My blog rises from the ashes :|
So, I've resumed my blog after 5 long years to note my new experiences with Linux.
Yes, All these years of using Windows (XP), I got infected (drive by exploit) with the nasty FakeAV antivirus for the first time in 11 years. This..in-spite of keeping my Windows all patched up with the latest frameworks, antivirus, antispyware etc.
I also noticed that my beloved ancient laptop (Dell Inspiron 6400, Core 2 Duo T5000 with 1G DDR2) of 4 years could'nt handle XP anymore. XP is now more bloated than ever before burdened with DotNet frameworks and its patches, Antivirus, Antispyware, etc.
Though I had Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) lying around as a dual-boot install, I hardly ever booted into it. So I decided for the first time in many years to start using Linux as my primary desktop instead. After doing an in-place upgrade from Jaunty to Lucid, my linux chronicles resumes.. ¶ 13:39
