Well, my 3 hours went to 3 days of nightmare (well, not too nightmare) because the upgrade wasn’t smooth. Read this thread, and you can feel my problem. Well, everything right now is fine, just fine. Thanks a lot to my boyfriend who fix all the problems. My boyfriend is a Red-Hat minded. Hah! I should came to him first before i upgrading my Ubuntu. Do some geek stuff, and voila… Finally i have Feisty Fawn in my laptop.
A lot of Ubuntu user having problems when upgrading this version, you can read it here, and i hope it will be solved soon by the community.

Update : It works now
Last night i tried to upgrade my 6.10 Edgy to the new Feisty Fawn but unlucky, the download speed is only 5988b to 20kb, what a mess. It takes two days for upgrade it, my Gosh! I stopped it at 3.30 AM and right now i’m downloading the ISO via mirror site. 3 hours again i’ll be using Feisty Fawn! I hope. Well, if you guys want the Feisty Fawn ISO CD, i’m happy to give it to you. I’m available at college on Monday morning till 2-3 PM. Just contact me or call me if you guys want to meet me! aeight! Wish me luck to finish all the upgrade.
I’m a (very) end-user of Ubuntu and i’m still fear of terminal. I know i have to face it nonetheless. But right now, let’s not talk about the terminal, i wanna share with you guys about 2 nice apps that i’m using right now. It’s not new application. I just found it. I hope it’s useful.
Gfontview
My friend just gave me a CD that contains maybe 3000 fonts and of course i don’t want to view it one by one using Gnome Font Viewer. So, i search font viewer application in Synaptic and found GFontView.
GFontView is a font viewer but with a nice feature to view your font. You can test it by typing your words. Just like fonts500.com usually do in the early days.
In Mac OS X you have Font Book that i secretly adore.
How about the font table? Here it is…
Looks nice isn’t? I hope in the next version they will have some color generator and install font automatically to the font:///. Go download it, or search it from Synaptic.
F-Spot
The second one is F-Spot. It’s a photo manager. Not a bloated application, simple with a edit photos (some touch-up, brightness, contrast, etc) and it’s fun to organize. You can add your photos as a screen saver too. Apparently i’m using the old version, hmm.. i’ll download the latest version soon here.
