Hardy Heron

This is Nina from West Jersey. She's a prostitute by trade



OK guys it's time for another geek-oriented post. In honor of Ubuntu's latest release coming out tomorrow, I've compiled my own little top ten eleven list of reasons you would want to switch to Ubuntu 8.04

1. You spilled coke on your apple key and just don't want to deal with it any more
2. You can have conversations with Computer Science majors that completely alienate everyone around you
3. You have a lot of spare time on your hands and nothing to do with it
4. Text based interface trumps graphical interface any day of the week
5. You're not really interested in running "mainstream" programs
6. You're broke
7. You want to meet all the friendly new people that hang out in Linux support forums
8. You can use Kernel panics as an excuse for handing in the occasional late paper
9. No one can ever accuse you of supporting a giant corporation
10. You want to become really familiar with the names of every single component and driver that make up your system as you spend hours online hunting them down
11. Feel better than all the people you hear asking questions like "Wait, what's see-plus-plus?"


Convinced?

Matt-

I dl'ed this the a few weeks ago and was too lazy to find the proper wireless driver for Macbook Pros. I know you have one..so where did you find it. By the way, we need to have a conversation that alienates everyone around us...although I'm pretty sure that happened in Journalism every day. Shoot me an email if you see this (scommella@smu.edu)
