Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Ubuntu What Can I Say!

First of all I just want to say, I love the whole idea about this OS. I am from Africa and I know exactly what the word means and to bring that into the software world is just a brilliant idea.


I love the humanity thing, and actually using Ubuntu feels more human that any other OS (esp. M$ ones). It's amazing flexibility in customizing it, the host of application readily available to downloaded from the internet. The different "flavors", the NO - CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER feeling it gives, the COMMUNITY behind it( I can just go on for day about this ...)

As the title goes what can I say?


Well I know I sound like somebody in crazy-love with the software and I have my reasons to be but there are still some issues to be dealt with. One would be hardware compatibility, I mean come on this is Africa, we still have dial-ups and for an OS that supposed to be humanly to all people, I just don't see it happening with out a decent coverage of such essential piece of hardware. The other thing would be .......................... well nothing, for the life of me I just can't see what could be a "problem" with using this OS. A very small one would be the dominance of WIndows (particularly XP in our county) but who know one of these days it would all change.

Hey anything can happen even Obama go the nomination right ?!?!?!?!

Open Source, Less Labor, More Love

Open source software is inextricably tied to the idea of "giving it away." Projects open their code for a number of reasons -- to better the codebase, or to allow others to bend an application to their own needs. Maybe the reasons are entirely altruistic, or maybe the altruism is the happy side effect of more project-centric decisions.

Of course, the open source approach doesn't just help code, or simply act as the framework for strong applications. The desired end result of any application is to improve the life of the user in some way. It sounds like hyperbole, perhaps, but if an application isn't making work in some way easier (or play more fun), it's not an application you'd want to use again.

Mount a linux drive on XP and Vice Versa?

I am using two o/s ( Xp Sp 2 and Ubuntu 5.04) on different drives. The issue is that when am using one, i cant see the other drive.

I use linux to surf the net because i understand that its not easily attacked by virus but after i have downloaded some notes and programs i'd like to turn back Xp to access those programs reason being am comfortable using XP which is where the problem arises.

As a result, I am forced to dowload them to flashdisk so that I can access them from there. Would appreciate any help because this is a tiring process i have to undergo everyday.

How can we, the Voters, tell the Presidential Candidates about this most important matter?

What kind of mass marketing style petition can we, the Voters who care about the failed Education System, put together to send to both Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama? To make this idea of every student who doesn't have a computer, own a linux powered laptop computer so they can access the internet for homework research and to create their own multimedia reports using OpenOffice and other such programs??? There has to be a coupon debit-like card with $300 to $600 that can only be used via schools and/or online vendors for the parents to purchase low cost linux powered laptop computers? But it has to be able to run Windows XP Home Ediition as another choice besides Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, or Debian.
