More Ubuntu goodness

I created a short video introducing some of the features of Ubuntu that I have been raving about the past few days. I hope that you enjoy watching it and I hope that it is informative.

Feisty update complete (mostly)

Well, the Feisty Fawn update was a success. I managed not to lose any data (so far) and the functionality of my computer is almost back to normal. I’m still tying up some loose ends as far as getting all my software reinstalled. Here is a screenshot from within Feisty:

I got the background and theme at http://gnome-look.org. There are tons of cool wallpapers and themes there. And here is a cool screenshot of me switching desktops with the Desktop Effects enabled:

Pretty sweet, huh? It makes you want to install it yourself doesn’t it?

Ubuntu 7.04 tomorrow

Don’t try to mess with me tomorrow, because I’ll be installing Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn on my computers. Hopefully there will be some torrents going and it won’t take me days just to download it.

Feisty is the latest release of Ubuntu, a computer operating system. If you don’t know what that is, you can send me an email. I’ve been using Ubuntu for over a year on my desktop system and for about 3 months on my laptop (give or take). I am currently using Edgy Eft on the desktop and the Feisty Fawn beta on the lappy. I’m planning to do a fresh install on both systems and am currently in the process of backing up my data.

I hope to give a small report once everything is back up and running. Wish me luck!
