24 hours with t' Intrepid Alpha

Ayeterday I installed t' latest Alpha o' Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex. I installed t' alpha on 2 different machines and experienced mixed results.

T' first machine I installed it on was me notebook. I really only use me notebook for browsin' t' web and communicatin', I do not use it for any mission critical activities, so I be easy when it comes t' usin' t' machine for testin' purposes. Me notebook, an Acer Extensa 4220, took t' installation flawlessly, apart from t' wireless, which has never worked. I have only been usin' t' installation for about 24 hours, but I be impressed with what I have seen so far.

In fact, I was so impressed with me notebook installation, I decided t' install t' alpha on me desktop, an old Compaq Evo. As with me notebook, I rarely use me desktop for anythin' important and so I be fairly easy when it comes t' usin' it for testin'. This time I was not so impressed, t' installation worked fine, but after performin' an apt-get update/upgrade, t' system decided it not want t' play ball and started t' experience some xorg issues. I have reported these issues and will continue t' attempt a fix.

So, 2 installations o' Intrepid on 2 different machines in 1 day. 1 installation rocks. 1 installation blows. It be all good fun.

By t' way, sorry for me silly pirate speak :)

A Network of Ubuntu Muppets, Part 2

I have not posted on my blog for a while, I guess I have broken the habit. Luckily, as if just to help me ease back into this blog, there is currently a meme spreading from planet to planet.

I actually posted about my computer naming theme last October, see "A Network of Ubuntu Muppets". I am still using the same naming theme, only I now have 3 more muppets on the network; beaker, fozziebear and muppy. My network of Ubuntu muppets is growing.

Bah.
