That Time When Ubuntu was Number Two
May 28, 2007
My ass would probably be kick because of this by some Ubuntu zealots. Fine, I only want to write what I think without any bias. Yes, I used Ubuntu for some time. Nevertheless, I’m not a blind fanatic with it.
One of the interesting news on this past month is when Ubuntu declared not the number one distro in Distrowatch’s Page Hit Ranking.
Ubuntu, the over hype distro of all-time getting ass kicked by PCLinuxOS. So what? Sometimes we had to understand how it felt to be number two. How it felt down there…
But what is this has to do with us, I ask? Nothing! Nada! None! Would you change your lovely distro if it drop rank in Distrowatch? You wouldn’t, right? Therefore, this fact is somewhat meaningless. This kind of things happens and in my opinion, this means nothing at all.
Yet there were people who uphold Ubuntu with every breath they take. I felt sorry for them. Ah… the great religion war, you sure know what to expect…
Okay that was that. For now, Ubuntu has return back to its throne to be number one in Distrowatch. Don’t know what will happen in the upcoming days or months, well just wait and see…
In the meantime, let me go back to my Etch…. (wtf?)

Okay, life must go on, right? So with the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda and the recent festive of Pesta Blogger 2007. I officially announce that:
It's just around the corner, not very far away.
The reason? Well you can say that I'm getting bored with Wordpress and I want to try something new. But trust me, I won't move it anywhere else in the future, I will use patvandiest.com as my main blog, always. I promise you that!
So please... please update your bookmark, I will forever graceful if you do that. But if you are reading my blog through my Feedburner account, worry not, I will automatically update the link. That goes to my other social networking related link.
I won't delete this blog, though. I will keep it as past archives of my writings.
So, sorry for this inconvinience. I hope you don't mind. See you at my other room.
Sincerely Yours,
Patrick Gerard van Diest
