Finally afte 8 hours, i’ve finished upgrading my laptop computer to Intrepid Ibex, it’s nice to see my hamradio application gets its own menu category.
Can’t help but thinking that its way faster than Hardy Heron, definitely a recommended upgrade.
Probably most of you have heard about the latest Ubuntu release – Intrepid Ibex, with all of its nifty features, including :
The only thing that might need a little bit polishing is Cruft Remover tool, which happily classify important files as unneeded files to be deleted (which is dangerous).
but the sad part was….
I don’t know if this is a coincidence or otherwise, but my 7 years old Pentium 4 1.8 GHz died shortly before Intrepid Ibex release. I’m now left with an aged laptop and unreliable wifi internet access at my current workplace to surf the internet.
Bottom line – I might need a new PC.

Found this on youtube, thought might share with all of you..
Ubuntu Mobile is a specialized Ubuntu distribution which intended to run on UMPC powered by Intel Atom processor. From what I read, current release of Ubuntu Mobile still does not have wifi support for Asus EeePC, a netbook which for me I think nice to have.
You can find more about it at the Ubuntu Mobile Official Website or download the image at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/mobile/
This is the first day that I have the mood to blog since Eidul Fitr (Hari Raya).
What really caught my attention since the last few days I was away-from-keyboard is the startup time of Mozilla Firefox 3.0 browser on my 7 years old pc (Pentium 4 1.8 GHz) running Ubuntu 7.10, it was noticeably slow, giving me the impression it’s bloated. Was it only me? or does anybody else notice it too?
Currently I use Epiphany to write this post…
