Bad:
1. The problem of frequently loading/unloading hard drive on a laptop continues to exist in Ubuntu 8.04.
2. The evolution-data-server process randomly consumes CPU up to 100%, even though it is in sleeping state.
3. Sometimes, when I click the calendar at the top-right corner, the whole system stops responding.
4. The speaker makes a sound, but the earphone doesn't.
5. (Update) If the machine returns from Suspend state, the problem of loading/unloading hard drive appears again.

Good:
1. The interface is awesome, especially after compiz is installed.
2. Substitutes can be found to replace the  popular softwares under Windows. More importantly, they are free.
3. I found a good tool, Nemiver Debugger, to help me debug C/C++ programs. Even though it is not as powerful as Visual C++, the basic functions are provided.
4. I don't need to worry about the annoying virus and spywares in the future.

今天在laptop上安装了Ubuntu 8.04，很简洁，比较符合自己的审美标准。而且laptop的温度似乎也不像运行xp时那样高。8.04这一版依然有不断load硬盘的问题，7.10 上的解决方法依然奏效。现在唯一的问题是没有声音，google了好久，这个问题似乎是一个比较普遍的问题，但是却没有一个统一有效的方法，比较郁闷。就 先在无声的世界里挣扎吧。
Update: 不是完全没有声音，而是声音非常小，听的不是很清楚。用耳机听没有问题。
