I know that yet now, all that I've posted is just personal experience with computer, but hey, isn't that what Blogging is for, otherwise i should've ran a forum. But i'm too lazy, i know, there lot's things in my mind to blog, but i'm not writing. Plus i should fix the comment problem, honestly, there are lots of things to fix in my blog, and even more to add, but it just working for me as it is now. I'll do them later, and i'll keep you posted about them. Till then, Tschüs.

About a month ago, i re-installed GNU/Linux on my Laptop, well as you know, installing GNU/Linux is much too easy today to what it was couple of years ago, but it still need some tweaking and hand-written modifications, what can i say, that's the beauty of it.

The Linux Counter Project, is a project to keep track of the number of computer users who use GNU/Linux as their operation system. I've registered there couple of years ago.

Yesterday as i was surfing the net i checked out this site to see how many GNU/Linux users are there in Syria. I noticed that there is only Damascus as a city in Syria, and there is no Latakia.

So, i contacted the webmaster to add Latakia, and he gladly did.

My story with GNU/Linux goes back couple of years ago, i tried many distros but none of them lasted more than month, sometimes not even 5 minutes, it was different back then, hardware drivers were rare, i knew almost nothing about, very few of my acquaintances knew about it either.

You can easily notice, that i haven't been blogging for a while, actually by counting the number of post i made, i can hardly say that i was blogging. Anyhow, i have started blogging now. You should see blog entries added regularly.

• I had no will
• I had no decent internet connection

well, that has changed now, for

This is my very first post using my newly installed ADSL line. After years of waiting, i have now the thing that i think is the right of every human being to have. The days of "either phone or internet" are gone, the headaches of hurring up to close the internet dial-up connection gone too, -hopefully forever- The ISP is Aya. The ADSL line is installed in my office, -FSEO- it's 256K not too much but for me it's perfect.
