In love with Fedora
Apr 17th
I have been using Windows XP from past 6 years. In these 6 years, I can’t remember how many times I had formatted my HDD due to viruses.
So, I decided to switch to Linux,which is also better for PHP development. I ordered free Ubuntu disc from Canionical. Installed Ubuntu . But I was unable to configure it properly. And I ended up installing Windows XP again. Later, I found Kubuntu – an official derivative of Ubuntu which is used by developers ( point out if I am wrong). Installed it successfully, but was unable to configure it fully and gave up the thought.
And, four days ago, the thought of switching to Linux again came into mind when I had problem with EpiTwitter class of Jaisen Mathai because I was on Windows.
So, I decided to switch over to Linux,but not with Ubuntu or Kubuntu as I had read this and some other bloggers having same opinion.Linux has many distros (flavours, as they are known). And I decided to try out Fedora 12 .
I have all the things I need to develop PHP applications. I have installed -
FileZilla – a FTP client
Pidgin – a messenger
Amarok – music player
NetBeans – (PHP) IDE
TweetDeck for tweeting 
and ofcourse (L)AMP.
Until now, I haven’t experinced any problems. And I am happy with my desktop powered by Fedora.
Here’s a screenshot -
P.S : If you are confused about what distro to choose, you can try out Fedora( that’s only a free advice although 
).

I was quite busy in exams , test series and school. It’s my tenth , an important year. So I can hardly
give any time for blogging. But my other activities are still on .
Recently , my test series at Bhange Coaching Classes , finished on 24th . All the papers were fair.
There is annual function going on in our school due to which I am able to write this entry.Birthday
of director of our school , Miss.Motwani ma’am, was celebrated in school today.
I have recently completed the HackMe contest on WabLab. It was quite easy. Completed very soon.
When I was checking out what’s going on at IBM DeveloperWorks , saw the link to
Master The Mainframe of which two parts have been completed by me. Just went to Wall Of Fame
there , and felt nice to see my name there.
There is exam in school from 5th of January due to which I won’t be able to attend the PHPCamp in
Pune which is on 9th January. I was planning to deliver presentation on Session Hijacking .
Updates :
1. The exam which was about to start today , is postponed with a reason that the school authorities
have came to know that we haven’t completed our studies . Is this a reason for postponing ? Might
be some other problem , but we haven’t been told about it. Anyways , doesn’t matters to us.
2 . It is from 8th January. Just the day before PHPCamp. They should have started it from Monday
