Today I installed the new Ubuntu Linux to my laptop. Everyone remembers the issues I had with 8.04 [and if you don't, read some of my past stories on the subject, there are a few]. So far, the install has been very very smooth.

There is some good news today, hitmenforhire.com has moved it's server.

In my ongoing series of articles I've written about Ubuntu 8.04 I've described some of the issues I've had with it "out of the box" so to speak. Now don't get me wrong, with some tweaking I've managed to get everything fully functioning and running smoothly. Except my media keys on my HP laptop.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote and article detailing Ubuntu's latest release, Ubuntu 8.04 and some of the issues I was having with it. Well that's not to say I was the only one to have these issues. Turns out a lot of other people were having similar issues that I was having if not the same issues I was having.

In my last post, I stated that there were some issues with the latest release of Ubuntu, namely 8.04 or Hardy Heron. But all is not lost!

As everyone may (or may not, but I really really hope you do) know that the latest version of Ubuntu is out. 8.04 Hardy Heron is the code name and available from Ubuntu Website and for a desktop, it's worth the download and install. But it's not without it's issues.

The new version of Ubuntu will be released in the next few hours!

First Sun Microsystems purchases the open source database system MySQL for $1 billion a few months ago. Then Sun and Ubuntu are in the proverbial bed together (which is awesome by the way). Now Sun is close sourcing part of MySQL? It's not as bad as you think.

Sun Microsystems is soon going to start offering servers with Ubuntu Server installed on them. With all that Sun Microsystems has to offer, is this move worth it all?

Lately I've been having some issues with Firefox taking up all memory and increasing the swap file to almost full capacity as well as running a huge processor load. At first, I figured I might have to use Opera or something else. I tried Swiftfox, but it didn't support some of my extensions. So then what?
