How to improve the web experience on Ubuntu 8.04
Posted on August 8th, 2008 by matt
- Download and install VirtualBox;
- Install Windows XP in a VM;
- Install Firefox and/or Opera in the VM;
- Install Flash in the VM;
- Profit!
It’s not just that Firefox is pushing Xorg to eat all the CPU and starving other applications so much that music will stop playing in Rhythmbox, though that’s the biggie for me. Fonts look better, Flash video plays reasonably well — still a little jittery fullscreen but less so than with the native Flash — and Opera obeys the system font settings for menus and dialogs.
