The post I am writing, is a small mini-review of KDE4.2, released a couple of days back, nicknamed “The Answer”. If you want a single line review and a picture (worth a thousand words) before reading the rest, let me put things in a nutshell:http:
The KDE 4.2 Desktop - Simply Superb
The most popular ISP in India has to be BSNL. Its cheap and affordable for many, thanks to a few very good plans it has for broadband. But here is my review of BSNL after using it for a few years – ITS HORRIBLE.
BSNL promised to deliver cheap 2.0Mbps broadband to every house in India. But that is hardly broadband anymore. Its more like online torture for its customers. Personally speaking, I use BSNL H500, a Rs. 500 plan which, if not for BSNL’s shitty nature, would have been actually GOOD by Indian pricing standards. It has a monthly data cap of 2.5GB, with happy hours from 2:00 AM to 8:00 AM when there is no data cap. During non happy hours, it bills Re. 0.90 for every MB which exceeds the 2.5GB cap. But yeah, its still horrible, and yet I am forced to use it. Why ? Read on…
After a few months of using it, I finally feel I am confident enough to write a piece about one of the best, and I MEAN best, linux distros ever, archlinux. This distro is rather unique, and several things in it make it the ideal distro for the intermediate level linux user. The following is in no way a review or tutorial about arch, THAT part would need another post. Currently, I am focusing on its importance as a distro for the intermediate linux user.
AMD has breaking performance charts and five star rating barriers with its new 780G budget chipset and 790FX Spider platform gaming chipset, exclusively made for AMD processors. With godly onboard graphics and its famed Hybrid Graphics mode, the 780G was set to rule. With the possibility that Nehalem may not have nVidia GPU SLi support, 790FX is possibly the only solution for performance seeking gamers, and it too has lived upto the performance seeker’s expectations. But… It has had the sad fate of not having a single AMD processor to match its & series Chipsets’ potential. Its all (hopefully) set to change now with these new AMD Phenom processors…
Introduction
I think it will be safe for me to get slightly personal in this little post of mine. Here I am going to describe how my life, as a geek and power user, goes on everyday with this computer of mine, which means anything but power. All this because I was never really a geek once, I was just a semi-backward guy who turned geek out of his own actions.
Introduction:
Before starting this post, let me give you a flashback of my current situation so that the lazier among my readers here can get a gist of the story without any clicks. Ubuntu Linux was my first Distro, but its most recent version was just too hot for my computer to handle. It was a disaster on my PC. Then I tried out Debian Lenny. It would have been good before, but now was the time its development period was about to end. And it was a bit too vague in many respects. So I had to say goodbye to it too.
You have seen two stages of my review of Debian Sidux GNU/Linux, about my installation of Sidux and my experiences with its first update. After a round of updates and installing software, and also customising, I can now consider Sidux to be almost family to me. Let me enter my third (and hopefully last) stage of my sidux review – the experience of Sidux now that everything has settled down(sort of).
