After long wait, Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope is now available for public download. Servers might be busy right now but I would prefer you get it via torrent. It will be faster than regular HTTP download. Ubuntu had been one of the most popular Linux distro and had been penetrating users from home, schools, business [...]
It’s summer and the heat is on. Some goes to the beach, some to Bagio, some goes to their hometown for their vacation.

I’ve been a long time Yahoo! Messenger (YM) user. Yahoo was my first e-mail account and most of my contacts are Yahoo!. I won’t make the intro long. So here’s what’s I want to post.

During the writing of my previous article, the Ubuntu website is not yet updated. Meaning it doesn’t have any info regarding the release of Hardy Heron (but rather the Release Candidate only). Now, the website is updated and information regarding Hardy Heron can be seen (click here). I am currently downloading Xubuntu 8.04, Which is [...]
