10/20/2004 Re: Ubuntu is so good!

I love ubuntu too, I still can’t get my network set up, but its all good, I will figure it out. I was not able to make a network on suse or fedora either, so ubuntu is still my favorite. I have one question though, how did you get your ipod to work with ubuntu? I mean, do you use it like you would on windows or mac, or do you just use it as a mass storage device?

It’s so funny to me to read this, and think about how I loved Ubuntu even though I could not get the internet to work for months

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
