One day while testing the beta of Windows7 a message appeared: “This beta will expire in 6 hours”, or something similar. I had been thinking about making the switch to Linux, in this case Bill left me no choice. I downloaded the latest Ubuntu version, formatted my hard disk and installed the “Jackalope”.

I had tried Ubuntu a couple of years ago, and it took me two weeks to figure out how to install my video card drivers. Irritated I gave up backup then, because productivity was down to zero while struggling with an unknown OS. Luckily most Linux distro’s have come a long way since, including Ubuntu. The installation went smoothly, a pop-up appeared telling me that “proprietary drivers were available”. Even more, it told me that these drivers weren’t open source, and I would be depending on the manufacturer for updates, so the Linux community marked them as a “security risk”.
They worked fine nevertheless. I was relieved that most of my hardware worked “out of the box” with the new Ubuntu. Only my web cam didn’t, but I never used it anyway.

Since Ubuntu I have tried a couple of Linux distro’s on several computers in my home. Now I’m not a real expert, I only have a couple of months experience with Linux, but here are my findings:

Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope”
Very easy to install, graphical installer (but that goes for the other distro’s mentioned here as well). Most hardware works out of the box. Missing codecs bring up a search function, and most can be installed effortless. Very calming interface & colors (when I went back to XP for an hour, I got real nervous and agitated). Great desktop effects with Compiz Fusion, including Desktop Cube.
All in all a very stable OS, great looking, needs a little tweaking and post-installing. Why is my wireless re-enabled after each restart? I have to switch it after off every boot!

Fedora 11
Wins hands down on speed, absolutely the fastest distro I have ever seen. Brilliant. Very clean look and feel, feels like a computer hardware upgrade. Only basic required software is pre-installed. Codecs (even for mp3?) must be installed manually. Flash, Silverlight, xvid, divx… good luck with these (for experienced users they will not be a problem). A great light-weight operating system, but it needed the most post-install time of all distro’s I tried. Runs great on our budget Acer lap-top, except Firefox hangs on certain javascripts (anybody?)

Linux Mint 7 “Gloria”
Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, and it looks like a bunch of Ubuntu users got together and decided what to remove and add. The results are fantastic: a new menu with favorites, a better software installer with ratings and reviews, full-screen pictures and so on. All codecs are pre-installed! Flash, Silverlight, mp3, video codecs, plugins, addons, you name it. This saves me an hour or two after installing. Linux Mint has a color scheme that makes you question the Ubuntu-brown. There are many other improvements and changes, all in all I favor Mint over Ubuntu.
After installing this OS, it feels like you don’t have to do anything yourself.

Linux Mint Xfce Edition
Now this is a version that uses the Xfce Desktop Environment (instead of KDE or GNOME). I don’t think there’s anything wrong with KDE and GNOME, but when I tasted the more lightweight Xcfe desktop, I was sold instantly. To this day this is my favorite distro: a perfect balance between usability and speed. Faster than KDE, not too bulky, but also not stripped down like Fedora (Fedora it isn’t called “Core” for no reason). I just love its simplicity and stabilty.

Now some Linux pro could probably prove me wrong on all points, or show me a distro that’s even better. No really: please do!
But that depends on what you are looking for: for me the best mix between an easy install, a light-weight desktop and a feature-rich OS has been Linux Mint Xfce. Maybe when I’m better used to Linux I will run that mighty fast Fedora again.

I came across a web page that explained some things in a way that may sound far-fetched to most, but it makes a lot of sense once you see some of the pictures shown.

“As seen in the following pictures, the cores of the towers were not distracted by thousands of powerful cutting charges but by a modern thermonuclear explosive, a small hydrogen bomb. In the picture below, a hydrogen bomb explosion, the bomb having been placed in the cellar and directed to the core, has reached the roof of the tower and the upper parts of the outer walls. On its way up the waves of fire pressure partially penetrated about 100 floors of concrete and steel. Over ten million degrees of heat caused by a hydrogen bomb sublimised all water within the concrete in a moment. Water exploded extremely quickly into 24-fold volume and totally pulverized the concrete. Even people and computers that were in the buildings disappeared turning into heat and light. That is why almost nothing of them was found in the ruins.

Burning radiation is absorbed in steel so quickly that steel heats up immediately over its melting point 1585 °C (approx. 2890 °F) and above its boiling point around 3000 C (approx. 5430 °F). In the pictures down below, super hot groups of steel pillars and columns, torn from wall by pressure wave, are sublimized. They immediately turn into a vaporized form, binding heat as quickly as possible. Bursts upwards, even visible in the picture below, are not possible for a gravitational collapse or for cutting charges which are used horizontally.”

Now be realistic: is this a normal collapse?
