2007 was overall good. I got to learn lots of things, and got to do lots of things. Got to talk to lot of cool people. Though I wouldn’t forget that it also brought 7th semester which was like the most difficult semester I ever had. This semester probably took my anxiety level to top. Some of the highlights of 2007 are below:
mm, I want my Gentoo back. This is a funny article which says who uses what linux distro.

So, these guys they have collected some logos of some free softwares. Checkout http://raro.oreto.inf-cr.uclm.es/apps/stickers/ . It’s a cool collection. Right now, on my laptop I have got 5 stickers. (more…)
So, after having some problems with installation of Gentoo, I was thinking of installing something else. It was very bad that I couldn’t install Gentoo for some bugs that I couldn’t fix. I waited for long time, asked experts for this bug, no one could solve the problem. I finally installed Fedora 7. Yeah, I know I have been supporting Ubuntu, and still I installed Fedora. The reason being that one friend asked me to try it again. Don’t forget, my linux life started with Fedora Core 4, 2 year go. I kinda thought that I should try it again. The main reason of my separation from Fedora is that Fedora is backed by an enterprise and it releases its new versions so frequently. But his point was good enough. Fedora separates non-free softwares from free softwares. Thats a good thing, I think. Rather Gentoo and Ubuntu should start doing that. I was on ubuntu for just 1 week. Though I was feeded a lot that Ubuntu is better. I will give Ubuntu another shot and then will compare things. I still think that if I leave apart this non-free, free software repositories stuff, Ubuntu is better. At least it claims straight forward that it will remain free. Anyways, I used Gentoo for like 1 year. It felt good that lots of things were under my control. I am not linux developer or debugger, but still Gentoo gives me so many controls. I liked that.
