Ubuntu 7.04 running smooth on HP DC7700 machine

After all, Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) release the stable version on 19 April 2007. I´m happy it´s support and running properly on my HP DC7700 machine, no need extra command to install like 6.10 before. Just boot a CD 7.04 and install like previous Ubuntu version.

Nice interface and desktop feature on Ubuntu 7.04. The most i like is Desktop Effect. No need to install another software like Beryl or Compiz. It´s already install by default.

Congratulations to Ubuntu Team! :-)

Microsoft font for open office (Ubuntu Linux tips)

Even if you use OpenOffice, you might still want all the Microsoft fonts so that documents created using Word or PowerPoint look as they were supposed to when you open them with OpenOffice. You can install the MS core fonts by installing the msttcorefonts package:

Note: You need "universe" in your sources.list

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

This will give you the core fonts, but if there are other TrueType fonts that you want installed, it is as easy as copying the font files to the ~/.fonts/ directory.
