Ubuntu is friendly enough to provide a nice and friendly warning to me about the status of the laptop battery that I currently use. With Microsoft Windows (at least Windows XP), the laptop simply dies when the battery looses its juice.
Its nice to have this sort of reminder when you really need to change the battery.

No real updates today, just a video I got from NetworkWold which caught my eye. Its about a boy suddenly turned into a teenage girl by the sheer power of Intel Core 2 Duo laptop.

This is an update from previous post, Ubuntu Feisty Fawn does not work on Compaq v3521.

So the obvious solution to the previous problem is easy! Just install Gutsy Gibbon!
