Political Penguin

Life’s returning to normal, if normal can be considered to living on 4 hours or so sleep a night and copious quantities of coke and lucozade to get through the days and nights.

Been an interesting few weeks but it’s given me the opportunity to play around with some new things.

First up on the list of priorities was the installation of the Linux variant Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron that came out on 24th April.

For your delectation, here’s a bit of the old YouTubing of my new desktop.

(Note: this is running on a Targa laptop with an AMD Turion Dual Core 64Bit processor, 1024Mb of RAM and a Nvidia Geforce Go 7400 256Mb graphics card. It runs almost as well on my crappy old desktop which is a Celeron D with 512Mb of RAM and a 6 year old second hand Nvidia graphics card that probably has something like 32Mb of RAM)

Update:

Should also mention that any jerkiness, black lines in the clip are purely down to the recording process. It’s actually beautifully smooth and very fast.
