<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now that <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu" target="_blank">Microsoft has pulled the plug from Windows XP and it is no longer supported</a>, here is a new post about an interesting topic that I'd like to share with all of you :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Before, I'd like to thank all those who viewed and shared my previous post: <a href="http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2014/03/startubuntu-howto-choose-system-based.html" target="_blank">StartUbuntu-HOWTO Choose a system based on your hardware?</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'd also like to thank each and everyone within <a href="https://launchpad.net/~startubuntu/+members#active" target="_blank">StartUbuntu Community</a> who did their best to spread the word and helped <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu" target="_blank">StartUbuntu Project</a> to grow bigger and better. <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>You're the best</b></span>. And of course, we can't forget others who didn't join our project but heard about it and helped and also those who haven't heard yet about StartUbuntu but helped because they simply believe in FOSS Philosophy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu" target="_blank"><b>StartUbuntu</b></a> Project as I have explained many times before has just started and will not stop at this point.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, after this introduction, I will share the <u><b>first part</b></u> of:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Things you will miss when you start using GNU/Linux</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">When you will migrate from Microsoft Windows to GNU/Linux, there will be certainly some steps/things you used to do when you were using Windows and you no longer need to do that any more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">In Part 1, I shall list 10 of these things that you will miss badly ;)</span><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can 'Try' a GNU/Linux system 'Before' you actually install it on your hardware. Either by using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD" target="_blank">LiveCD</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB" target="_blank">LiveUSB</a> or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine" target="_blank">Virtual Machine</a>. You don't have to 'install' and waste your time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"> To <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives" target="_blank">StartUbuntu</a> or Start using <a href="http://distrowatch.com/" target="_blank">any other</a> GNU/Linux system, all what you need to do is to download the system from the internet <b>FREE</b> of charge without paying to anyone anything whatsoever.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You're no longer in need to upgrade your 'Hardware' to use a modern new Operating System. You can enjoy the latest technology - now we're in 2014 - with your current hardware. Save your money for something else.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Because of #2, you are no longer required to enter long 25 digits serial license key in order to install a GNU/Linux Operating System.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most of GNU/Linux Distributions - Specially <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives" target="_blank">Ubuntu and its official flavors</a> - will be installed with many applications/programs by default. You just need to install your favourite ones if these aren't installed already by default.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You don't have to open your 'Browser' and visit any 'Web Site' to 'Install' any program/application. This can be done within your system either by: <i><b>Terminal</b></i>, <i><b>Synaptic</b></i> and/or a <i><b>Software Center</b></i> and all these 3 methods are available with <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives" target="_blank">Ubuntu and its variants</a> by default.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">No more <b>'Right Click > Refresh'</b> to your Desktop. You will miss this one so badly.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You're very lucky that you no longer need to use <b>Internet Explorer</b> to install a better browser. A better browser is installed by default when you install <b>Ubuntu</b> (<i>or any of its official variants</i>) or any GNU/Linux Distribution.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">No Anti-Virus or similar programs are needed any more.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">And, in most cases, you don't need to install any 'Drivers', your machine will just work '<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_box_feature" target="_blank">Out Of The Box</a></b>'.</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is <b>Part 1</b> and hopefully, when I got more time, I shall write <b>Part 2</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you so much for your time and please spread the word if you find this post is useful :)</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, Hello March :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We're 36 days away ... tick-tack ... tick-tack ... <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx" target="_blank">Microsoft Windows XP will be dead</a>!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To put that correctly in a more technical sentence, Microsoft Windows XP will very soon (<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx" target="_blank">after 36 days</a>) reaches its End Of Life (EOL) and will no longer be supported.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What does this mean?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The answer is <b><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx" target="_blank">right here from Microsoft</a></b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu" target="_blank">StartUbuntu</a> would like to make your life easier. So, here is a very quick and easy guide that should help you to choose the right system for your machine <b>'according to your hardware'</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As everyone may know, <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu" target="_blank">StartUbuntu</a> as for now, promotes only for <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">Ubuntu</a> and its <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives" target="_blank"><b>official variants</b></a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Oh really? so when StartUbuntu will possibly promote for other systems? I'm not a fan of Ubuntu?"</span></span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Basically, StartUbuntu did not yet reached to <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu/MasterPlan#Phase_6" target="_blank">this phase</a>. That is why, it is too early and above all, <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174725&p=12936756#post12936756" target="_blank">giving a newcomer to Linux so many options is the worst advice in Computers History</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So where is that guide?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is right here ;)</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><u><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Technical Note: </span></b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unlike Microsoft Windows, Linux is very well-known of its capability to run on
