Windows is no longer my master. nor a fixer.

I was a software pirate till now.. Had to use Windows till today morning..Now that i had crashes today morning while tryin to install vista x64 i just thought why shuold i keep it again.
To dust bin. Loss = a few dvd’s and some happy hrs of download..
Gain = Freedom..Style..Life..

Laid hands on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS beta..
wow simply WoW.. the windows WoW is just a  windows WoW
lot of new features.
*firefox 3 beta.
*a new cd/dvd burner “brasero dvd burner”
*and a cool facility the unlock. a kinda graphical sudo.(Policykit)
*and in the recovery console.. i just saw a xserver recovery option..
i wish i had that long ago.. coz i had many xserver crashes on 7.04 till when i had to figure out how the nvidia driver is linked to the os..

*the Gnome 2.22 is cool and smooth.. i kinda liked it and goin to stick on it rather than kde..

*the default torrent client is also change… it’s now the transmission..(din use it till now.. waitin for happy hrs to start)

*the vncviewer is also made more good.. (this is also on waitin list to try)

but i have some bugs in hand on the first hr itself.. some are

the menus get refreshin now and then.. background processes stops respoding.. mouse becomes inactive…hell lot…

and don’t know wht happens with the pidgin.. it just stops respondin and then quits

*another feature i liked was the bluetooth intgration… wow my mobile just got mounted like a pendrive via bluetooth.. i was surprised..

now i just need to find a pc suite for the fone..

*GIMP k.. i think i can make this a replacement for ma fav photoshop..

*another feature i couldn’t try was the install of hardy inside windows..

plannin to do that on the old system after the exams…

further encounters with the new Boss will be posted soon
