As part of our class activities we were asked to take a look at the Ubuntu user's forums and comment on anything we find interesting. I took notice of two threads:
Install Ubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit?
Interesting thread on 32 vs 64 bit Ubuntu. Some say there is no problem but that your results may differ. The Users then provide interesting snippets asking and answering the question of what RAM and your processor actually do, and how increased memory actually speeds up your work. Some basic but interesting stuff.
8.04 Keeps Getting Worse
The user upgraded to version 8.04 from 7.10 and began experiencing freezing errors on their laptop and loss of internet connectivity. The syllabus mentioned issues with laptops (I'm considering getting one instead of a desktop as my secondary system) and with wireless causing problems with the Linux install. This threads seems to correlate with that although it looks like most users have no problems.
The responses are very helpful in trying to diagnose an extremely frustrating problem for a user. From my experience I had similar problems but one resulting from hardware failures in in the logic board and power supply. Also, one user "muteXe" along with some others suggested that 8.04 is far more stable than 9.04 which also reinforces why we were asked to stick with the more proven version. For the record, I believe our administrators are using Ubuntu 8.04 for the repository we are building at our library.
