That's not quite as good as a donation fund, but would still help the smaller projects by announcing their use and value. well, our interests coincide.Īnother thing that Canonical could do, short of setting up such a fund, is write a small app that lists the apps being used on any installation and allow the user to save the list to disk which would include the designated donation web page for that project. Yes, I do contribute to F/OSS projects, EFF, and several other groups who have my best interests at heart. Even if all Samba got from my $50 was $0.75. I think this would go a long way toward helping various projects. Ubuntu and others more-or-less hide its use from the user so they would be unaware that they are using it. Trouble is that some projects which I do use are not readily recognizable as such. Is anyone at Canonical listening?ĪS it is now, I have to donate separately to those projects which I feel that I use enough to donate to.
One thing that I wish Canonical would do is to set up a donation fund where I could donate say $50 per install and know that all the apps that come with Ubuntu would get a reasonably fair share of that money. Yeah, I forgot to mention that 8 upgrades cost me nothing but time. As for the rest of the world, 8.10 is rocking awesomeness. Now, if you just have to have the 'perfect' gaming machine.
I will continue to give out CDs free to anyone that wants to improve their computing life. As far as I am concerned, with two older laptops upgraded, and 3 older desktops upgraded, all with ZERO defects, Ubuntu continues to impress me. I appear to have fscked up a setting on the wireless networking, but now it's all good.
After the upgrade I did not have to tweak anything, and any problems I was having prior are now fixed. Yes, it can drag now and then, but is resource limited severely.
Guess what? The upgrade went as fast as my Wireless G card would allow it, after a reboot, and then an update last night, it is working a bit better than with 8.04 from a layman's point of view. The old IBM T22 with 256MB RAM was my test case. I was concerned over real world issues about the upgrade from early reports. I've just upgraded 8 systems to 8.10 and am quite happy. Seems like they were comparing two Ferrari race cars and commenting on the differences in interiors.
