Congratulations to the future class of 2013! I'm looking forward to meeting you over the coming weeks through the blogs and, of course, CPW.
And now, here's a cute little something to brighten your day.
Maybe I'm a little crazy, but isn't that just too cute for words? :)
The video, Challenges at the Office, was produced by a alum friend of mine from SIPB, Waseem '07. The video's been entered in the Linux Foundation's "We're Linux" contest and it's been doing quite well. If you liked the entry, I'd really appreciate it if you took a moment to vote for it online, but no big deal either way.
Any other Linux users out there, among the current students or the prefrosh? What distro do you use?

I was a Debian user on my old laptop, but now I just run Ubuntu occasionally on my MBP through VMWare, and some open-source software (mainly Wireshark and GIMP) via macports. I'm just too much of a sucker for eye-candy to deal with X on a regular basis.

It also means your system breaks often. And then you have fun trying to fix it - it's the only and best way to learn :D

But... I'm starting to get frustrated with *ubuntu for Ruby development... especially with gems and Rails: rubygems repository version is 1.2.0 while everyone else is at 1.3.1!

It has a lot of spiffy features and the user interface is quite attractive (and minty fresh!)

I've been meaning to try the new Debian, but haven't gotten along to it.

There is a reason why more people use Windows than Mac--the "taskbar" needs to be on the botton by default.
I am using Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron.
I couldn't get the broadcom restricted drivers working in KDE4. Jaunty might work.
