Hi folks. I am back for the second in what will eventually be a long line of infrequent updates. Did you miss me?
End of School with Linux
OCLUG (The Ottawa Canada Linux Users Group) is putting on an event called—you guessed it—End of School with Linux. This is happening on April 28, 2009 starting at 11am at the University of Ottawa in the SITE building, room C0136. The purpose of the event is to help people with their Linux systems, install Linux, fix issues, and just generally help out in the community. Your humble blogger will be there, manning the booth from 1200-1600, so come on down. And tell a friend, too.
More details can be found at the CSSA’s page.

Ubuntu 9.04 Released
Ubuntu 9.04 was released today. I have not yet looked at any reviews of the release candidates, but I am on my way out to pick up some new hardware on which to install it tonight.
If you were not on the sites downloading it early today you may have to wait, as most mirrors are very busy. If you have a newsgroup account then check out alt.binaries.cd.images—the ISO for 32-bit and 64-bit are there in both desktop and server flavours. For some reason, the Kubuntu and Edubuntu releases are not in the newsgroups, but you can always install the meta-packages after installing from the main ubuntu dist using apt-get install kubuntu.
Over the next few days I will be doing an install of the 64-bit version on my hefty(ish) new system, and a 32-bit install on my sorely-outdated laptop. I will post results.
Don’t forget to check out the Ubuntu web site.
One final thought
Did I mention I am going to get new hardware tonight? It’s been years! I am blogging and doing work, but all I hear in my head is “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”! It’s a wonderful kind of feeling.
Till next time.
