Feisty Fawn

I upgraded my powerbook to the latest Ubuntu beta, Feisty Fawn. It's not too bad, but I'm still having issues getting the wireless working. I downloaded the alternate CD and installed off of it, thinking that would save me a lot of downloading time. The CD was ~500mb, which was better than 850mb downloading at slower speeds off the repositories. Turned out I still had to download 500mb of updates after I installed off the CD. So that fucked me. This was after failing to download the CD image the first time.

NB. Install new linux distros with a clean install.

If you don't know what Ubuntu is or even linux for that matter, you should check it out. Unlike Windows, you don't need to go through hours of installing before you can test it out. With a linux "Live CD", you can boot it up and try out the operating system without installing anything. You can do anything you want, but none of your changes will be saved unless you install the OS. You can check out Ubuntu @ http://www.ubuntu.com

That survey I posted prior to this ruins this blog. I won't post anything that big ever again.

Happy Easter.
