I've just received my free Ubuntu Linux CDs I requested few weeks ago. It took a long time to travel from The Netherlands to Malaysia. I'm still fixing and configuring my old Pentium III PC for it.

If you are interested to try Ubuntu, download it or request for the CDs from the official Ubuntu website.

I see this as another reason to love Apple. With Apple's Boot Camp which is still in Beta, installing Windows XP on your Mac is getting even easier.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac.

Do you believe that Windows Vista requires 800MB of RAM? Here's the prove: Vista set to swallow 800MB of RAM [the Inquirer].

Microsoft is recommending that PC makers put a minimum of 512MB of DRAM on each PC but is strongly advising that manufacturers and consumers really think about going instead for 1GB.

I'm currently running on 512. I'm going to add some RAMs in preparation to upgrade at the end of year. I suppose the price will definitely rise, if the demand is getting higher after the release of Vista.
