Introducing Ubuntu

I went to California this weekend and although it was not a business trip, I took my laptop in case I need to login and do some work. I stayed at my relatives house and alot of my family from California came over to visit. I really was laid back and not in 'computer mode' when a cousin of mine asked to see the magazine I had in my bag. It was a Linux Format mag. He began asking me questions about it and as I talked he began to see my passion for Linux in general. It was funny cause most of my cousins had brought their laptops as they were going to stay the weekend with me since we hardly see eachother. Since they were interested, I pulled out my laptop with Ubuntu loaded on and booted it up. Within minutes, everyone was excited about the eyecandy and the quick response. Needless to say everyone in Cali, is downloading the ISOs of ubuntu today.

It's cool to see people excited over free software. One of them even have an Apple Powerbook he purchased just recently. I just told them, if you can boot up the livecd and access your hardware then install ubuntu will probably be worth wild as it does everything I ever need from an OS and more. I of course gave them my update information in case they run into any problems or have any questions. I'm looking forward to hearing how they faired.

It would really be cooooool if you could actually download this mythical Lava Linux you talk about. Or, hey, is this like talking about Atlantis or Shangrila? Does it really exist or is it just a figment of someone's imagination?

LAVA is not mythical - if you took the time to look at the bottom of my blog you will see that I released a version last year 2.3 and you can download it from this site but I would not recommend downloading or installing it. Users such as yourself who do not take the time to even check out all my posts before posting sarcastic remarks rarely are satisfied with anything and I wouldn't want to put you thru any unnecessary trauma because I already know you won't like LAVA and I really don't want to hear anything that is not productive criticism. Thank you.

Yep looked at my blog at the bottom and the date of the post when I released lava 2.3 which can be downloaded off this site is Tues, August 7th, 2007 - Can I say bone head. Did you even look at my site?

I did look at the right side of your blog (to the right of "Intoducing Ubuntu") and I did left click on it to download it, but all I got was an error message. So, I right clicked to save link as, same result. Hence the mythical remarks.
