Mutterings..

i've realised that the ubuntu way of naming distros is very appeasing to hear. some of them are
hoary hedgehog, breezy badger, dapper drake, edgy eft and the latest in the ranks Feisty Fawn.

A wild guess behind this naming convention maybe that the first word prolly describes the features of the distro while the second word is the animal that resembles the distro at best :O :O
wow thats some logic :)

But the real reason behind this post is that i wanna tell Microsoft to go take a hike. I no longer endorse Microsoft or any of its products. I am 24x7 dependant on Linux and all thanks to ubuntu.
But my spare hard drive does run Vista for the benefit of others who might want to use my comp.

Now that, the latest edition of ubuntu i.e Feisty has a stable release, i plan to upgrade.
i am now stuck in two minds whether to use a sudo upgrade or do a complete reformat. A few months ago, i wld surely have chosen a reformat but now a sudo aptitude seems more fun and seems like the way to tinker with Linux.

But i do have some issues with Linux where the easy solution wld be to use lame Windows, but the trouble shooting of the problem and the ecstasy of striking the jack pot is a feeling to be experienced especially for Linux newbies like me.

The worst issue with Linux is that, no matter what i do, i cant seem to get Beryl running. Sometimes, the drivers arent installed properly and sometimes the Beryl-manager keeps crashing. I knw that hardware wise, my PC is more than capable of handling Beryl. But i havent been able to get it up and running. That does rise my frustration levels to an extremity.

And something else i miss on linux are Games. I really miss FIFA '07 and NFS big time. I wish i can find some replacements for those and yeah i also miss Yahoo :((
Gaim is very useful in a lotta ways but the Yahoo games are a really nice way to fight boredom.
but with gaim, i can use multiple accounts at once, and thats really kewl b-)

On a lighter note, Zee sports is gonna launch a breakaway cricket league on the lines of the Kerry Packer one. The BCCI reaction is to be seen

i'm bored and i think i'm gonna start blabbering nonsense, i.e. if ur kind enough to treat the above matter as non-nonsensical :O
