A note of thanks to Ubuntu 9.04

In the last week, a new version of Ubuntu Linux, 9.04, was released. I got a copy and tried it out at home on my old Celeron-based Toshiba laptop. I had hoped, since Ubuntu 9.04 comes in a special netbook edition, that it might work well for an old laptop. Leaving aside the fact that most netbooks these days are better specified than this thing, it actually worked quite well once it was installed. The proof of this claim is that I composed this post entirely on a laptop given up for dead over a year ago.

PS - Thankyou Ubuntu for bringing my laptop back from the dead.
PPS - Not exactly like a zombie, but with a new personality for sure.
