Ubuntu 5.04 and getting it!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I have this old laptop without a hard disk and its battery is not working but it is working great with Ubuntu 4.10 LiveCD — have a look here.

Now with the release of Ubuntu 5.04 I decided it was time to download the LiveCD for it but wow what an nightmare here in South Africa or for anyone that has dialup. I have an ISDN connection with InfinityCall (that means that there is a max call charge of about R9 over off-peak) so I try to download big things over weekends and I try to use and torrent.

So I tried over this weekend and it is a slow and tedious process and while it is downloading my Internet connection is useless.

So if anybody from Cape Town has Ubuntu 5.04 LiveCD on a CD available then give me a shout and I would like to get a copy from you. Yes I did order my bunch of CD’s from shipit but that will take a while to arrive.

I am giving up!

After the debacle of the rugby game yesterday between the Stormers and the Crusaders I have decided to five up my support to the Stormers. Until such time they look like a team that deserves to be in the top 4 of the Super 12/14, I will keep my mouth shut and say or write nothing.

I think this will be a long time since this year they not going to get anywhere. And with the new Super 14 next year I have even less hope. Please comment if you disagree.
