Go Ubuntu

Are you ready to let Windows go? Do you think Mac is too expensive? Are you ready for a free operating system? If you answer "Yes" to at least one of the above questions then you may want to try Ubuntu. Use the following chart to help you decide whether Ubuntu is right for you:

P.S. Yeah, yeah… I know. It is an advertisment. So what? If I really like Ubuntu why can’t I spread a word about it?

Linux vs. Windows

Recently, I was reading an article about how to “Make Linux faster and lighter” (http://www.tuxradar.com/content/make-linux-faster-and-lighter) on TuxRadar. The article was not very good (IMHO) and I switched to users comments. A few paragraphs later I noticed very familiar trend.

It is funny how any Linux related discussion sooner or later becomes an endless flood of comments about why Linux is better than Windows and vice versa. What is the point? A few months ago I switched from WinXP to Ubuntu and I’m happy now. I hate Microsoft, you say? No, I don’t care about Microsoft. I was happy before that with XP as well. I had my reasons for the move – Linux runs better on my old laptop, much cheaper to maintain, etc. Some one else will have his own reasons. Why is it so important which one is better? Which one is better for you and your tasks is the right question to ask.

Can you quit smoking? Yes you can.

Last week I did. And what are you waiting for? I don’t think there is a need to explain the benefits of quiting. And, IMHO, all you need to succeed is a real desire. It is possible. Many people already quit and many more will do in the future.
If you do want to quit smoking and just need some more information I strongly encourage you to contact your GP. I’m sure he/she will be more than glad to help.
If you think I can help just comment on this post, contact me directly or use forums and I’ll do my best.

Chose one that suites you most

Warning! No more IE6!

Ilia Frenkel — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:14:02 +0000

I just want to warn those of you who still uses Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 – starting January 1, 2010 this site will no longer support IE6 browser. Not only will it cease the support, but it will even block IE6 users. Want to know why? Ask in the forum.

You still have time to upgrade to a better browser. ANY OTHER browser will do.

Cheers!

ChromeOS went offline?

Ilia Frenkel — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:16:23 +0000

That is interesting. Look what I’ve got today while trying to access Google ChromeOS website:

ChromeOS site error

Upd.: And that is why.
