Articles In: Linux & Ubuntu

Over the past few days, I have been dabbling in Linux notably Ubuntu .

Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. I must admit, the thought of even thinking of trying Linux again kinda scared me a bit.I had tried Mandrake, Red Hat, Fedora Core and each of them were as disappointing as the other.Trying to do things just was not fast enough for me personally and particularly with Fedora Core (cant remember which test it was exactly), I ended up losing both partition on my hard drive.Hence I gave up on Linux for a good while.About 8 months ago, Linux peeked my interest again and this time I decided to do my research before installing any odd Linux distro.Came across the Ubuntu website, liked what I read and ordered a few CD (i386 and amd64).These arrived about 6 weeks later.

The Ubuntu team is proud to present the Flight 7 release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support). With Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Flight 7 comes many bug fixes, general fixes all around, new version of some key applications and much more.

Hiya folks

Sorry about the disappearing act. Apart from turning 27 on Tuesday, I was busy with quite a few things. Brushing up my linux skills with Ubuntu as well as recovering from a knife attack that took place about a couple weeks back, which ended up in my left hand being slashed, tendons being damaged and an operation having to take place in an attempt to repair them. Thankfully I am OK (it could have been worse) but my hand is still in a cast. Hopefully going back to hospital this Saturday will yield better results so that I can start putting my left hand to good use again. Many thanks go to friends who supported me during that time. Much appreciated.

Ubuntu, which has become one of the world's most popular Linux distributions in recent years, launched its latest version on June 1 following months of intense testing. The new release is titled Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Support), and has a specific emphasis on the needs of large organisations with both desktop and server versions.