old machines with very limited resources (CPU, RAM and HDD). That said,
Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME <b>can indeed be <u>installed and work</u> on a
machine with <u>only 1GB RAM</u></b>. However, <b>'the performance'</b> of your system will
definitely not be as same as running Xubuntu and/or Lubuntu :) so, to
play it safe, I have decided to put Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME
under '2GB RAM and more' for the <u><b>'best performance'</b></u> ;)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have always wanted to write/talk about this and I am glad that I finally got the chance to write about it :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the last 4 years with many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software" target="_blank">FOSS</a> (Free Open Source Software) Communities/Projects, I have noticed a very <i><b>weird</b></i> ... not sure what can I call it? a behaviour maybe?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">While so many people involved with FOSS Communities and Projects are sending so many emails per day and sometimes, very long emails ... or posting on threads (forums) or write on any public site that is visible by anyone with an Internet Connection; they do tend to start their writing <u>WITHOUT Just <b>One</b> Word</u> that will never take more than <b>1 second</b> maximum from their time :) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And, the reason I called it '<i><b>weird</b></i>' because they do 'write' so many words and send so long messages, yet they <i><b>failed/refused/forgot/ignored/didn't care/I don't really know</b></i> to write Just One Word? seriously? :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I mean, really, what could a one word like:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello </span></a></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">or</span></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">actually do?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It will never ever waste their time (while again, they do write a lot of words except "Hi" or "Hello") and the impact that will do is really amazing :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />You may laugh. You may think I'm crazy. You may think I'm wasting my time over a trivial/silly thing. Well, do say and think as you wish, I don't mind :) do disagree but don't disrespect. And, to me, I find it VERY important to start any email or any written communications with:</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hello</span></span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">or</span></span><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi</span></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This will never harm anyone nor kill anyone nor waste time for anyone. On the other hand, it could draw a smile on the reader's face. It is a very kind and nice way to start a written communication.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why FOSS Communities/Projects are lacking of<b> just one word</b>?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I really fail to understand why :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, if there are a chain of emails/posts/whatever, then of course there is no need to keep writing "Hi" or "Hello" - even though it is nice thing to do and I've seen <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=508533" target="_blank">people on Ubuntu Forums</a> who always start their posts with either "Hi" or "Hello" but they're very few. But it made me always wonder what is the real reason to always skip writing that on the beginning of a written communication?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, not sure there is an answer for that Question :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For me, I will always use it and hope others will start using it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be honest, every time and I really mean every time I see an email/post/any written communication that does not start with "Hi" or "Hello", I feel bad and don't wish to read. And, exactly the opposite happen when I see an email/post/any written communication that starts with "Hi" or "Hello" :) it makes me feel good and make me carry on and read that with passion.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just a thought I had for a long time that I want to write about it publicly and who knows? maybe one of those who don't like to start their writings with 'just one word', might have an answer for my question ;)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for reading :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">P.S.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you agree, please <b>Share</b>!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Spread the 'nice' attitude of writing Hello or Hi :D</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As they say: "Expect the Unexpected.", I have indeed learned a lot from this real life experience. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With each and every machine (PC and/or Laptop) I convert to Linux, I learn new things from new and different story. Each device brought new challenge. This reminds me of the fact that there is no one who knows everything and it also reminds of: one keeps learning until the last breath of his/her life :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That said, I'd like to share one of the latest adventures of mine and by far, one of the most interesting and useful experience which I have learned a lot from:</span></span><br />

