Last February 20, 2009 as part of the IT Olympiads 2009 was the Student Researches Presentation prepared by the PSITE XI, CDITE XI and CHED XI. The presentation was divided into two, me and my group mates Jasi, Kurt and Adrian were assigned to present our system at the Mini Auditorium together with Albores’ Team and there are 4 schools (UIC, ADDU, UP Min, USEP) who presented their research.
Here are some of the pictures took by: Jacque Lagbas of ADDU BSIT.

Yeah! Now I really done it! Installing Ubuntu to my laptop for second time and this time, it mean so much to me.. lol

I have an essential reason why I decided to install Ubuntu to my PC, it is because of VIRUS yeah! I don’t care if this a free or proprietary as long as it’s cater my needs. No matter how updated your anti virus is, still, spy wares and other suspicious scripts invaded my operating system, it’s Window XP i am talking about. You will just be shocked that your task manager suddenly disabled, the RUN becomes invisible and a very irritating sudden restart (grrrr). So I finally decided to use Linux since it’s an operating system that is free of virus.

You might thought that linux is hard to configure, you’re wrong! The Ubuntu 8.10 is the most user friendly OS I ever tried, it’ like a combination of the positive side of windows and mac in one interface. It’s so fast! although you will first get annoyed with package installation and terminal commands but in the long run, you will get use to it, and much prefer this way than the click next next finsh.

My most favorite feature of this Ubuntu is the Appearance, since the video card of my laptop is built in, it automatically detect by the OS and I used the extra visual effects that provides more aesthetically pleasing set of effects.COOOLLL!

I really really recommend this Operating System to all! it’s clean, its faster and virus free!

By the way, Ubuntu 8.10 is really good for new user, try it!
