New Year Resolution???

I'm not the kind who makes New Year resolutions, but this time I thought why not? The basic need for a resolution is to bring about a change. This change for me in 2007 will be in the OS that I use. Yes, I'm planning to give the Linux world a try from the next year.

I got to know about a latest flavor of Linux for the desktop called Ubuntu. I went through the site and found out some info about it and was pretty much impressed. I even burnt a Live-CD which can be used to try out all the features without actually installing anything on your harddisk. I'm planning to install a dual-boot scheme with WinXP and Ubuntu on my laptop.

I'm pretty new to the Linux world but I must say that Ubuntu is pretty impressive. I think this flavor will remove the fear of Linux from people like me. What I always wanted was the interactive GUI based interface of Windows along with the stability of Linux. I'm not very comfortable with CLIs and find them to be a little boring (read difficult to handle).

Anyway, I hope you would also try out Ubuntu to get a feel of the Linux world. There are a lot of things to discover in that new universe. However, there is a big risk in it. Guess what??? ....... You may never wanna get back to Windows ever!!!

Wish you a Spectacular New Year 2007!!!

Merry Christmas & Wonderful New Year 2007!!!

Back now after a long time. And what better occasion than Christmas to get back online. Here is wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Splendid New Year 2007.

I visited the local Christmas market ('Weihnachts markt') last week at Neumarkt in Cologne. That's where I took the pic.

I'll get back with more articles in the New Year. I've also seen that the blogger site itself has been updated. So many good things happening in this festive season. Anyway, party away and .... Enjoy folks!!!
