It's been nearly one and a half years since I updated this blog. I've been quite busy. I'll be resuming reviewing FOSS pretty soon. I need an outlet on the internet just like everyone else.

I am writing this in ScribeFire, a Firefox add on which lets you publish to blogs. You can also add pictures and videos.Foresight Linux failed to install in Virtual Box again. This time I was using the CD. I'll try again. By the way, the installer is terrible. The fonts are ugly, it is slow and BUGGY, it still doesn't support ext4 and the partition manager is the worst I have come across in my

Sorry for not updating the blog. I have been busy of late. I have an exam coming up next week. I'll start reviewing OSes and software after Tuesday. I actually tried to review Foresight Linux but the installer always managed to consistently fail halfway through the install. That just pissed me off. I had been using their DVD. I downloaded their CD so I'll try it out on Tuesday.

Finally a usable Opera release with the qt4 interface is here. I don't think I need to remind you of how ugly Opera used to look on *nix with its old qt3 interface especially on Gnome. The latest builds of Opera 10 are available here : http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-4453/These will get outdated soon. You'll get the latest links by following the Opera developer blog : http://my.opera.com/

Hello FreeBSD The elusive *nix. Nobody knows about it yet it is one of the most widely used server operating systems. The wikipedia entry mentions it as the unknown giant of the internet. Huge internet portals like Yahoo! run on it. Why is it that no one knows about this widely used OS? Please remember that I am no *nix guru. I have used a lot of Linux distributions (mostly Debian based) in the

Right now I am using Linux Mint 7 Gloria. A brilliant distribution. In my opinion all linux newbies should try out this before any other distribution.

Welcome to this new technology blog. I intend to blog about linux and open source in general. I have been distro hopping for about two and a half years now. So i do consider myself to be an advanced linux user. I might review linux distributions if possible. Anyway, let's see where this leads me.
