Ubuntu 8.10 Rocks!

Well, I updated to Ubuntu 8.10 and, as expected, no problems and the
install is as solid as the last one. It's got updates to a slew of
programs, including new drivers for my nVidia card which gives me better
3D rendition and an excellent full screen view of on line videos.

For PhotoShop fans, Gimp has a new version.

And have you done the simple update to Open Office 3 so you can read Office
2007 documents?

No, I haven't done the update. I'm not sure how to do it.

It has been so nice and quite in here without your noise.
We all were hoping that you'd never return and that possibly the
authorities had finally caught up with you.

So they updated an inferior product and now it still is inferior. Good job.

Remember that Ubuntu and all those other Open Sores software packages are
worth exactly what you pay for them: NOTHING.

Whereas vista is apparently worth about the same NOTHING - although you
pay an arm and a leg for it. So who's the intelligent one here.

"Quite" what?

The authorities know exactly where I am. You obviously know nothing
about Spain but what else is new?

Nope, they updated a superior product to something even better and, yes,
good job.

Let's see, I made 2000 euros today using Ubuntu to send out the invoices
so you were saying? More like you were lying but that's par for the
course for you.

worth SHIT?
