It's Ethics- It Surely links

Open source free software supporter is who I am.On behalf of that thought every chance I get I try to persuade someone to use the free software alternative if present.Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.Even then I totally love the way windows7 or xp works in my old computers when the unity fan ubuntu or anyone from the gnome family try to make my computer look oldish..(Oldish--Is that even a word!!) and compels me to look for XFCE or LXDE or E17 ..etc alternatives.

So as I was trying out the the distro named Linpus lite desktop 1.7 version on my USB and after trying many time it still did not boot from the usb(Yes,This have a very bad reputation on booting from usb).So I thought I may try the other chineese OS linux deepin from USB.But this time there was a different problem USB wouldn't mount because of not being able to read the superblock it says.So I tried doing almost every thing that the different forums told me to but it still couldn't do the needy and it showed this "Giving up".

So I thought I might format it using windows on my other computer but even in windows it was taking lot of time to read it though it was being listed in the MyComputer(I was partly happy as a small hope appeared out of nowwhere--And its still not DEAD).But windows was taking unusual amount of time to read the usb drive attached.Seeing this I closed the GUI showing the MyComputer and run the command prompt.

From my past experience from linux terminal I naturally didn't expect much from the MS command prompt.Even then I gave it a try .So I sat there for an hour doing things in the ways exactly as mentioned in the forums of windows

and Guess What ...!!!

I was wrong and I am now writing this on blogger while the next os is made as live usb using unetbootin in the pendrive that was made alive by MS command prompt.

Its clear that I do not know the technicalities behind it.But I sure know this
"MS Command promt made me happy today!!"

PS:The said USB was not mine but it was a borrowed from someone who had borrowed it from another.And I do not want to imagine the look of the face when I break this news to the *person*(notice the stars around it--it speaks).

I have in past two days been infront of the system doing nothing.So I thought I might change the blogger theme when I correct my previous post.Now both the task are done.I now need to get back to what I really want to do.So for that I going to make little sacrifice and discard all ongoing downloads and change my OS to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS(3year support).

The reason I am switching to xubuntu is for need of a faster system than a gnome based OS.As working speed and efficiency for all the new gnome or unity based linux OS's in older hardwares are nowhere in par with the standards of Microsoft Windows.

Plus,In addition ubuntu have dropped support for Non APE based system in their new LTS version(Support for 5 years).While lubuntu and Xubuntu have given support for Non APE based system(May be because they are aimed for the ageing hardware).

So to install ubuntu 12.04 in a Non APE based systems the following are the options :
1-Using the Ubuntu Minimum ISO
2-Upgrade from an earlier version of ubuntu.

So I have stop writing and have to get back to put xubuntu in my computer.

P.S : The title refers to the name of free blogger template I have used here.
