Windows Vista

Vista is getting released worldwide. Not for my computers!

UPDATE: Similar thoughts after vista release party

Debian on Windows

Following the Ubuntu installer for Windows initiative, Debian has just released their on version of the operative system installer in an .exe, for those who want to just try this operative system. This, just like the Ubuntu version, can be uninstalled through the add/remove programs in windows, just like any other program! Download and infos here (with a very suggestive URL).

Updating to Ubuntu 7.04

I've decided to update my Edgy Eft, Ubuntu 6.10, to the development version of Ubuntu, the Feisty Fawn, that's going to become Ubuntu 7.04.

• Step 1: tiagoboldt@Niath:~$ sudo update-manager -d
• I've just issued the command, update manager has looked and found the development version, update is automatic and 976 packages are currently being downloaded.

• Step 2: Unpacking and installing EVERYTHING automatically! Probably it will take a long time! It says about 23 minutes, fingers crossed, no errors must appear, like appeared from 6.04 to 6.10.
• Step 3: Rebooting, after a long wait of updates and a quick reboot, everything seems now to be properly working. Some programs will probably crash sometimes, but this is still the development version. But everything seems to be smooth.

Operation successful


Update:
Answering to Mike's comment, yes, there is a way to install through Feisty Alternate Install CD (not the Desktop CD), for this, just insert the cd, open a terminal and type:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Some updates might still be needed, but, anyway, it will be just a small part of it.
Job done :)

Letting go

Comics

I'm a comic lover. Especially those who pretend to be funny, with a little bit of geekness included. Due to this, I've decided to post those specially funny comics that I sometimes find online, from xkcd, dilbert, sinfest and a lot more, under the label comics.

Recently, he has posted a very interesting article about is fear of death. While Don to Earth, is blog, is a very interesting view of the world, through the eyes of life experience, it's also a way to show us that the new technologies aren't definitively only for new people, and that the blogosphere is here for anyone who wishes to use it.
