Over the past few weeks, the Pennsylvania Ubuntu LoCo Team has been working to launch our new site, MeetLinux.com.
They held their first meeting today, but being 3 hours away, I wasn’t able to attend. From what I’ve heard, an Install Fest is planned for June 2nd in Philadelphia. More to come as it is announced.

As I am home for a week off from school for spring break, I decided that it wasn’t worth the effort to bring my Ubuntu machine home with me. So now after about 6 weeks of using Ubuntu primarily, I am forced to use Windows XP once again for 9 days, as that is what is installed on my laptop. Already I am missing some of the basic abilities of Gnome, multiple workspaces. Multiple times I have found myself looking down to the lower right corner hoping to find the workspace switch, with no luck.
In good news, I am experiencing Verizon FiOS for the first time at home. We had it installed shortly after I returned to school for the spring semester. Below is the results from one of the speed tests that I have run since returning home. (Our plan is 5/2 Mbps.)

…but it was enough to close down Penn College for at least 43 hours. Here is a photo that I took of the snow earlier tonight:

So cold that the windows formed ice on the inside of our windows.

After playing Enemy Territory last night for a bit, I noticed my fan turn on to its highest speed. This wasn’t the first time that this has happened, but it had been more prevalent recently. Tonight I decided to dust out my laptop. After opening it up, I found a wall of dust…
I guess that is the problem with living in Campus View.

Just over a week ago, with the help of Aaron, I purchased and built my first tower. Specs include 2.13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB RAM, among many other things.
Since Microsoft was close to releasing their next operating system at the time, I decided that it was time that I ditched Windows for good. It is running Ubuntu 6.10, which was released in the fall. Over the past week, I have been tweaking it to fit my needs, and have also installed a few applications for the fun of it. These include Beryl and VMware Server. You can look forward to screenshots of both of these within the coming weeks.
