Migration

I have migrated to linux away from windows OS. Thru the years i have been, running linux since the early days way back 1996. At the time Mandriva and Red Hat was the distro of choice for me. I remember downloading using a 56kbps dial up modem. Last 2005 I was running OpenSuSE, and barely tried Fedora. However, i have not migrated until recently. I am running Ubuntu right now, started it under 8.10, also tested kubuntu. About a few months ago. I am satisfied with it, with the help of the community and a nearby server for the repositories. Its quite comparable to having a backup of your applications and softwares on a separate drive. I don't usually post to message boards to ask for help. For the reasons, there are lots of people having the same problem as me and have been discussed and Solved. Why would I waste time asking other people when you can find the answers yourself.

I came across last night regarding the benchmark of Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 into several tests, including a NPB, NASA Parallel Benchmark(NASA Advanced Supercomputing) between the two distros. Check it here. I am quite impressed with Fedora.

So I have downloaded a copy of the Live CD from Distrowatch for Fedora and tried it. I will change my main system to Fedora and review it further for a few more months.

What I miss is the Login Window Preferences (gdmsetup, gdm themes) that vanishes due to the accomodation of the boot-time speed Ubuntu is best heard of. They replaced it with xsplash.

I prefer to customize my login, so I was finding another distro that have it still in the package. Fedora 12 has also removed it on their latest distro.

But still, I am looking forward to switch to Fedora, It was Fedora 4 when i first used it.

For now, I am waiting to purchase a USB enclosure for my 160GB Hard Drive to backup my things. To fully migrate to open-source.

I still have a backup partition in my system that is running NTFS. I am planning to completely go for 100% EXT4 partition. Rendering my System to 100% linux from 90% linux.

Leiomyosarcoma

It is sad news to hear from a friend and a fellow rider, William de Gorostiza aka BigDaddyCool (NOS). That he have undergone a cancer treatment, firstly identified as a cancer in the Urinary Bladder. After the operation it was later found out it was Leiomyosarcoma. He said, provided that there will be no re-occurence he will be fine and undergo several chemo-therapy sessions.

I feel sad that a friend is fighting for life, facing an inevitable opponent and a miracle as a weapon. He have quit smoking for about a year.

I remember the days, I rode with him during NOS's first visit to Palaisdaan ride or was it the First circum-navigation of Laguna lake. visit to Caliraya Lake 2. During that time, we are both facing the urge and hardship of trying to quit smoking. I am still smoking to date, I hope I can find the strength to quit before it is too late.

I told him, maybe this is just a wake up call, that God is here to challenge his faith. God is kind, He has reasons for this. Please everyone, give 5-10 seconds of your time. Pray for his recovery.

Once a NOS always a NOS. You have NOS that will pray for your recovery BigD.

Globe tattoo unlocked

yes, a good heart from www.filhacks.com are generating unlock codes for free. when i asked about unlocking my huawei e-1552 at a local cellphone repair shop, they bid me for 400 pesos. why would i pay for that steep price when you can really get answers from the internet.

Huwaei E-1552 HSPDA USB Modem

we have this globe tattoo to have internet via the usb when our main internet is down. however in our area, smart has a better signal than globe. so our USB modem is locked to globe.

so we are trying to find a solution, instead of buying another device, we could just simply replace the SIM and move on. i found a lot of things in cyberspace, some asks for money others a free solution. so lets wait a few more days if we can find a good solution.

its good to be back here.lol

lol

its all here, ive been away and all.=D


good to see old archives.

restarting

i am restarting everything from scratch. too bad cant migrate everything here from www.pechay.net, well i guess for now. ive decided to discontinue it, and ofcourse www.manilagoldexchange.com, after a year of nothing. maybe someday i can stand up again and regain everything i lost when i was young. that's the thing when your young you tend not to mind what you have, and live a carefree life without thinking about tomorrow. a lesson learned, charge to experience.

i would restart everything, new life, same business plans, and a different perspective, plus a bundle of joy, my baby girl, "hamham" and my lovely wife.