<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2202967" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How can I restore the data on an USB Flash Drive that got wiped by a virus?</span></span></a></h1>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am afraid I have no time to do much expect writing this post. The thread on the above link is very clear IMHO. Many highly skilled, experienced and very helpful friends and contributors on Ubuntu Forums have done their very best to help. It is reminding me of my golden days with Ubuntu Forums and <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1812877" target="_blank">the great technical support that I had given for many</a> and learned from others. One day, maybe when I retire from all what I am doing now, I may go back for Technical Support ;) as for now, I'm afraid I have no time for it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope this experience will be helpful for you too :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thanks!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />P.S.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">By the way, the moral of this is:</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">"We didn't fail, we just found 10,000 ways that didn't work."</span></span></b></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Also,</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hello everyone,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was over excited that I started <a href="http://amjjawad.blogspot.com/2014/01/goodbye-windows-xp-hello-linux.html" target="_blank">my first post</a> in 2014 on this blog with something else rather than greeting the readers or write an introductory post for the new year hehe.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, I have posted this on some Social Media Sites for Ubuntu GNONE, Lubuntu, StartUbuntu and my pages:</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">apt-get purge 2013 -y && apt-get install 2014</span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wish it is as easy and simple as this :D</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As per Microsoft, Windows XP will soon (3 months from now) die and will NO longer be supported. What does that mean?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help" target="_blank">Please read this</a>.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Now, Microsoft, because as you may know cares about money and nothing but money, have NOT and will NEVER tell their loyal and faithful Windows XP Users about 'other' alternatives they may use. Why? because they do NOT wish to lose any user who is still paying and can be fooled by their words, etc.<br /><br />I sent to Microsoft an indirect message:<br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/Start_Ubuntu/status/419017785113456640" target="_blank"><i>"Give me 1 good reason why to upgrade to Microsoft Windows 7 or 8 OR buy new hardware & I give you 10 reasons why to StartUbuntu"</i></a><br /><br />Indeed, I can give you easily 10 reasons why to switch and start using Linux: </span></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Super Fast (starting up in less than 60 seconds and shut down in less than 15 seconds).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Super Secure (no more worries about hackers).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Virus-Free (you don't need to use any kind of Anti-Virus Programs whatsoever).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Super Stable (No formatting every month and no need to clean any files, etc).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Very easy system (used by 4 years old kids up to +60 years old people).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gives you so many options and alternatives when it comes to the Graphical Interface. Does not force you to use the same interface (Windows 8 for example, as per the users, is very complicated and hard to use).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Linux is Free Open Source Operating System. No serial numbers, no cracks, nothing.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are so many people who would love to help and support in case you have any kind of problem and all that for FREE. You don't have to pay to get any kind of support whatsoever.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Almost for each Windows Application/Program, there are more than one alternative for that in Linux and you don't have to visit any website to install anything, there is a tool installed by default that makes your life easier.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You do not need to buy new hardware to run Linux. It can be installed even on +10 years old machines. So, it is not just free but will definitely save your money.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And, there are more reasons :)</span></span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For example: Windows Updates most of the time break the system or make things worse and you can't shut down your machine unless the updates finishes, etc not to mention the time these updates take to be downloaded and installed. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But, when it comes to Linux, all that will be done in a blink of an eye :)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Installing Linux will take between 5mins-30mins depending on the hardware you are using and it comes with pre-installed programs that in most cases you don't really need to add anything else unless you have a very specific applications/program :)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can actually 'Try' Linux 'before' installing it on your hardware ;) you don't really have to actually install it to test it.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Linux is actually being used to SAVE or Rescue your files (backup) when your Windows is broken or not working or your machine is locked due to some viruses, etc.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Is that enough? or shall I carry on?</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I gave you 10+4 reasons why to use Linux instead of</span></span></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Upgrading to Windows 7 or Windows 8.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Buying New Machine while your current one can still do wonders.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, my request is simple:</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you still have Windows XP on one of your machines OR you know someone who is still using Windows XP, please do send them 'this' article or post. They need to understand that the era of being fooled or lied to by Microsoft is over.