Ubuntu – Breezy Badger

Hi all,

I was assigned to test the Ubuntu – Linux Distribution to replace our SUSE Linux. So i haven been tinkering with my workstation. I have had to re-partition my 240gb hard-disk. Believe me, it sure took its time to get done. Then i had to clone over my exisiting Win Xp OS. That took me about 2 hours. I had to skip that "quick nap" session that take once i reach work.

Tragic – The word that came to mind when i realise the irony round the whole darn thing. Sacrificing sleep to work, when i should be working at the first place.

Sponsored by Canonical , Ubuntu is the latest and greatest operating system built on the Linux kernel , Gnome 2.12 , the GNU utilities, and the Debian packaging system. Ubuntu 5.10 is the first Linux-based system I have encountered that is tolerable enough for me to use for everyday work. Basically just a consumer friendly debian re-packaging. Interesting!

Desktop	Nautilus	Firefox 1.5

Image Editing	OpenOffice	Installations

Some problems encounted so far:

– OS installed without Audio, had to do multiple re-installations to fix that.

– Cant install Audigy2 driver for SB live.

– Can’t get Evolution to connect to exchange server.

– Nautilus being ridiculuosly slow, though it could have been due to the ram

– I miss Suse Linux

Good things so far

– Installation was a breeze, so much i can say for red hat.

– Gnome looks ravishing.

– No network issues from me.

– Gimp handes better, much better

Overall, is a great achievement. But Ubuntu is still rife with design flaws, some of them severe.

Cheers

ps: I prefer my Suse. She was always the best penguin.

Laughing at Gilded Butterflies

Archtomato works in the IT security industry and has managed to convince his bosses for the past 10 years that his best work is yet to come.

Archtomato is a coffee nut, a photographer without focus, a traveler who can't read maps, a diver who floats all too easily and a champion of world peace.

He is an avid practitioner of the dark side of the force; admires Chuck Norris, Paris Hilton and collects vintage Batman comics. Just like the Horizon, Time Dilation, Flying pigs, Tax Reliefs and possibly, the "Opposition", he believes he is more of a concept than a corporeal being.

Archtomato believes that the true nature of man is decided in the battle between the conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious and that the evil of man's subconscious is often too strong to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle.

He now lives in a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, smelly beavers, zits, herpes, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, conscription, yellow bananas, stupid people, nightmares, dog whisperers,Gamma Ray Bursts, Nuke Baddies and sings badly but regularly in the bathroom.
