Yesterday I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. I really wondered on seeing the installation as well as appearence of latest Ubuntu. In that cover of Ubuntu CD ( www.ubuntu.com ), they have described their mission. After one round usimg I realised the tremendous differance between 6th and 8 th version of Ubuntu.You can feel the differance in windows closing ,utilities and in booting ,opening screen. Moreover I understood the strength of ubuntu community ( www.ubuntu.com/community ) . "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others " . This Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to software world.
But this time also I missed to make a swap partion. Actually I don't know how to make a swap? How much space needed ? How it should be specified at the time of installation??

Struggling for getting interest to blog
In these days I was really struggling for getting a topic to blog. I can say, no time to study or read a new thing.But I want to enrich my knowledge. Usually I go to office at 8.00 am and return only on 9.30 pm. In software companies this become a culture. Even if they(sorry, we ) don't have work, we will be keen to pretend that we have work or heavy load. I can cry on public, in that 10 or 11 hours, most of the time my brain will be switched off.
But I am not ready to stop my blogging spirit. Here I am alone. I want my life to open to others so that I believe, I can reduce loneliness . You can expect more, more funny things.
