Tweaking Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| I FINALLY decided to give Linux a spin after years of listening to Linux 
| supporters extol the virtues of the open source operating system.  
| 
| The opportunity came around when a friend who’s on a strict budget asked me 
| to find him a second-hand computer and by chance I actually had an old 
| machine lying around for him to use till he could afford his own.   
| 
| Why not Windows XP? Well, the main reason is that this machine is a pretty 
| old one, and only had a 450MHz Intel Pentium III processor and 256MB RAM.   
| 
| In this case, Linux is a relatively good choice as it runs well even on very 
| old machines and is also relatively more secure than a Windows-based PC for 
| people who don’t know (or can’t be bothered) to install and maintain the 
| battery of antivirus and anti-spam applications to keep a Windows XP machine  
| safe.

Embun: A Malaysian Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| Embun is a free operating system, based on the very popular Ubuntu Linux, 
| with a Malaysian flavor. The distribution was created especially for 
| Malaysian people that haven’t tried yet an open source operating system. Like 
| Ubuntu, Embun is a Live CD that you can try without installing, but if you 
| like it and you want to install it, there is an installation icon on the 
| desktop.

Outlook: Putting Malaysia on open source map

,----[ Quote ]
| Q: What is the best way to implement open source in an
| enterprise environment?
| 
| A: You don't have to go 100 per cent open source. In an
| environment, 80 per cent of the IT expenditure would go to the
| business software such as ERP, SCM, business intelligence,
| reporting tools, etc. This is where open source should be
| targeted at, where you can save the most.
