Ubuntu Gutsy

Nah! Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy didn't went on with me as I thought. All the improvements fades away with the amount of bugs it has. The thing is that it comes up with different bugs on different machines. Still didn't downloaded the ati fglrx driver. So no experience on Compiz Fusion just yet.

Ubuntu Gutsy

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon will be released next month. Seems like they've added some new (usefull) stuff to it. Including a graphical config tool for xserver (with dual display ability) and a new printing system.

Also among the new features are Compiz fusion which is enabled by default. We'll have an exiting experience ha!

Windows Vista DVD Maker

Just burnt a video DVD with Vista DVD Maker. I should say it's simply great. It has the best Menu templates I've ever seen with 3D rotations and dynamic video thumbnails. Also, if the codecs are installed you can convert any video file into the DVD.

Only catch is that there is no way of adding subtitles to the movie.

CDMA phones on Ubuntu

Just finished another failed attempt to use my LankaBell CDMA phone on Ubuntu. It connects to internet but I cannot view any web pages. I got this far thanks to this article by Kalpa Pathum Welvitigoda.
