Give it a try, Ubuntu 9.10

This release of Ubuntu numbered 9.10, named Karmic Koala shows that is created with the top world class technology used today. It's clean, simple and the graphic desktop interface (Gnome and KDE) run fine on older machines. This most popular Debian based distribution is very modest in system requirements. This means that you can use it on whatever hardware you run into that has at least 700 MHz processor implemented in it.



Recommended Requirements:

  • 700 MHz x86 processor
  • 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
  • 8 GB of disk space
  • Graphics card capable of 1024×768 resolution
  • Sound card
  • Network/Internet connection
The default software installed is followed by OpenOffice.prg, Pidgin and easy connection to services such as Yahoo, Gmail, MSN, Jabber, AOL and others. After trying this release Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Karmic Koala I realized that Linux based OS is more and more accessible to the average user today. Is both compatible for the beginners and for the Linux gurus as well. But this video will tell you more...

Open Source House

You are about to witness a quantum leap in design and accessibility of housing in developing countries. The event is the birth of an open source on the web that offers professional designs for affordable, durable, modular and climate-specific houses. The designs are brought in by architects from all over the world and are continually under construction in search of the solutions most suitable to the needs and preferences of the local buyers and future owners of these houses.


We want to make knowledge and creativity in housing accessible to a large group of people and are looking for architects to bring in new ideas. Welcome to Open Source House.

What is reality?

If we go inside the atom, the very nucleus that this universe is created from, and if we zoom in very, very deep will go inside this other universe that also does not have borders!? So we come to conclusion that reality is only that what is based on perceptions. I don't know what I've just said now but it came to me... :0. This perception of reality that we perceive, is received by the senses. I definitely cannot explain this in plane English, but some people tried to explain, and one of them is Immanual Kant. Kant is German influential philosopher of modern Europe in 18th-century, the classic sequence of the theory of knowledge during the Enlightenment beginning with thinkers John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume.

He explained:

All the preparations of reason, therefore, in what may be called pure philosophy, are in reality directed to those three problems only [God, the soul, and freedom]. However, these three elements in themselves still hold independent, proportional, objective weight individually. Moreover, in a collective relational context; namely, to know what ought to be done: if the will is free, if there is a God, and if there is a future world. As this concerns our actions with reference to the highest aims of life, we see that the ultimate intention of nature in her wise provision was really, in the constitution of our reason, directed to moral interests only.

If you understand what he just said up there, please do comment to explain to us...?


And further element to the puzzle is this video documentary about the reality and atom. 'Atom: The Illusion Of Reality' is a BBC Documentary on the nature of reality, the emptiness of an atom and all matter, parallel universes where different versions of us exist and the seemingly emptiness of space which really isn't empty at all.
