Ubuntu Unity Experience-11.10-Update

I think then the "Ubuntu Bashing" that is going on is coming from not Linux users but by windows guys.

First of all I never used Ubuntu for my regular work.

I did not like when it disposed of root log in and that was the very reason I never used it on regular basis, coming from Redhat base.

I have used many Linux distribution and my Linux 100 was an attempt to highlight many distributions as possible.

Even though I did not use Ubuntu, every time a new Ubuntu comes I download the new image test it and keep it as an archive.

The other two I regular downloaded were Puppy and Knoppix.

Then I went into full gear and I started downloading every possible Linux from Turnkey to eyeOs.

After all this, one thing I must make it clear.

Every time a new Ubuntu come it was much better than the previous best Linux except my idiosyncrasy or the basic nuance no root log in.

Ubuntu 10 is pretty good and its L.T.S 10.04.3 is a very stable distribution.

The we have lot of Ubuntu derivatives out there of which Ultimate Linux and Ultimate Linux Gamers scored heavily on my point scheme.

What is most striking for me was Ubuntu was Cloud Ready from its version 9.

Now the Ubuntu One has over million users.

Now I believe there are over 10 times or may be 20 times Ubuntu users worldwide.

That is 10 to 20 million users.

Most remarkable achievement of Ubuntu was it was the distribution that made some impact on Microsoft.

So bashing Ubuntu now using UNITY is the game they (windows guys) play in tandem with some not so regular Linux users.

I think Ubuntu is going from strength to strength and its Unity for me is pretty good and novel experience.

I LOVE that experience.

Managing change even in business world is difficult.

I think Ubuntu should hire a small team to manage this change. That will come good on the long run.
Its web site is doing an excellent JOB.
Visit it if you have time.

I for one join that team to promote all Ubuntu derivatives especially Unity and Cloud Service.

Not only that it is making Linux Mint popular.

I see that as a good byproduct and a very good plus factor for Ubuntu and a market hype.

Both are Debian derivatives and they indirectly make a slow moving Debian also target for newbies.

It is all good for Linux.

My worry is that the other 97 Linux I promote are not given a hearing due to this HYPE.

There is another good one on the market which I am currently downloading (very slow with only one seeder) and it is called Onyx64.

If you are bored visit my blogspot here.

Please do not forget Knoppix, Puppy my favorite and PCLinux FullMonty.

Do not forget EyeOS and EyeNUX.

This time even Suse has a done an excellent job and its derivatives that one can make from SUSE STUDIO is another attraction.

LINUX is well ahead of all the other commercial distributions (including ANDROIDS), come this Christmas.

The best Christmas gift one can give this time round is Linux from UNITY to VANITY.

Thank you Guys/Girls (developers), your hard work is paying dividends.

My Plant Bioindicators

My Plant Bioindicators

We are fast loosing the bird species.

With them we lose the seeders or birds who disseminate seeds.

Over the past few years I have designated few plants the go through a rough patch of dry weather and survive.

1. My number one is pipal tree.

2. My number two is pineapple plant which in few years time i am going to tree as an ornamental plant.

Now I know it can live up to 100 years if we do care for it.

3. My number three is cocoa plant.

4. My number four are the array of citrus plants. I have three or four varieties and none of them had flowers, I have observed them for three years.

None of them died.

I do not know why they are not flowering.

I was very much interested this time since like onion in India suddenly the price of lemon hit the roof.

5. The Indian jasmine plant is another candidate but I do not know why it does not let a young one grow from a shoot in its neighborhood still attached to the mother plant. i was successful getting a sapling once i severed its connection with only two slender roots.

Mother nature is intriguing.

It is very difficult to predict how the plants behaves in a community.

There is lot I have to learn about the "neighborhood forest" i am living with.

Learning about the rain forest is a daunting task.

But destroying it is easy by having a roadway built on its perimeter or through nature.

Those who built roadways and allow banana growers to grow banana for Americans are actually nature vultures.

They have gone bananas.
