Kubuntu - first impresisons

Kubuntu looks indeed very nice, customizable beyond imagination (thanks to KDE). Kopete, the instant messenger, is very configurable; the only thing I miss is the ICQ file transfer (in Pidgin it worked like a charm). As an alternative, one has to use either Pidgin, or Qnext for to be able to send files through KDE with ICQ. KDE is fast, when used without the effects. Did I mention it looks really nice? So far, I like Kubuntu, especially the new menu style the developers created (which resembles the SLED menu of GNOME).

Файловете са еднакви; за предпочитане е свалянето им чрез торент-клиенти, за да не бъдат претоварвани сървърите.

Как да се използва Убунту заедно с Уиндоус:
1ви начин - зареждане на две операционни системи (video)
2ри начин - използвайки wubi (все още в експериментална фаза); ~another link to wubi - page in English

After Ubuntu 7.04

I wish I had the time needed to read and learn about Archlinux (not likely in the next few months). I can remember an applicable joke for this:
[A surgeon sais to a friend 'You know, I can teach you how to perform a brain surgery in 40 minutes, but I will need 4 years to teach you some of the things you need to know, if something goes wrong'].
So, today I finally found some time. The few previous days, after I had tried the LiveCD of Ubuntu 7.10, I gave myself a heavy thinking about removing 7.04 and trying some other linux - Debian, Archlinux. I considered the time I will need to learn the other linux. Then I upgraded 7.04. After not that painless upgrade, I finally installed KDE (3.5.8), removed Gnome (maybe forever), and now all is configured. Nicely done, Kubuntu team!

A feeling of Ubuntu Gutsy

Here are just a few videos from people, that have tried the "testing" releases of Ubuntu Linux 7.10, codenamed "Gutsy Gibbon". Here can be seen shown some of the effects of Compiz-Fusion:

Some days left to Ubuntu Gutsy's release

Just thought, that I might use the counter from here: link

"Find as you type" feature

I saw this over the internet, can't remember the exact location though. Just wanted to share it though.
When using browsers (Opera, Firefox, Konqueror), the feature "find as you type" is being enabled by pressing the "/" button. And then just typing searches for text in the content of the thing being opened.
I find it very useful; one thing that I preferred in GNOME over KDE in Linux was the GTK's built in "find as you type", which allows for searching content inside applications (nautilus, rhythmbox, etc all have it). Well, as Amarok uses something similar, and now I can see Konqueror has it, I'm really impressed with KDE.
