my laptop

Now it runs on unleaded premium fuel.
Nah....
Ok, before this it ran on Windows 7.
As my policy now days is to go legit on as many software and hardware I use, it seem beligerent not to buy and use a copy of Windows 7 for my laptop. But, you must see for yourself that I don't print money out of my asshole.
So in the spirit of open sourceness, I installed the newest version of Ubuntu. Version 10.04 LTS(lucid).

First of all, Linux isn't a toy that you play with like a fire cracker. Its a full version grenade.
All and I mean ALL of the system drivers work. Even my 3G broadband modem works with it.
Some needed to be downloaded. By that I mean by just bloody clicking a bloody button that says 'download driver'.
There are several drawbacks.
One is, the lack of things to do.
Its too simple a chimp would probably know how to use it.
Second, the OS has a ala marketplace for software but all are free. But it lacks some proper software for media go'ers like me.
I'll continue testing it in my camp activity.

the finals are over now what

Ok, my finals are over.
Now what?

Currently I'm trying to install ubuntu on my damn laptop so I can use it without it bitching to me that my os isn't licensed. So I'll use open source. Ahha!
Next week I'll be going on a camp leave. When I say camp, it isn't really camping. Its more like attending a seminar. So that'll make me busy for a week of my long semester break.
And I just listened to the Poets of the Fall's new album 'Twilight Theater'.
Its as great as their usual performances.
