October 29, 2005: 3:51 pm: MatthewTechnical, Tips and Tricks

So I was trying to figure out how to repair my XP installation after the MS defrag utility killed it, and I ran across (Thanks, Google!) a page of tips on how to do stuff in XP. There’s more handy stuff on the page than what I would expect… unfortunately, nothing which helped in this instance.

I’m pondering a move of some of my dev machines to Ubuntu since it is getting such favorable press and seems to have a fast-out-of-the-gate goal, which is the one issue I had with Sarge/Sid. It’s darn hard to get consensus on anything, and with releases waiting can really slow you down…

But the Ubuntu folks have a couple of scary pictures on their site… it’s a bit more kumbaya than I expect from techie types…
