As computers have become the most important entity in our lives, it is with great pleasure that we decided to increase our family size by adopting one more computer. The specifications are as follows :
MOTHER board : Asus
FATHER chip : AMD athlon
Face : Acer LCD monitor
Memory : 1 GB
Storage : 160 GB
Child weighs normal and seems to recognise sound and light. Its tail (mouse) and fingers (key board) are fine and healthy till date.
(Here is Vennila posing with the new arrival. Sibling rivalry hasn't started yet. Don't miss photograph sent by Petra from Germany as wallpaper and Bharani's wonderful painting of Tiruvannamalai temple as wallhanging.)The main reason for this new arrival is our decision to migrate to open source and free software. For the last one week, we are almost Free. Ubuntu 7.10 is charming and enjoying the steep learning curve on everything related to linux. But, miles to go ...
Courtesy, the loan of Rs.20000 taken from the office and Tarsh's help to buy the parts in Bangalore, we got the computer. Like the saying in Tamil goes, after buying the elephant, we didn't have money to buy the chain. So, had to borrow again to buy the computer table and the UPS.
All is well right now.

Hi Manoharan,
Great decision to switch to Gnu/Linux in general and ubuntu in particular. Hope you will blog your experience in using it too and maybe some nice screen shots too.
all the best and happy new year to all of you.
