Ubuntu Rocks!!!!

I have always loved change... cos it lets you explore more, which is very adventurous... and Adventure is Fun!!! I have been stuck with a Windows Operating System ever since i first touched the computer in 1999. And after years of upgrading from an older version of windows to the latest every year... I was introduced to linux in the year 2005. Linux back then though was robust, was a meant for geeks... it was difficult to use as it was mostly command prompt. But over the years it has evolved tremendously. Other than windows operating systems I have tried some of the linux distros namely Red Hat, SLED, SLES, Yoper, Gentoo 64 and the best happened just 3 days ago.

One of my friend shared with me about Ubuntu, and I think my search for a real cool OS was over. Ubuntu is a really cool linux distro and maybe even cooler than Windows Vista or the latest Windows 7. Ubuntu is the most user friendly OS I have ever come across. I have uploaded a few of the screenshots here and a video with the demonstration of what Ubuntu is capable of.

National Geographic Photo of the Day

This is a Cuban tree frog on a tree in my backyard in southern Florida. How and why he ate this light is a mystery. It should be noted that at the time I was taking this photo, I thought this frog was dead, having cooked himself from the inside. I'm happy to say I was wrong. After a few shots he adjusted his position. So after I was finished shooting him, I pulled the light out of his mouth and he was fine. Actually, I might be crazy but I don't think he was very happy when I took his light away.
