The Ubuntu team is happy to bring you the latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. This is their latest result, the Ubuntu 9.04 release, which brings a host of excellent new features.

i use ubuntu at work and love it. only a few months ago i upgraded from 7.04 to 8.10 and the changes were dramatic. things that needed to be compiled in, like support for a UPS or dual displays, are now default behavior in 8. i can’t imagine how smooth 9 is, and i think by the time they hit 10 (which should be in six months given ubuntu’s schedule) we should have a very solid OS that even your grandma can use.

try the ubuntu live cd! you can boot and use ubuntu without overwriting your current install. old hardware? linux is awesome for sub-par systems!

Thoughts on Pot vs. Alcohol from a Former Police Chief

TheGhost FTW! (Drugs, Health, Your Rights)

There have been no documented cases of lung cancer in a marijuana-only smoker, nor has pot been scientifically linked to any type of cancer. (Don't trust an advocate's take on this? Try the fair and balanced coverage over at Fox.) Alcohol abuse contributes to a multitude of long-term negative health consequences, notably cirrhosis of the liver and a variety of cancers.

The author cites numerous studies, many of which even surprised a veteran such as myself!
