UBUNTU 12.04 LTS UPGRADED TO UBUNTU 13.04
Well everything was working OK for awhile and I enoyed working with it but some odd things have started to happen.
Now I am sure I am being watched closely and that my many blogs on here and the one on Wordpress is being...interfered with in some way is I get impossible numbers.
But lately I have had this version of Ubuntu start having... odd prblems not only with speed but when it comes to CRASHING it is actually beating Windows 2 points to zero, lmao.
Firefx keeps stopping and freezing making posting to these blogs a pain in the arse so I am going to update it to 12.10 and THEN update it to 13.04 of Ubuntu.
I ran the 13.04 version from a USB key and it seemed to run OK and had proper AMD drivers listed in details.
SO hoping that the rumours and things I read about this being faster are true. I also think that little news snippet that came my way, about Canonical going out of business is far from the truth but let us see.Oddly the person that told me of this then said a few days later that he was going to install Ubuntu?!
Anyway right now I am well into the 12.10 version update and hopefully by tonight 13.04?! So I am going from Precise Pangolin, whatever that is, to Raring Ringtail and I will not even know the name of the version that will not be on y laptop for 2 minutes, lmao!!
Woohoo!!

LINUX IN EVER MORE FLAVOURS
I am BEGINNING to try out over flavours of Linux and I did like the Mint one, at least to look at?!
Now..not sure how far I can get into this as I need more, not to mention faster SD Cards and/or USB Memory STUBS, lol, and time but I have ha both benefits cancelled so could be homeless in a few weeks putting an end to all my blogs, the ones with the false numbers presented to me, and my pursuit eo acquiring an income JUST...as I was about to start getting it...THREE MONTHS LATE AT LEAST, LOL.
Still I have managed to put PORTEUS on a memory card with a multi boot program called YUMI.
Alongside Porteus, which I thought was quite night and diminutive size and truly FEELS portable, I also added Linux Mint 11, which went wrong, and changed it to version 14.
I also installed Ubuntu 13.04 and that has been it for now.
I also have, and tryiing and managing to get my head around what they are, KUbuntu, XUbuntu, MythUbuntu, Zorin, PC Linux OS, SMS, SentOS, Fedora and likely a few others besides.
Now Porteus is designed to run from a USB Memory stick long term but I thought I could check out the others.
I did kind of like the GUI for Linux Mint with its Aero like look if I am honest but it oddly REFUSED o connect to my wifi hotspot and has been the ONLY Linux OS to do that?! A shame.
The trouble with other versions of Linux is that I am interested and hoping that something comes from the Linux Steam Client! As far as I know it is only available on Ubuntu and I presume this is ALL the Ubuntus?!
I was also shocked at the Ubuntu 13.04 as a look in the details section showed I had an AMD driver installed which probably means I can get Counter Strike to work as it refuses to under 12.04!
So I may do an upgrade especially as I keep reading that 13.04 is speedier that 12.04, which in all honesty can make Windows 7 look quick at times which for a Linux OS is somewhat shocking, lol.
I seem to have come to the conclusion, finally, that KUbuntu is a KDE Ubuntu and XUbuntu is a simplified X-Window driven Ubuntu?!
I am hoping to check them all out over the next few weeks and I would not mind having a go with Arch too!
I have to admit that outside of Ubuntu the two that caught my eye was Mint and Arch in all honesty. Now I have seen Mint I do thinks it is a better GUI but I want to play around to see if I can get the damn WIFI to connect and if the colours can be altered from the drab grey default colour.
I do like the way you can add widgets on it too. Had the more polished feel and look to it I found in Mint and oddly although I like the Unity Ubuntu look I did feel it needed work on the launcher as it is very limited in personalising it and that folding of icons at the bottom is annoying and fiddly and I had hoped that you could turn that off and just scroll with it.
