http://blog.dazedaboutdotcom.com –

The biggest problem was getting the internet to work; it just didn’t seem to want to work at all. That really put me off trying again for a long time.

http://maketecheasier.com –
I love Ubuntu as it is simply the best operating system that I have come across. If there is one thing that I dislike about Ubuntu, it has to be the desktop.