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Oh, by the way, have you ever wondered why Google Android is #1 selling system for Smart Phones? Guess what? the core of Android System is Linux :)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please, spread the word and save your money + your time + stay away from headache.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><u><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Update:</span></span></b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Please, check "More about this project" Section</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Join Us!</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">While the name is not yet decided to be the final name of <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2130718" target="_blank"><b>this project</b></a>, the idea remains as it is and I am glad to announce that today, I have found someone very interested to join and team up with me in order too work on this project :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nio (<i>AKA <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1499021" target="_blank">sudodus on Ubuntu Forums</a></i>), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2BYU0_3mUY" target="_blank">the founder of One Button Installer (OBI)</a> has showed a great interest to join and team up for this project.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to invite everyone who might be interested to join us and start the ball rolling :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>More about this project: </b></u></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Recently, we had a nice brainstorming session on <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/101281875711197058405" target="_blank">my Google+ Community</a> and so far, there are two options/opinions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A- Use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as the base for this project</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">B- Use Ubuntu 13.10 <i>(or 14.04 which is still on the early stages) </i>as the base of this project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, everyone needs to know the main focus on this project and the main target - will explain that soon.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, there is an option to have a build on Debian because Debian is 'still' supporting i486 while Ubuntu does not. What does that mean? it means hardware with NON-PAE CPU will work out-of-the box if this project will be based on Debian.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<u><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is the main focus on this project?</span></span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The main focus of this project OR the reasons behind creating such system:</span></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Create a super minimal lightweight system for <u><b>old</b></u> machines.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Create a super easy and simple system that just work.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A system for those who don't mind building their own system from a base system with very few packages.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">These are the 'major' reasons.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because of that, this system must have very few packages/applications:</span></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Terminal</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">File Manager</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Browser</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Synaptic (optional)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Super lightweight DE/WM</span></span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I do hope these information will answer some of your Qs in mind :) please do ask if you are in doubt and I might update this post with more information if required.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Important Tasks to be done:</span></b></u></span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Choose a name for this project - the current name needs to be changed.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Decide what DE/WM we will use - some votes so far are going for Openbox but we are still brainstorming :)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Decide how many builds do we have to make and based on what system?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Recruit more contributors</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">From [25-8-2011] to [5-12-2013], a very long journey with <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu" target="_blank">Lubuntu</a> which I'd lie if I tell you that I can summarize what happened during all that time in few words. It is history. NONE STOP 24/7/365 and yes, I was addicted and loving it. However, it is time to stop, move forward and seek different challenge.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2013-December/006338.html" target="_blank">The last email</a> has been sent :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All what I managed to summarize was on this <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/Lubuntu-Team" target="_blank">Wiki Page</a> which is a list of what I have done for Lubuntu.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am out of words at the moment. You see, these are not just two years and few months, to me, it was a life time and feel like 10 years. Trust me when I tell you that I really can't list what happened over here ... simply because A LOT had happened. Both Good and Bad moments. Happy and Sad. Positive and Negative. Up and Down. It is a Life Time, It is History Now :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thank you to each and everyone who had come across my way. I have gained so many good friends. Thank you everyone and I mean everyone who was and still involved with Lubuntu.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I do wish you a very good luck and all the best :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Will never turn my back on you so whenever you need me, please do contact me :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sad but true, Lubuntu is without Ali/amjjawad.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Good Luck, Lubuntu!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today, is a very sad day in my life.