2 days ago (May 27), I received ubuntu 7.04 installation cd. I received 3 cds, 2 cds of ordinary feisty fawn (run on Intel Pentium, Intel Core, and AMD Athlon) and 1 cd feisty fawn for 64 bit PC (run on Athlon 64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Besides all cds, I got a “bonus” of 4 ubuntu stickers. You must know, I have to paid custom charge (bea lalu bea,3000 rupiah) and repackage charge (4000 rupiah) for totally 7000 rupiah.
For your information, before, I already got ubuntu 5.10 installed on my computer (I do not have a chance to upgrade it to ubuntu 6). Compared to ubuntu 5.10, ubuntu 7.04 have alot of change. Below is the list of the differences:
1. Live cd and installation cd is merge. To install the cd, you have to clicked the install icon when running the livecd. I noticed that there are some programs on the cd is offered for windows (abiword,clamav, wesnoth, blender, etc, provided by Open CD) is not a default install in ubuntu.
2.Hey, there are hibernate. Yes, if I am not wrong, in ubuntu 5.10 hibernate doesn’t exist. If in windows we have to setting our PC to get hibernate (and click shift of course), in feisty fawn we do not have to setting anything.
3.too bad, when I try a chess game, I can’t enjoy the 3D game. You have to install OpenGl Phyton bindings and GtkGLExt Phyton bindings. I thought in 7.04 I can enjoy a 3D game ![]()
4. For java, Ubuntu 7.04 using a gij(GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 (java version “1.4.2″). Ubuntu 7.04 only provides 1 program for java (/usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1). Remember, on ubuntu 5.10 there are /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0 and /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java
5. Tomboy notes (like microsoft one note), sudoku game, Fspot Photo manager, Ekiga sofphone, CD/DVD creator (I haven’t try to copy a cd using it), Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.3, GAIM Messenger 2.0.0beta6, Open Office 2.2.0, Serpentine Audio/CD Creator
Right now, I am searching a driver for canon pixma IP1600, Nokia PC Suite for Nokia N70, an application for edit a pdf file
