The Debian-based Ubuntu Linux was unveiled today and a preview release is available for download. Ubuntu uses Gnome 2.8, kernel 2.6.8.1, OOo 1.1.2 and comes with a text-based, but dead-easy, installation procedure. Ubuntu has disabled the root user (sudo is used, same way as OSX does it) and it endorses the "less is more" philosophy.

Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

I miss my desktop more than anything else! I screwed up my dropline and has to tweak my slack box.

My priority for this weekend--upgrade the kernel to 2.6.8 as required by gnome2.8 which dropline uses. Or maybe Ill upgrade to Slackware 10.0 but just thesame, it needs kernel update.

Looks like no weekend for me dude ;(

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

knock on wood! my digital camera: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/fuji_e510.html
is coming and i'm gearing up for my photo blog.

My priority is to set-up a photo blog for Nyticorax nyticorax, Black Head Night Heron or "Bakaw-Gabi", a bird specie recently declared as flagship specie of our city.

Next, if ever i have my time, a photo documentary on the relocation of informal settlers from the railway track along our city to Bignay.

And of course the Todos Los Santos the Philippnes' carnival festival to celebrate the day for the deads.

Looks like dropline is still down! argh... Last Sun I upgraded my dropline not knowing that this latest is designed for 2.6.x kernel and my box still uses the vanilla 2.4.22 that comes with 9.1. Too late when I rtfm at the site late Sunday (July 9) and come Monday till now (July 13) dropline.net is no where to be found.

I just downloaded and installed gmail notifier for windows. Kewl app as I am now using my gmail addie as my default e-mail addie. Of course it will be more useful for me and other *nix user if same app will be ported for our favorite OS.

This is an addition to my wishlist