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have lost a very good and true friend. She passed away after a long struggle with illness and I still can't believe it. It is hard to find good people with pure heart and wise too. I am speechless.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Also, I have had enough from banging/hitting my head against the wall for more than two years. Since August, 2011 and until date, I have done MORE than I could for Lubuntu Community but it seems whatever I am doing is going no where but to a dead end. Yes, there are progress at some points and there are many achievements but apparently, I have managed lots of things except moving moutians. Therefore, I sent <a href="https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-brainstorming/msg00217.html" target="_blank"><b>this email</b></a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A good friend from Lubuntu Community told me that no matter how hard I try, I can't move the mountains and I am NOT suppose to do that anyway. He said, that I must believe in "Dead Ends" but I refused to listen and decided to carry on. Few days later, I came to truly understand what was he talking about and I realized, that no matter how much you want to do something and how hard you try, there are something in this world that unchangeable and there is nothing can be done.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">However, the good news is, as I always try to do, I am trying to use this negative energy and turn it to a positive one and moral of this story and lessons learned from this is:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Good People with Pure Soul and White Heart will Never Ever Die, simply because, they live in our hearts and mind. To my very good and true friend, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LuxDivina" target="_blank">Lucia</a>, may she rests in peace.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Too Much is Too bad.</span></span> </li>
<li><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“</span></span>I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that didn't work.</span></span></i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">”</span></span></i> - Thomas A. Edison</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” </i>- Rumi.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I think despite what happened today is sad and what could have happened and considered happy, regardless of all that, this is all called Life and life must go on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><i>“</i>C'est la vie!</b><b><i>”</i></b></span></span></blockquote>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> And, I shall never give up nor surrender, I shall just move forward on different direction and you my good friend, you just rest in peace and leave me to deal with this crazy world :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the things I really love about Linux (Ubuntu) Communities is that one Question or Problem could become a Community Debate/discussion where many get involved and start brainstorming, discussing, agree or disagree, share thoughts and ideas, etc. That is, for sure, one of the strong feature of Linux and Ubuntu specifically.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Having that said, today, a Hot Discussion has started over the Mailing List because of <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2183287" target="_blank">this Thread on Ubuntu Forums</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While there is <b>NO DOUBT </b>the User has done a serious mistake by <b>NOT</b> <u>backing up</u> his/her Important Date <b>'BEFORE'</b> installing Ubuntu, there is NO WAY to blame the system since each and every Operating System in the world will only accept commands from the user and if the user will assume that the system will 'actually think' and 'read' the user's mind, this is the user's fault. The whole thing could have been avoided by doing a <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>simple backup</b></span>, that is all :) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It did not stop right there, the discussion went to another direction or point which is:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/msg00648.html" target="_blank">See this Email</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If truth to be told, I am sick (having bad flu) and my concentration is not at its best, obviously. After sometime, I realized the issue reported on Ubuntu Forum has nothing to do with the Email in a way. Why?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Because the mistake that the user did was simply failing to 'READ' carefully on this slide:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And, to anyone who can read, it can NOT be more clear and obvious as the warning is quite clear and readable.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While the Email is talking about this slide:</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now, if someone has failed to 'read' what was written on the first slide, I could expect nothing but he/she will have hard time with the second slide (Partitioning Slide).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<u><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I personally think is:</span></span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">ANY User who is willing to install Ubuntu or any of its official flavours, he/she MUST be aware of:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1- Backing Up his/her important Data before even downloading the ISO</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2- READ/WATCH a HOWTO Install the system so that he/she will understand what exactly to be done, specially, if he/she is a newcomer to Linux/Ubuntu.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HOW TO Solve this?</span></u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The solution is very, VERY easy and simple:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihm1pwUiEvForzBNCaTkVKconmMiQyPtZVXBWUEbIX3S_kXg-IZXpt3-mfPTk2sDVCjlqUld0wGfpmKLa1mHXl3ggF43-TsJsfvGEt9JfUu67vHhASfv_Cq_qgjkniZSOSqGEgkEunMmrH/s1600/2013-10-24-215435_1366x768_scrot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihm1pwUiEvForzBNCaTkVKconmMiQyPtZVXBWUEbIX3S_kXg-IZXpt3-mfPTk2sDVCjlqUld0wGfpmKLa1mHXl3ggF43-TsJsfvGEt9JfUu67vHhASfv_Cq_qgjkniZSOSqGEgkEunMmrH/s1600/2013-10-24-215435_1366x768_scrot.png" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1- Mention this Note:</span></span><br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />"Please, make sure to <strong>backup</strong> your files and important data before anything else. Do not assume that Ubuntu GNOME will do it for you automatically."