For people wanting simplicity from their Linux distribution, Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) may well be the best release ever from any Linux company. While using Feisty Fawn from the late beta stage and right on up to upgrading to the final version, I kept thinking “Feisty is so easy, my mom could use this!” Not to say you can’t get more obtuse with command line syntaxes in Feisty, but for the folks that wants their Linux distro to work with a minimal amount of fuss, Feisty Fawn is a smashing success. The installation is really as easy as 1-2-3 and from there you can set up your desktop with a minimal (and I mean minimal) amount of fuss. In fact, I found setting up Feisty Fawn to be far easier than Windows Vista or XP in that department. There’s no need to hunt down drivers and software from the internet and things just work out of the box. Furthermore, if you don’t want to use the command line just about everything in Feisty can be done via gui apps.

I’ve always got the Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic CD lying around. Anytime a computer acts unpredictable, it’s a quick way to rule out RAM from the equation. If you don’t have it, you can certainly download it, extract it, and burn it to a CD, but now you don’t have to. You’ve already got the latest Memory Diagnostic on a disk, ready to boot, and you probably didn’t even realize it.
