Linux Distro Overview:Ubuntu

This is from almost exactly 2 years ago. That is pre-vista even. The software I used to record this was called Istanbul. I went into Ubuntu software manager and typed "capture" Istanbul came up, I checked the install box, and this it the result. The choppiness and bluriness is from Istanbul though, the actual OS runs perfectly. Also all the files I am showing in this video are off of the Windows partition on the hard drive. I really find that to be an amazing feature.


The machine that is on the video is a semi-decent box running: Athlon x2 4200+, 2Gb dual channel ddr pc3200, Nvidia en7900gtx.

The rest of the pictures are from a POS X-treme: Athlon xp1700, 512Mb ddr, 32Mb svg trio video card. Although fullscreen video is choppy when streamed, this lightweight box can run compiz-fusion effects pretty darn well.

I am currently seeking employment in the IT field. You can review my resume in your preferred format at the bottom of this page. I have been working in IT since I took my internship in the beginning of 2007. At the end of my internship, the 'real' Administrator gave his notice. I then had the wonderful experience of becoming the Systems Administrator, and that is when I really got the opportunity to to see 400% growth in the company in under six months! In a mission critical environment, there is a sense of urgency that school just doesn't have. With such a rise there was inevitably a fall, and I was phased out. I believe that as a sole administrator for a multi-site company helped to accelerate my learning,and I am more experienced than my years in IT would indicate.

Check it out for yourself.