</span></b></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></b></span></span></i>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2- Create a <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>YouTube Video</b></span></span> and add the link as shown above.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">BOTH</span> </b>the note and the video MUST be added to the Download Page either on the Website OR the Wiki Page.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That is all.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">IMHO, there is absolutely <u><b>NO NEED</b></u> to do ANYTHING else extra. I don't see any thing wrong with Ubiquity.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anything to be added will cost time and efforts. Time to discuss, time to start working and and etc. It might be trivial and so easy step to be done by an Ubuntu Developers but the time to do it + the time to discuss whether to do it or not + the time to discuss WHAT exactly to be done = WASTE OF TIME!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Instead, leaving a simple note "Backup your data before you download" and to go the extra miles, create a video that explains how to install Ubuntu with all the possible options and upload it to YouTube and JUST include the link on the Website and/or the Wiki Page ... all that, IMHO could save time and efforts and has another benefit: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Those who are so scared to install Linux will NO longer be scared whenever they will 'WATCH' and 'SEE' and 'LEARN' how to install the system. Once they do, they will realize how easy it is and will fear no more :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That is what I think :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thanks! </span></span><br />
<br />

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">في ابريل,2013 اطلق <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/" target="_blank">علي لينكس</a>, أحد اكثر اعضاء فريق <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu" target="_blank">لوبنتو</a> Lubuntu نشاطا (و حاليا قد انضم لمشاريع اخرى و اكثر من فريق اخر), مشروعه الذي يحمل عنوان</span></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">الفكرة ببساطة من وراء هذه المبادرة هو ان نسخة الويندوز اكس بي (Windows XP) الشهيرة من شركة مايكروسوف (Microsoft) و التي تم طرحها قبل 12 سنة و تحديدا في 2001 <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx" target="_blank">سوف تنتهي صلاحيتها بتاريخ ابريل 2014</a> حيث ان الشركة الكبيرة مايكروسوفت سوف توقف اي تحديث على نسخة ال اكس بي و بالتالي تصبح خطرة جدا و عرضة لاي اختراق او فايروس.</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">وبطبيعة الحال و كما جرت العادة فأن مايكروسوفت قد بدأت فعلا للتحضير لهذا اليوم و عوضا عن تقديم هدية بسيطة للولاء المطلق الذي دام 12 سنة من قبل مستخدمين ويندوز اكس بي قامت الشركة بتوفير خيارين فقط ﻻ ثالث لهما:</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1- شراء كومبيوتر جديد يدعم ويندوز 7 او 8</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2- عمل ترقية للنسخة من اكس بي الى ويندوز 7 او 8</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">و بكلتا الحالتين ف المستخدم سوف "يدفع" مبلغ و قدره ... دولار لقاء هذه الخدمات العظمية من الشركة :)</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">باختصار مشروع StartUbuntu يضع النقاط على الحروف و ينشر ثقافة المصادر المفتوحة و يخبر العالم من شرق الارض لغربها ان لينكس Linux هو الخيار الامثل لاي جهاز يوجد عليه نسخة اكس بي و خصوصا الاجهزة القديمة التي لن تتحمل التعامل مع ويندوز 7 او ويندوز 8. كما هو معروف فان بالاضافة لكون لينكس لن يكلف شي يذكر فانه اسرع و اكثر امان و استقرار و ﻻ يحتاج من ينصب هذا النظام لعمل Format او اعادة تنصيب الخ ف نظام اللينكس يختلف كليا عن الويندوز.</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">لقد اخترت من بين جميع توزيعات لينكس نظام ال <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">Ubuntu</a> و الذي هو من اشهر و اسهل توزيعات اللينكس حاليا و من بين جميع النكهات او انواع الاوبنتو اخترت اللوبنتو <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu" target="_blank">Lubuntu</a> ليكون الخيار الامثل ان لم يكن الاوحد لاستبدال النظام الذي ضل 12 سنة يعمل و يسبب الكثير من المتاعب بالرغم و الحق يقال ان ويندوز اكس بي يفضله المستخدمين على ويندوز 7 او 8 و الدليل انه ﻻ يزال يستخدم و بكثرة خصوصا بالوطن العربي و حتى في دوائر بعض الدول او البنوك و غيرها.</span></span></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">و بما ان ال لوبنتو القادم 14.04 سيكون ان شاء الله نسخة طويلة الدعم او ما يعرف ب LTS - Long Term Release فانه و بكل تاكيد سيلعب ال لوبنتو دورا فاعلا و رئيسيا في هذا المشروع. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After spending some time updating my forsaken blog, I guess it looks better now with new feel and look.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, I'd like to start to bring some life back to this blog with some news/updates regarding StartUbuntu.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is StartUbuntu?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Oh, if you haven't heard of it yet, where are you living?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://amjjawad.blogspot.http//amjjawad.blogspot.com/p/startubuntu.html/p/startubuntu.html" target="_blank"><b>StartUbuntu</b></a> is by far, my biggest project which has already seen the light. I am sorry, I should have mentioned it earlier on my blog but where is the time? I've been heavily involved with StartUbuntu and many other things (mainly building an empire called Ubuntu GNOME Team).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have dedicated a whole new tab just for it and had to remove some old tabs.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, there is something interesting that I'd like to share with you here:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">From <a href="http://www.kaspersky.com/about/news/press/2013/Kaspersky_Endpoint_Security_10_for_Windows_wins_VB100_award" target="_blank">Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows wins VB100 award</a>, I'd like to quote:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">"Virus Bulletin testing was conducted on a PC running Windows XP
Professional SP3. Although the testing did not use the very latest
version of Microsoft’s operating system, it still replicated conditions
which are frequently found on home and corporate computers all over the
world. Different independent experts have concluded that Windows XP
retains 30-40% of the market share for operating systems. Statistics
from Kaspersky Lab’s cloud service <a href="http://www.kaspersky.com/images/KESB_Whitepaper_KSN_ENG_final.pdf">Kaspersky Security Network</a>,
