Ubuntu Hoary

Ubuntu's latest version (Hoary 5.04) got released last week. I have been using Ubuntu Development version Since I got Broadband, thats almost couple of months. Somehow, I feel Ubuntu is the way to go for any Gnome enthusiast. For all this time I have just been using Ubuntu & totally stopped using Slack.

The best thing as of now in Hoary is that it activates my PPPOE connection at startup, so I need not worry about manually connecting to internet. I dunno if this feature was there previously, as I did not have Broadband when I first installed Hoary's development version. The only thing i miss in Ubuntu are packages for Mono 1.1.X. In slack I would happily compile everything, but I wanna use the package manager to install stuff in ubuntu. But getting Mono packages for ubuntu seems to be a real headache. Maybe I'll just install it by hand.

Another cool feature is the Update Manager, which happily checks for updates & lets u know when there are some. For me this is the LINUX DESKTOP, how about you ?

The Week that never was.....

The past week has been quite a hectic one. These days I'm not doing anything useful, my Burn proj is stagnant & so is my DB2 preparation. It's gonna be like this till May-End, I guess. Anyway, the only fun that I have been having is playing Baldur's Gate-2 with my sis. But even that's gonna stop from today, as her model exams are gonna start :-(

I watched couple of very good movies sometime last week.

A Walk to Remember - This is a very romantic movie, Such a good one. Having seen quite a few Indian (romantic) movies, it's very much like them. I dunno, whether some of our movies lifted their theme from this one or vice-versa. But any it's one of the good Romantic one from Hollywood.

Eternal Sunshine of an Spotless mind - This one was very refreshing one, such a cool one. A different approach to a movie, I don't wanna reveal anything about this. Go watch it ppl......
