Ubuntu 9.10 still not for me


Yesterday I tried Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit release candidate on my old laptop HP NX6325 I have 3G of ram installation was realty fast but my wireless network was not detected :(, after installation I had problems with suspend/hibernate my laptop freezes after suspend ..after many hours of search solution on net without success I decided to test jboss with eclipse ...after starting jboss with jdk 6 64 bit ~700 M of RAM was used which is much more than was in win xp.
Another problem I had with my creative web cam ..my hp scanner was not working also so I decided to go back to win xp sp3 with this os my laptop rocks !
Many problems on Ubuntu I had also with software ..for e.g. I tried to use Wolfram Mathmematica 7 linux version after I applied all patches I still had ~20% of cpu usage on idle state of mathmeatica :( ...also many problems with linux software incompatibility with new kernel.

My final conclusion : linux evolution is remarkable but is still not a solution for home/multimedia pc

Free as a bird

I’m quit my job on October 9 mainly because of no perspective to learn something new and advancing in carrier. Doing bug fixing every day and just a bit of development…spending most of the time on configuring things and figuring out what’s wrong without creativity  is no more interesting for me…

Another aspect of this is the financial part my salary is the same in RON as 2 years ago  while euro exchange rate is approximately 25% higher than two years ago …so my real salary decreased with  25%..and because of financial crisis (in my opinion only a pretext) there is no chance of adjustment or renegotiation.

Besides I started my master study at technical university department of mathematics and I want to take it in seriously Raised Eyebrow … I must refresh topics in math Tongue.

For the future I want to develop a framework for 3D animation in ActionScript also I want to learn Papervision 3D.

…hm many plans … I must take my scjp 6 certification I have purchased the voucher but have no time to learn for it.