<span style="color: red;"><b>used by over 60 million users around the world</b></span>, support this. According
to Kaspersky Security Network, as of the end of April 2013, <span style="color: red;"><b>over 30% of
subscribers were using PCs running Windows XP</b></span> – the vast majority of
them XP Professional."</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">By far, this is the most interesting news, ever. Imagine then how many users are 'STILL' actually using Windows XP? and imagine, if we could reach to at least 10% of them, what could happen? and when those 10% will start using Linux/Ubuntu what could happen? and when those who started to use Linux/Ubuntu start to spread the word and invite other Windows XP Users to try/use Linux/Ubuntu, then what could happen? and imagine when more and more will spread the word and invite their friends, family and colleagues, what could happen? and when Windows 7 and Windows 8 users will start to hear about all this, what could happen?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Yes, when I say StartUbuntu a project that will change the world and end the era of Microsoft Windows, I know what I am talking about and I mean it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Hey, be realistic? I am indeed but guess I am optimistic more and WHY NOT? I breathe Linux, of course I am optimistic :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Share, spread the word and don't ever stop talking about StartUbuntu.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Please, make sure to use HASHTAG on all the social media:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's been ages since I posted on this blog. I feel bad because I don't have time to do anything over here. I'd love to write something and publish but, really there is no time. Now, I don't like the look and feel of this blog. I need sometime to change it and make it better. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully I can do this any time soon!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">27- This is the Second Most Important Step. On this Step, you decide what package you want to install/include in your setup. So far, ONLY the core system has been installed. If you want to build your system the way you like and add the package you want, this is a list of what you may need/use. Instructions are below:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Space to Select</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tab to Move</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Enter to Activate the selection</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">** Jump to continue without making any selection will install nothing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">28- Another important step is to choose where to install GRUB (the boot loader). The default selection is "Yes". Please, understand if you carry on with "Yes", this will erase any boot loader current installed in your MBR. So, be careful and you should understand what you are doing - don't make a selection without knowing what is going on. More about GRUB can be found <b><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2">here</a></b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b><u>Update:</u></b> For now, me and other users are discussing the project over <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/419362094844633/">here on facebook</a>. Also, <a href="http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=36386">here on LXDE Forum</a>. Soon, I will setup a new area most likely on Launchpad and offer a Mailing List</span> :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">History:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This idea has started <a href="http://amjjawad.blogspot.ae/2013/03/mini-lubuntu-mlubuntu.html">here</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then more about it <a href="http://amjjawad.blogspot.ae/2013/06/mini-lubuntu-part-2.html">here</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And here, I will explain some simple thoughts and we can discuss that later :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This system to be based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Mini ISO</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is not a good option for NEW Comers to Linux because it will be a minimal system. Someone came from Windows won't find this interesting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is for Current Linux Users.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have very few packages (File Manager, Browser, others).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It should be lighter than Lubuntu</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">DE might NOT be LXDE - I am thinking about other alternatives.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What to do?</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Will update this with more details</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think I will create a Wiki Page for this</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Very sad but true. I have <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2013-July/004931.html">officially resigned from Lubuntu Team</a> on 7th of July, 2013. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was about time to take such painful, hard and tough decision. It wasn't easy at all. But, life must go on and one should never give up nor surrender.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For two years, full of hard work for very long hours (12 hrs - 16 hrs daily), achieved a lot and done so many things ... this has come to the end of Lubuntu's Page but that is not the end of my journey, that was just the beginning :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Full History <b><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad">is here</a></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, I'm thinking about one of more of <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad#Future_Challenges.2BAC8-Plans">these options</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will keep you posted :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Starting from Saucy (Lubuntu 13.10), some changes to the system had been decided - <b><a href="https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-qa/msg02741.html">See this</a></b>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of these changes, which IMHO, was the best change ever, is the inclusion of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZRam">zRAM</a> by default.</span></div>
