After all of the excitement from Dell's new Ubuntu machines, I was surprised to see a computer being sold with the popular Linux pre-installed. Sure, the general idea is that if Dell's Linux machines really sell, others may be soon to follow... I didn't anticipate anything quite this soon though. Ok, the real meat is this: I am here in Peru, and I just happen to be in a superstore not unlike Mega-Wal-Mart or something like that. And I also just happened to be passing by their computer section and much to my unexpected delight, the two computers sitting right there in front were smiling back the nice Ubuntu login screen. I have a little more hope now, if I lacked any before, for the wider spread of generally available desktop Linux. It's not every computer, but it's certainly a happy start. I like to see my favorite OS coming out to the public.

So, I left my house, my family and all to teach elementary computer classes in Lima, Peru. I still look back at times, to where I was last year, finishing my highschool education and preparing to enter the "outside" world. And now, here I am and I suppose that you'll see what things I encounter.
