Ubuntu-9.10-dektop-amd64

Arre... Pulchritude is the term!!

Ubuntu9.10 totally supports each and everything on my Acer Aspire 5738.
And performance is Legendary so don't "wait for it" and get it installed in your machine as well.

Everything has become so simple now. I started working on Unix(and derivatives) in 2005 when I got into college. There was no MP3 support... Geekish installation... problems like no USB support... (want to freeze your system??... Just plug in the USB drive!!)... and other issues. Now, they are accompanied by OS-installers which are more user-friendly than the software-installers in Windows itself... and you can even install it as a software inside windows! :) Cool Right?

Ubuntu has always been the number one... and will be. Its debian based distribution. Even with the display effects etc.. it works like the most stable thing I've ever seen.
The package manager gives you each and everything you'd need to add frills to your desktop! java is not there but gcc is! It rocks... is what the blog says anyway.
I'm working inside that only. :-)

The CD comes bundled with almost everything you'll ever need... for Office.. Multimedia or Internet... maybe routine maintenance...!

Think about the Grandpa Windows XP: its some 570MB and can never be of any use if not accompanied by a driver disc or utility softwares. So, why use something pirated when you have something better (serious understatement) for Free!!?

Think about it...! Will edit this post to be a better read.. soon! Ciao

So Pune it is...!

Watch out :)
Many of my college friends got Pune while others got Bangalore.. Hyderabad and Chandigarh. The postings came just minutes before the big [not really] Compre(-hensive examination).
People started calling me in certain scared tone... from the examination hall (you know... I have a reputation to study till the last possible minute) ...to know their posted location. For Some it was good news.. for others it was this constant struggle.. trying hard to concentrate on clearing the 65% bracket.. and context switch
to think about all possible options to change to their DC (by swap).. traversing thru all the faces they've ever seen in the campus!
Thank God I didn't have to do that. Pune had been my top preference for ages together... :D

So after the Final Final exam (in which btw I got a big A [Such a Raja Munna I am. Hehe. I managed to get 4.99 CGPA over all]) everyone was kinda poker-faced because of their own issues or they wanted to be with all these top favorite friends who got different DCs.
Finally.. the date of release came: 18-Dec-2009... and we got on board... :P

Mysore mein everyone was fresh out of college. It was probably the best hostel life.. college life I ever had. Anyway.. my college life has finally come to an end. Just like all the other good things. Chalta hai....! New Life... huh!?
Lets see what does Pune has to add to my journey.. ;) ... to
[destination is still unknown. LOL]

Update: I've taken a 3BHK with friends.. (of course on rent..) and currently furnishing it :D
and going office regularly... :P
