Upgrades
Upgrading oldish releases are a pain. I tried “official” ways to upgrade my Saucy Salamander Eeepc. No way. I got to do it the hard way, treating that Ubuntu like the Debian it is underneath. A power blow of apt-fu: %s/saucy/wily/gc :wq apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade Now, that’s taking an hellish of time on…

A Song Of Regret – YouTube
 Song of regret
(Peter Sinfield – Angelo Branduardi)Winter’s frozen moments
Will melt once more to spring,
Birds with peppered feathers
Return once more to sing…
But so high soars the mountain
That though I climb and climb
She always hides her flowers from me…In long ago’s lost garden
The apple trees will bear
A thousand fruits of red and green
But not one will I share…
For constant must I travel
And in some far off land
Lie down once more remembering…

p class=”text6″>Every time I meet this wonderful song by Angelo Branduardi I cannot help but stopping everything I’m doing and stand still listening to it.
