I have long been a user of Suse Linux. Two months back, I had the opportunity to install & use uBuntu on PC and ubuntu Studio on a laptop. And recently updated my main PC Suse Linux Enterprise Editon 10 to Open Suse 11.1.

The large drupal's main site (www.drupal.org) was updated to version 6 last month. I finally managed to find time to move viggie.com from version 5.

It is a relaunch & slightly different from updating from version 5 to 6. The layout is changed & the presentation is improved. Based on my experience I will write soon on the steps that were needed to update Drupal site from Version 5 to 6.

It is no coincidence that Firefox is the default browser for most web developers. The reason is not just security or tabbed browsing. It has become an invaluable tool in web development, particularly on creating & debugging XHTML and CSS layouts.

If we have to measure the exact space available between columns on screen, or if we have to find the which block breaks the layout, we can find it right away with a few clicks. Firefox makes CSS bug tracking much simpler.

Judging by the reviews on the net, both uBuntu & Suse seemed attractive. While I liked the spirit & energy associated with uBuntu, the server edition I had does not come with a GUI. I need the GUI as well as the LAMP server for developing websites. I opted to install Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED 10) for my new PC mainly because I got the DVD.

Basic Installation

It has been a long time. Between the long gap, I had a good share of Drupal based projects writing a few custom-build modules for specific purposes. And also gained experience in writing Worldpress plugins. These modules & plugins were custom-build and can't be shared with others. I intend to write a few general purpose drupal modules. A kind of giving back to the community.

Here I go! I have specific purpose blogs. That were limited in their scope

Here I can talk about the things l like about the net, design and the net life! Almost all I wanted to do.
