Just Came Out-Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition

Don't have enough dough for Windows? Need a safe, secure open-source operating system that's free? YOU NEED UBUNTU! You have not seen a Linux-based operating system until you've seen Ubuntu! If we had a rating system on this blog, (witch I'm working on), i would give Ubuntu 5 Stars!

The new version just came out ( Hardy Heron ), and it is AWESOME! It is now my primary operating system. It has all the features windows does, AND MORE!

You can check it out here.

Free Software Of The Day:Disk Defragmenter

We all know that in Windows, it is a good idea to keep defragging your hard drive so that it can run at maximum speed. But is the one built in to Windows the most efficient and effective one? Absolutely not! But 22tech has found a program - Auslogics Disk Defragmenter, that is free and does a great job of defragging your HD, and it can also defrag removable drives/thumbdrives etc. You can get it here.
Here is a pic of it -



So, that is our recommendation, we hoped you like it!
