     Mac Vs Ubuntu Are you caught spying your friend Mac book? Okay, here is a very nice way to turn your Ubuntu Linux into a real Mac. With all the effects you can get. You may already be familiar with mac4Lin project  that tries to do something similar. I tried this sometime ago and I was not much impressed with the design. To truly experience the feel of Mac on your Linux machine, install Macbuntu. It does the job better that any other sources I 've seen so far. To install the awesome package Download the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ Extract it. You will find install.sh file. Double click and select "Run in Terminal" option. Alternatively , you could cd into the Macbuntu-10.10 directory and run the script using the following command. ./install.sh That's it and now you can enjoy your Linux with the feel of Mac

 Not again! I was working on my box (Ubuntu 10.10, HP Compaq) and I forced a reboot. On turning back my laptop, I noticed my laptop wireless was not connected to my home network. I clicked on my network-manager and there it goes "wireless network disabled". I remembered I had this problem some time ago on Ubuntu 9.04 and after wandering on several forums I got it working.  From experience, this problem normally occurs when you power off you system abnormally :) So many forums suggested different hacks but not close to the solution so they never got it working perfectly. To solve this problem, Simply run the command below:     $sudo rm /dev/rfkill After that, simply reboot your computer    $sudo shutdown -r now When you reboot the device /dev/rfkill deleted will be re-created automatically and you should be able to connect back to your network.

Ubuntu 10.10 I t's really exciting updating my Ubuntu from 9.04 after a long pause to Ubuntu 10.10. ...am not actually blogging about the upgrade but with the new installation from Ubuntu 10.10 Everything seems to work straight out of the Box -wifi, bluetooth, web cam, etc. What that implies is I don't need to bother about fixing or recompling new kernel stuffs to add support for those devices.

I really thought alot of you might be having a doubt going to Linux OS....But the truth is that the best thing anyone who really like adventure on his laptop or desktop computer might want is to try one of the Linux distros.... Like I do, I have been using Linux for a couple of years really. Though I virtualise Windosw using Virtual Box.... If you really one to try out any of these Linux OS. I will recommend any of these distros. Ubuntu, Kubuntu Edubuntu,Gubuntu... Enough of 'buntu. Other distros you can try are Damn Small Linux. (Dsl) RedHat Mandriva, Mandrake... Hey the list are just endless. But those are the ones I can recommend. But have it at the back of your mind that you can create your own OS (I wish you good luck).But is damn easy to do! Linux is really a wonderful OS that gives a whole lots of options to customise and manage what really happy under the hoods... I will be writing lots of things later on.... But don't be scare to use linux.
