After setting up Ubuntu on my desktop, I decided to tinker around with it. The torrent for Bloody Monday was released while I was at it, so I utilised the default torrent client that came together with the installation.
If you can’t see it clearly, it’s Down 8.46MB/s and UP 3.07MB/s
The screenshot’s crappy because I actually overwrote the original file in all that excitement.
The speeds further increased after this screenshot, before dropping after slightly less than a minute. Still, it’s pretty insane, especially since I’ve been getting crappy speeds for ages. It looks like Ubuntu will be the OS which I shall spend majority of my time from now on.
Now all I need to figure out is how to input of the character keys such as =, ‘ and @ in Ubuntu. Copying and pasting these characters is a real pain in the ass.

Recently, my desktop has been giving up on me. Since quite some time ago, my desktop has been lagging very badly, and some software wasn’t working as it should. The lag was often unbearable even when playing videos, especially 720p videos, and my system would often freeze for no reason. My Creative Media Player Video Converter would alert an error whenever I tried to convert anything, and my DVD burner just wouldn’t burn a single disc.
Some Japanese otaku’s workstation. The screens suck, but the layout’s cool.
Also, just last week, my power supply unit died on me after 2 years, so I had to purchase a new one. These are all telltale signs of my computer’s limits. I plan to change my desktop soon, but due to a lack of financial ability to do so now, I can only settle for a reformat for the time being.

Under the influence of my friends, I requested for a free Ubuntu installation disc online. That was weeks ago.
And I totally forgot about it. That is, until the package just arrived in my mailbox.
This is nothing to be excited about, but I find it rather cool that the package made it safely into my box. After all, some of my friends never received their package despite a long wait.
Stickers and the Installation Disc
I have never tried running Ubuntu before, but I have tried my hand at Unix using by running Backtrack2 from a live CD. The interface was a rather refreshing change, I must say.
From what I heard from my friends who have used Ubuntu, they commented that the 4 desktops on 1 PC element was rather cool. All you needed to do was to just click and swipe the mouse across the screen and you would be on the next desktop.
Alright, enough of talk. I shall go play around with Ubuntu now.
