Hg vs. Bazaar-NG

I have tried the two SCM's and I found that HG is more advanced in development than Bazaar-NG.
Although they share a good ammount of features Hg has a richer set of usable ones.
I have missed the tags from Bazaar and this is the main reason for that I have quite disqualified it. Anyways, both are quite likeable, much more than CVS or even Subversion.

My computer geek score is greater than 100% of all people in the world! How do you compare? Click here to find out!

Thanks Ubuntu!

I have received from Ubuntu's Ship It service a bunch of CD's with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
I have spreaded them among my friends, to the public library where they are willing to go on using Linux and some schools in my home city Sighetu Marmatiei.

Solaris 10

I had a nice experience working with Solaris 10.
After not so funny work with Solaris 8 and partially with Solaris 9 I got into Solaris 10 that was by far better than anything I have seen before.

Starting from the installation, that was clearer and simpler than before up to the software packages installed and the ease of use of the overall system everything was more than okay.

I have installed it on an old Netra 1125 SPARC machine and it is working surprizingly fast for a 440 MHz machine.

One more thing I want to add is that the Jumpstart installation went reasonably okay (aka I would like something similar on Linux...)
