versions, the installation of flash is complicated due to some bugs.

Unfortunately, my old pentium hanged while I was surfing the net using the Ubuntu 7.04. The mouse simply stopped working. This happened many times. As a result, I had to restart the computer many times. This point made using this version of Ubuntu rather difficult for me.

As a result, I revert back to Ubuntu 6.06.

Well, that was my personal experience of version 7.04. Thank you for reading.
