My Space

V day went wushhing past... there was nothing in it for me, however. I am quite saddened to hear about the death of my friend's grandmother, whom I knew from a very young age.May she rest in peace. Yesterday, wasn't a good day for PC s, as an anonymous bug struck at about 10 30 pm Indian Standard time, that caused PC s to shut off. My friend's Vista was affected very badly, and the last time I saw, he was manually checking the disk. I installed Ubuntu Hardy on his system, and which he much appreciated, and thats the only way that his lap is running at the moment. I I were to use his words, I'd say that his lap is now running on life support. Lollz! I read the ubuntu wiki a lot and also the open forums, where people who are sick of Microsoft often come up and flay it publicly, There are so many comments on the wiki and the forum, and I just remember one, that caught my attention, and I still remember it. It went like this. " FAILURE ISN'T AN OPTION WITH MICROS...

I had these ubuntu(linux distro) cds lying around for months. I kept ordering them as and when a new version came out.Never installed them, however. I mustered up my courage finally, after being fully confident that it will not harm my "original" windows xp. I flicked the ubuntu 9.04 "jaunty jakalope" into the drive and installed it within windows. That was just the start of things. I was amazed at the simplicity with which it installed whithout a glitch.(i consider my desktop a pretty old one) When it turned on, it was sheer pleasure customizing it to look like an Apple osx leopard. It has a few problems, like its unable to play dvds without being programmed manually. Programming ubuntu just involves running a unix scrip..and you are done. I am now running my comp on ubuntu 24X7. I simply love it. I did some pending research in these days, to choose the distro i may use in the near future. Thus, I downloaded Debian 5.0.2,"Lenny", which I shall use later...
