Many people thought Linux is not user friendly, hard to use. That is 10 years ago ok!

Latest Kubuntu (Ubuntu + KDE) v8.10 has better Graphic User Interface (GUI) than Vista. Its latest v9.04 beta is even cooler.

Best of Kubuntu is you can install any open source application by using Debian application database. It support Compiz, the 3D multiple desktop too! Sure you could not find it run so real time in Windows.

What’s New in Kubuntu?

Not sure if you know a 700MB CD could setup full Kubuntu operating system plus most of general software you use daily. For example, Open Office, KTorrent, Amarok player, etc. The latest Kubuntu integrate with KDE 4.2.1.

You can’t resist the desktop effect and performance speed with KDE. Let’s see some screen shot after jump. The KDE 4.2 logo itself make me excited.

If ask my mom, I’m sure she don’t know what facebook is. Many people thought facebook is for youth? Wrong! The oldest person on facebook, Ivy Bean is at her 103 years old.

Oldest Person Facebook Page

Ivy was born 46 years before the first computer was invented, at year 1905. Older than my grandfather if he still alive. Look at photo right, she is logging in to her facebook page. Cool huh?

I plan to buy my first laptop end of this month or early next month. My initial plan was HP Pavilion tx2520AU Tablet but it obsolete already. Its latest HP TouchSmart tx2z model is too expensive for me.

While choosing another model, I reduce the budget to between $2000 to $2500 (RM). This is to save some money for a DSLR camera!

An intermediate performance model should serve purpose of minimal multimedia and mainly for blogging and Internet.

Compaq Presario CQ40 or CQ20?

After browse through laptops in the range, I found Compaq CQ40-154TU and CQ20-213TU suit my needs in term of performance, capacity, design and price.

The specifications for the two models are similar except disk capacity and screen size. CQ40 has larger 14″ screen and capacity 320GB while CQ20 only 12-inch and 250GB. I like mobility of 12″ screen but have to pay more $60 (RM) for it. Why pay more for smaller screen and capacity huh? (more…)
