Hello

[Kush Singh]

Hi Alfred,

Also a recent convert since May-June 05. Been using hoary (which had snd 
card problems) and now breezy. Ubuntu is truly great and I love it. 
Specially the cutting edge tools now--eclipse, etc in breezy. I use d4x 
and httrack quite a bit besides gedit which has improved in this version 
as well as openoffice 1.9. Inkscape is another great software. Nvu is 
also helpful as a html editor (WYSIWYG).

But it takes time for the packages to be updated such as mysql 5 which 
has come now but version 4 is only available via synaptic (though i 
suppose it should be possible to get it directly installed from the 
tar.gz files) Had a bit of trouble getting acrobat reader installed in 
the direct way from adobe's site till i used synaptic for the adobe 
reader. (synaptic does not come up with the adobe package when "acrobat" 
is used but it is able to show the adobe reader when one searches for 
"adobe")

There are some packages not yet in the universe/multiverse such as the 
library automation software from koha.org.
Haven't searched for actuate yet or poseidon (UML tool) from 
gentleware.org/com. Also nerolinux is missing.

Am from Mumbai India though have recently come to Toronto Canada.

Cheers,
Kussh
