Ubuntu 8.10
I’ve just upgraded my iBook to the beta version of Ubuntu 8.10.
It doesn’t look much different, but I’m liking the tabbed browsing in Nautilus already.
New keyboard
My much loved Belkin keyboard croaked it yesterday (or at least several of the keys now refuse to work). Today I bought an Advent ADE-KBW100, largely because it is slimline, quiet to type on, and didn’t break the bank. It claims to only be compatible with various versions of Windows, but not only does it work perfectly with Ubuntu, I can also use all 18 of the hotkeys without any further installation of drivers (which actually makes it more compatible with Ubuntu than with Windows XP).
Once again, another win for Ubuntu.
Weekend tasks
This weekend has been very busy with wedding preparations and socialising. However, I’ve still found time to install the latest version of WordPress on this blog, set up some backup scripts for all my home and work computers, and also to install KDE4 on my laptop.
I’m still not sold on KDE4, but I think it has potential. I may try and use it for a few days to see if it actually does what I need it to.
