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.
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/

There are times when you need to (re-)install Ubuntu on your computer and at the same time you are in situation where booting from CD-ROM is not possible.
Luckily I found a post from Deepblue Spaces: Install Ubuntu 8.04 from Hard Disk that contains step-by-step to start Ubuntu installer from the official Ubuntu ISO.
For more information, please refer to the original tutorial : Deepblue Spaces: Install Ubuntu from Hard Disk.
This trick is particularly handy when you are installing Ubuntu from a computer with buggy BIOS or where CD-ROM is not readily available
I’m writing about this topic because I see there’s still much to be done to localize Ubuntu (or GNU/Linux based operating system in general) into Malay, the official language of my home county, Malaysia.
As of this writing, the translated Malay strings in Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) is about 19%, and thus we need more aspiring users who are bilingual to help us translate Ubuntu (or Linux-base operating system in general). So in the near future, we can have Linux distro in our own national language.
How can I help to localized Ubuntu?
What I can get by translating Ubuntu?
User with a lot of karma can get lots of Ubuntu freebies sent to their doorsteps! Plus you can request to be inducted as one of the Official Ubuntu Members just like our friends, Nicholas Ng and fenris-
What are you waiting for? Come and translate Ubuntu!
Important announcement!
Those who are still using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) are advised to upgrade their distribution to later releases as it approaches end-of-life support, this October.
What is end-of-life ?
End of life means that the time where a product is no longer supported by its vendor. In case of Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn), it will no longer receive security updates and patches. Normally this would not cause problem to desktop computer, but if you are advised to patch your system as regularly as you can if you are connected to the internet to prevent malicious user from accessing your pc.
Curious about how long other Ubuntu releases are being supported? you can refer here : Ubuntu Releases and end of life date
