Not quite ready to upgrade yet...
Jun. 18th, 2007 06:44 pmFor those of you who are interested, I'm currently running both of my primary computers on Ubuntu's Dapper Drake version, which just so happens to be three versions behind.
Now, I'm not sure just how bad that is, but I've been playing around with a third computer that has the latest version (Feisty Fawn) installed, but I'm still in a quandary about upgrading my current working computers.
Certainly there are several advantages of upgrading, but I've also seen several disadvantages, outside of the obvious reasons of having to recreate my settings and stuff.
One of the advantages I'd thought I'd get was being able to run Linux and Windows simultaneously with one the included tools, however, the processor in my primary desktop machine is a little too old to support running a "dumb" OS (meaning one that isn't aware of the resource-sharing going on, not just Windows in general) alongside Linux.
So for the moment it looks like I'll be sticking to an "old" version of my OS for awhile yet until either I'm sure it'll be a good investment or until I think I'll be safe doing so (safe as in stable, not security, some of the software, when certain settings are enabled, have caused crashes in certain apps).
