It’s so simple and easy to use. It’s like ... http://rocketshipunderpants.blogsome.com/2005/08/09/gaim-ym-and-tomboy/ Here’s what my Ubuntu desktop looks like: Sweet ain’t it? :) http://rocketshipunderpants.blogsome.com/2005/08/07/my-linux-desktop/ I haven’t been posting for a while because I’ve been pretty much occupied with tinkering linux.
