QQ on Ubuntu
I try to use Pidgin on ubuntu for everthing
But it seem that only MSN is working
Ironically, microsoft and other make MSN a very good IM environment. I got no problem login to MSN anywhere and everywhere.
Yahoo messenger also seem fails in this Pidgin
In babie Linux, the (Integate IM) also can not
get yahoo messenger login
But babie Linux got the integrated QQ for Linux
From there, I learn to download QQ for Linux
and it works well in Ubuntu
Forget about wrong password false massages
in Pidgin, QQ still want to maintain as a propiarety protocall.

variant and history of Linux
I study the whole day and night review the history of Linux
I have tried puppy and ubuntu Linux
I have try the Live CD on fedora
after break through the login screen.
I have to call Timonthy who gave the CD
and he advise is to ask Redhat on Monday.
However, I was lucky that this time,
the login screen went through quietly
after a long wait.
With Ubuntu, I think I dun see any difference.
So I put is aside.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_linux
"However, because Puppy is small-sized and can boot from many media, it is also useful as a rescue disk, a demonstration system, or for reviving old computers."
Yes, puppy and babie Linux still have that advantage.
Then I try to follow Google is up to
Interally they are using Goobuntu
The other indication is gOS
So Ubuntu has evolved from Debian Linux
and form a trend by itself.
So I think I will focus on ubuntu for a while

super user root
It take me some time to find out that
under Ubuntu you have to use $ sudo -i
to change into super user root
It is different from puppy
It take a while to get used to it
I do not how to do that in the file manager mode
I surprise I still remember sudo command after
my last experience with ... IBM AIX ???
and that is almost 15 years ago
Ha Ha

still got problem with ATI
I still have problem with ATI X.org driver
even though I think I have a ATI video card
After add the package
I reboot it and the video got corrupted
and the system seem to be hanged
I did it two times and still the same
I have to re-install two times
the Xfix during the boot menu does not seem to work
even though later I realised I can boot up from CDROM
and surf the Internet for solution
I found one and did not have chance to try it
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
second variety of linux
From the interest on Google OS
I thought it will be based on Ubuntu
but i end up trying puppy and babie Linux
When I end up accidentally in their websites
http://www.ubuntu.com.cn/
I like it better than Redhat
I like it as how the concept behind not only just the OS
I like it as the community set IT up structurely
So I download the iso image
and there is so many choices and I start with desktop
Since I am in Singapore using Singtel broadband
Surprisingly Singapore website is very slow
So I have to use Australia Optus (Singtel subsidy)
I got it download within 2hr
After boot up
I Choose Chinese as my main interface
It seem that it need more than file space in the hdd
So I wipe off my windows partition
I create a ext4 Primary partition and mount / (root)
(later I choose ext3 filesystem as to be compatible and read by puppy)
I did not set up swap partition but will do so in next OS setup
(a lot of this need lot of planning but i do it trial and learn)

Java setup
My nephew play RunEscape
So it required Java RunTime
I really need to recall my past UNIX experience and knowledge
as I have not touch UNIX for almost 8 years
I use the self-extracted version
http://www.java.com/zh_TW/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting
The instruction is quite ok
The most important I changed as the follow
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ./libjavaplugin_oji.so
root@kohfamily-desktop:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/plugins# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-08-15 01:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2009-04-20 22:03 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 2009-08-15 01:38 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_15/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
You must know which plugins directory, If not you have to do
for all mozilla, firefox etc
Once you got it works, that is most important

Start looking for Chinese Tiny Linux
This blog is recorded for my second interest in IT
This week I begin to setup Linux
The first trial is puppy Linux
I download from .iso image from
http://www.puppylinux.com/download/index.html
then I download a trial copy of nero burn and burn into CDR
I have created a Operating System bootable disk
After I boot from the CDR, and I was amazed that it works very well
