Ubuntu is a fork of Debian Linux as we all know, however from this fork we see many derivatives. Some of you may not like the default Gnome desktop or feel the basic install is missing something. Here’s a list of 21 derivatives of Ubuntu that you may or may not know about.

Well KDE does has its flaws I guess. My podcast is music based and I get CD’s all the time from artists through Ariel Publicity and in order to put them into my show I need to extract the CD’s into an MP3 format.

So weird getting back to 2D scrollers, LOL.

I decided to try out an online MMO called Vendetta Online. It’s a space type of MMO and it’s pretty decent. I’m just starting out so I am getting used to the controls and everything but it’s all in all a pretty smooth game.
