Ubuntu 8.04

Linux has always attracted me towards it. But the problem is none of the flavors of it has impressed me. SuSe 10 was ok types. I heard a lot about Ubuntu 8.04, so in my leisure time I tried downloading it, but thanks to the load shedding every time it was incomplete. So finally ordered it to be delivered by post. It took on surprise when it was actually shipped to my door step from Netherlands free of cost. Amazing, why would anyone do it for free !
Installation was quick, no overhead of partition, allocating those swap memories, it was as easy as installing any other software on Windows. It now detects my fat and ntfs partitions too...
Am loving it...

Her cry

She always cried when her dad carried her on his shoulder to the school. He had a smile. He muttered, 'drama queen'.  But today as he drops her to the school her cry was the same; Only he could make out the difference. There was worry in his eyes. He muttered 'god   keep her safe' #safeschools #stoprape
