Random check in. Hopped online and things were flying so I decided to do a speed test… yea… I think that the ‘free preview’ of the 5mbs service started with Charter. YEA! Now they will get me used to it for a couple months and when I think my internet gets ‘slow’ and call to find out they will inform me that I am paying for 3mbs and offer me a ‘deal’ on 5mbs 🙂 Until then, I will enjoy it….
Speaking of loving free shiznit… Ubuntu… I am still feeling it. I have played with several variants of Linux over the past 7 or 8 years and have to say that if they are wanting to make it easy, they do an excellant job! It is pretty, it runs well (admittedly, there was a need for some tuning on my notebook but that is to be expected.) and it is…. FREE. It actually is doing things that I cannot do in Vista with my hardware and i have about 95% of what does function in windows working perfectly in Ubuntu… Feisty Fawn’s official release is April 19th folks… get it… you will likely like that decision more than the feeling you will have when you plop down a hundred bucks for Vista… and I am speaking from experience; I have Vista Home Premium and Ubuntu blows its socks off! If you cant wait until the 19th you can get Fesity Fawn Beta – I have been runnig it for 3 weeks and am loving it…
