One observable improvement on my IBM Thinkpad R50e is that KDE 4.0 appears to run smoother than before. I used to be on Gnome Desktop previously, but now I've switched to KDE because it is running fine.Nothing more that I could find interesting to report, one that of a Linux newbie.God speed,Schumi

Well well well.. there has been a long delay since my last post. My work timings have taken the toll on my ability to post not only on this blog, but also on Wikipedia. Oh, maybe, I have not mentioned it here previously. Nonetheless, let me get to directly get to the stage after the installation. Installation Linux distros has never been easier. Check out some of these web links for detailed

Okay. Sorry, I could not get back to writing any further since the past few weeks. Anyways, let me get back to where I left it behind. Since I already had Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake Live CDs, it was imperative for me to try it first. Let me first explain to you the terminology behind the version number and the name following it. It's pretty simple, in fact.If the version number be 7.04, then the

The last time I wrote, I left it a point where most of us are usually left wondering – the red or the green pill. The red pill, in this case the Linux Penguin, appealed to me all the more. And why? With more than 10 years of my marriage with Windows, I was getting disgusted and frustrated at how my dear ThinkPad was being smacked and whacked internally by Windows. On a funny note, it gets as

What is Ubuntu? For this, let me refer to the Ubuntu documentation, which is produced here in verbatim:Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-BOON-too") is seen as a

I was not quite sure what I'd call myself when I start using a Linux distribution. I'd a few options at hand:A simple Linux UserA whoever, why should I care?!A Linux JunkieThough I don't smoke pot, the word "junkie" seemed to draw my attention many a time ;-) Anyways, that's the story behind my blog title.
