Last night, I was awake many hours of the night because I was installing Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. It is absolutely beautiful OS with lots of easy administration. If you upgrade from 9.04 version, you will probably need 1-2 hours download and upgrade time to complete, but it is not much changed from 9.04 version. By the way, 9.10 was released on 29th October 2009.

So, if any of you are Ubuntu fan, it’s time to download or upgrade.

As nowadays, everyone seems to be have one netbook for each person, and you won’t feel left out, because you can also download ATOM version of ubuntu that is Ubuntu netbook remix and Ubuntu has optimized for your netbooks as well.

The software package manager is better than ever. Firefox Mozilla starts with 3.5 version. Overall, it’s really worth using it. I am on the verge of leaving Windows if possible. Of course, most of the working environments, It is very hard not to use Ubuntu, however, upgrade and security point of view, I think Linux aces on top of everything.

So, have you tried Ubuntu yet?

HP, the giant computer company, announced that they will release new netbook that can be used for full office hours on a single battery charge. That is very cool news for 9-5 people like me because it will enable them to work not only longer hours without charging the battery, it will also help frequently travellers to use the netbook longer than ever.

Mainly targeted for business users, HP 2140 is another type of netbook, which won many fans because of its operatability, low cost and extreme portability. 

HP's new Mini 2140 netbook is based on a 1.6-GHz Atom processor and comes with a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

I think this series will challenge the likes of Acer Aspire ONE and those other netbook models. This will improve the heat releasing system from previous version 2133 with 10 inches displa.  LCD widescreen display that can be set for a resolution of either 1024-by-576 or 1366-by-768. The 2.6-lb. machine also includes a built-in Wi-Fi connection, and customers can choose between a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

The finish is fantastic and the processor is 1.2 Ghz Via C7M processor and it looks fantastic. This HP beauty can offer several operating systems including Novell Inc.’s SUSE Linux, the Home and Professional versions of Windows XP, and Windows Vista Home Basic or Business.

So, What do you think? Do you want to get one for yourself? or probaby a present for someone?
