UBUNTU It can’t hurt !

It seems that some folk are still stuck in the rut of condeming Ubuntu and generaly Linux op systems believing Microsoft can only be the true computer system.

Well despite attempts at finding fault with Ubuntu, remember that there is a wealth of Linux knowledge out there for anyone to tap into for free and if a problem should show its self you only need ask and answers will be given or the problem solved from the inside. Anyhow, if you don’t try you’ll never know. Try a split drive with Ubuntu on half of it, the experience may surprise you.

Politics and Religion

I am getting increasingly worried that I am seeing a trend in Westminster towards a hidden religious agendas with regards to governing people, i.e. the last Prime Minister (Tony Blair) and the replacement (Gordon Brown) new Prime Minister. Can I be the only person to be aware that they both have heavily religious backgrounds? Blair is Christian going Catholic and Brown is from a Scottish preachers family.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very keen to have a country governed by a system that encourages a high moral standard. But this should not involve any kind of faith or belief in any historically invented but unfounded creator or omnipotent being. How do you see it???

Firemen lose life

Yesterday evening fire broke out in a very large furniture showroom (Sofa Super Store) on the edge of Charleston close to Palmetto Jaguar, nine firefighters have lost their lives (part of the building collapsed on them), the worst loss of life for firefighters in the US since 9/11, the last firefighter lost in a fire in Charleston was 40 years ago. The names have not been released as yet but one of them was believed to be a young football coach at Summerville High School.

No other lives were lost, the cause of the fire not released so far.

We can only thank all firemen for.the work they do and the risks they take on our behalf.

Linux and their community

Despite the fact that Linux based systems are getting world wide use it seems the worlds public still don’t get it. Micrsoft systems still get easily affected by most of the annoying little bugs writen by anoying big bugs and in recent weeks my XP system was not left out. This time it was the Spylock 4.1 false addware. This just keeps telling you that you need to purchase Spylock spyware to remove it. Don’t be drawn in by this.

Fortunatly I frequent the Sussex Linux User Group (your area will have one) and this proved again how the Linux community can help out (for free) even with MS systems. Should you get this problem, download SpyHunter free scanner, search your system then remove each point manually.

As I have Ubuntu (Linux) on my laptop my PC will be next to convert allowing me to avoid those anoying little bugs but still giving me access to that large community of Linux users for any help I may need in the future.
