I just downloaded the free iPhone OS 2.2 update. As an avid listener of podcasts I greatly enjoy the new ability to download additional episodes from within iPod and download new podcasts in the iTunes Store over the network.
I also liked the changes to the App Store. With limited time to test Mobile Safari, the new version seems more stable and less often crashes. After more time to test it out I will give you an update. Also, expect an update on my reading soon.

Recently I was pointed to Sun Microsystems free VirtualBox virtual machine software by my friend Michael Fey. I installed a VirtualBox and downloaded the free Ubuntu Linux 8.1(32-bit). I will be taking a class in Linux Essentials at my college next year for my computer science major. I thought that if I use Ubuntu Linux some that I will be more prepared for the class. I will be at least more familiar with how Linux is used on modern computers.
The installation was easy and automatically recognized my network connection. I have used Firefox 3 and the automatic package updater. I used the blackjack game that was built-in. It is a nice desktop. Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop. I will continue to use it from time to time and learn more about Linux.
