Hello From Ubuntu
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. If you can read the small text in the Console window (or if you open the full resolution image), you’ll actually see that I was trying to install Second Life, which failed because I can’t install the correct driver in the Live CD session.
I’m typing this from Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Live CD. I abandoned Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake after it failed to install, and reverted my then-dual-boot laptop to one which only boots to Windows.
Besides I thought that there wasn’t much more for me to see in Ubuntu.
But now that I’ve seen for myself that Ubuntu 7.04 is so much more intuitive and attractive, I might give it another try the next time I reformat my machines (yes, that’s a plural because now I have my desktop to play with too). Not to mention the pretty, built-in visual effects (wobbly windows and desktop cube) which I’m quite blown away with. No comments on the functionality side yet as I need to really try it first before giving a subjective comment.
I’ve ordered 3 free CDs (2 PC Edition, 1 64-bit PC Edition) from their ShipIt service, and am just waiting for them to arrive now.

You have already downloaded the CD, why waste their resource for the ShipIt service?

uzyn: I ordered them already from ShipIt 2 weeks ago. Then my hands got itchy after hearing people talking about the desktop effects and decided to download the CD instead of waiting.
Besides, I like to collect their printed CDs. There was once I ordered 15 CDs and gave them away to my friends.

Ubuntu is coooool … I want one CD too Hendri!

Hendri,
I am actually willing to sponsor (BURN AND GIVE FOR FREE) Ubuntu CDs.
If you do know of anyone who wants Ubuntu CDs, don’t hesitate to give the person my contacts.
Fight for your freedom, now! =D

marina: Ah, too bad this time I only ordered 3 CDs (2 for 32-bit PC, 1 for 64-bit PC) and one of the 32-bit PC version has already been booked by Nicole.
You can actually download a copy of the OS from Ubuntu website, or order a free CD at ShipIt. If you don’t want a printed CD, I can help you burn a copy, and pass it to you the next time we meet.
Or, you can ask Felix.
Felix: marina wants one.
But yeah, thanks, I’ll let you know if any of my friends are interested to get a copy.
