Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

I have been running Ubuntu 10.10 for a few months now and I am happy to say that everything works great. I wouldn't suggest that people use the alpha versions of Ubuntu like I did, but hey its always fun to be on the bleeding edge.

I would recommend that anyone that uses Ubuntu to install Ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
This little app makes editing some of the setting in Ubuntu almost painless.

Back to blogging and upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 X64

Hi.
I have finally decided to go back to Blogging. It has been a long time since I last wrote on my Blog and I have always wanted to get back to it.
My initial plan was to document my moving to my new house. However my plan was always to write about the thing I found important.
Linux and computer security.


I have finally taken the plunge and decided to migrate to the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04.
I am very please to say that it works perfectly so far. My last time I went 64-bit there was some things that just didn't work properly.
Until next time take care!
