Thats a good question, all that time i had to view flash based content in my browser my processor suffered, and i suffered at the same time because the browsing pleasure was very low. On October 15 Adobe released a new flash - version 10. And guess what on the download page there is a direct link for Ubuntu 8.04+! Being a Ubuntu user from a couple of years i was very pleasantly surprised. I removed my old flash install and flawlessly installed the new version. With new versions there is always now hopes for better but not this time :( It crashed on the adobe.com page, second impression it kills my work Ubuntu box that is equipped with AMD Sempron 3000+. Watching a small youtube clip consumed 60 % of my processor resources. So nothing changed, i hope the first crash was just a single accident :)

Canonicals efforts to popularise the ubuntu server editions have some visable effects - Wikimedia Foundations adopted ubuntu as their server platform! That was something very pleasant for me to see. It definitely proves the reliability that ubuntu provides to is users. There is nothing that they have to proved to me - i use ubuntu from 4 years and i think its great, but there is still a lot to do to convince those hard minded Red Hat and Novell administrators that ubuntu is worth giving a try.

I found that one while reading linux haters, it is in deed the most bizzare reason to switch operating systems i have ever heard of. Check it yourself link. Funny and sad at the same time, but i think its mostly funny :D In fact i laughed my ass when i have seen it !
