I just got back to Ubuntu Desktop from Salix OS. Install the latest version of Ubuntu desktop, which is version 11.10. The installation of this version of Ubuntu is quite different from the older version i used (8.04 I think). For the installation, I'd say it is much easier. The manually partition hard disk steps are simpler. But Ubuntu automatic updates of applications during installation is annoying. It took hours to finish the installation.

My friend asked me yesterday on how to view dns ip address in Linux. She used Linux ifconfig command but there is no dns information in the result. I told her to google because I felt kind of annoying. I know there must be something serious in her head that makes she forgot things. Otherwise how can she forgot a simple thing as viewing /etc/resolve.conf file?

Joomla is popular open source content management system. In other words, you can create a website, a blog or a portal with Joomla. I've known about Joomla existence several years ago. In fact, I've been using Joomla cms as a platform for my employer's website. I just want to share my thought about Joomla, my experience as a user. Perhaps it can help someone make a decision whether to use it or not.
