Again in Ubuntu

Following livid’s recommendation, I began to use Ubuntu since the 6.06 beta version. I kept using this great distribution until my previous laptop went broken. Later I bought a Thinkpad T61, however, the only OS was Windows XP. I planned to make the OS dual, but I did not take action until this week.

I got the 8.04 on my laptop now. With the Core Duo 2 CPU, I can take good advantage of the 64-bit version. Plus, the visual effects which kept unavailable on my old laptop can now play well. It’s really, really cool:

The window is bending by dragging

shadow effects when switching between windows

Cool things are much more, not only the appearance.

I cannot type Chinese now. It’s easy to get SCIM available but I wanna keep this system pure. It’s important to have a good computer, I think. This T61 can help me making many things true.
