It’s been a while since my last update, several months in fact. The title is a no-nonsense summary of the things that have happened since my last post.
I’ll start with what I consider the most important. I’ve managed to get myself a job for the summer. It’s a 2 month placement in the University of Glasgow Physics department.
I run Ubuntu as my primary operating system and as far as I’m concerned it’s the best operating system out there for me. Linux has come a long way in the last few years, it has become a much more viable desktop OS – even for the computer illiterate, such as my parents – and although Ubuntu isn’t solely responsible for this, it’s certainly been a big part of it.
The latest version, Karmic Koala, is scheduled for release in October. I’ve been running it for a little while now and although it’s still unstable, it’s very usable.
