Thank You!

I don't have much, but because God created freedom, I enjoy things that some tend to take for granted. There are those who still believe and that what gives us faith.

Ubuntu Administration Tips

Linux is different from Windows that every files in Linux has permissions. For example, when you need to open a document, you must have permissions to open it, or modify it. You must also be the owner or belongs to a group to modify the file. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add, modify and delete users and groups, in such that every file in your system will know who is the owner, or which belongs to the group.

Ubuntu Linux 3 Years Ago

When I had a first glimpse of Ubuntu, I said to myself, why not give it a try. You can run Ubuntu on a live CD without installing it to your drive. My first impression is that it looks nice and it's easier to navigate on the applications installed since it is categorized on the menu. After that, I took the plunge and installed it. Back then, there were tons of bugs that I try to fix it myself. As you can see, when I written my first Ubuntu blog, there were “hacks” to fix the problems in programs. But after 3 years now, bugs were fixed and I can do more with Linux as I'm writing this today.
