Linux magazines!!!!!!

As there have not been a few posts for a while i decided to post on Linux magazine and Linux format.

After seeing Linux magazine in WHSmith I decided I had to buy it, I read through the whole issue and really liked it. A couple of issues on I found out about Linux format (LXF) I got given an issue by a friend and read it, I found it more enjoyable than Linux magazine, magazines are supposed to be interesting/fun aren't they? So I got one more Linux magazine and LXF and decided that I would get a subscription to not Linux magazine but... LXF! I would have got a subscription to both if I could afford it but I can't so by entertainment value I decided to go for LXF.

They are both GR8 magazines but I would go slightly more on the LXF side if I had to choose.

You Linux lovers out there should REALLY get a subscription to one of them as they are really good and it is much cheaper to get one then to buy it in the shop.

Ubuntu reinstall

I have had various problems with my Ubuntu installation:

Deb package installer not working, add/remove not working, compiz not working, etc.

So i decided to reinstall Ubuntu completely...

I backed up my user Dir onto my new 4GB (W00T!!) mem stick then made a Ubuntu 8.04.1 disk and tested it thoroughly then reinstalled Ubuntu (forgetting to make a backup partition :-( oh well...) and then installed Ubuntu studio and some other apps and walla!! It worked!!!

Few!!!

The only problem i had is forgot to show the hidden files when copying my user Dir so i lost my Uplink user file that i had been playing on (Dow!! :-[ )
