There are so many free typing tutors and online tutors in the Windows world.

On Debian based distros you find many packages. Of them - try out ktouch and gtypist.

Install it using synaptic.

Keep half an hour of your day's time for learning typing.

shipit.ubuntu.com

Hi All,

This is for all those people who have no knowledge about shipit.ubuntu.com.

This is a website through which you can ask for free copies of Ubuntu latest edition.

Canonical sends the CDs free or rather ships them free of cost. I have many a times even asked for 20+ copies.

Today me being a lecturer at NIE Mysore - I decide to stop my ugly habit. I feel and also its better today that I have enough money as well as bandwidth to download one single CD and redistribute it to others.

This post was a thanks giving to shipit service of Ubuntu and of course for Ubuntu as a whole.

Thanks Ubuntu and its co,

Libre Office

Hi All,

Its indeed sad to tell that OOO is no more (OOO no more)

A new Office suit now exists which is a forked version of OOO called Libre Office.

The project was started as Document Foundation project.

And the ending - Oracle asks all those people who supported Document Foundation to leave... :(

Now in all its 2. First OpenSolaris now OOO.

May God bless those 33 developers who quit Oracle to start Document Foundation project.

Take care all,
