Its been quite a long time I have been using Intrepid. Installed it the night it was released. Unfortunately, I could not get JJ on the releasing day, which was released 2 days ago, due to power cut in our area. Finally, I could install it today. This became the last day of II on my comp. II helped me learn Python, GAE, shell scripts (though we had it in our 5th sem) and how to use remote desktop access using SSH(madhu helped me), tcl, Googles Native client. Literally I could apply thoughts which I lacked during my earlier semesters. I can say this is the luckiest OS of all times for me, I did get placed - dont mind crediting II for it :-). For all the efforts I put, I can say, its solely because of II. I have learnt lots and I am technically much better than what I was a semester ago.
In the beginning boots of II, I was not comfortable with the terminal. I started getting used to terminal only after attending the BMSLUG - hackathon session. Especially I got inspired by some of our juniors, who are and were much better than me. I asked many of them quite a lot of things while the session was going on. The session gave an insight of how to build GNUsim8085, and how to fix a bug, and how to report a bug. The session was given by Madhu, Vattam, Krishna, Puneeth and others. Nearly 30 to 40 people had come for that session. And it was very very useful. Came home and got my hands dirt with the things they taught in the session. Who can forget the DOCTOR - PATIENT CONVERSATION while the session was on. :P ( Ishesh, Vattam and Me). It was a fantastic journey of these 6 months. Today, I'm giving A happy farewell to II.
This is how JJ looks on my comp.I hope JJ will help me learn even more things and I am already on it :) It has lots of additional features. Adding to What Madhu has posted in his blog JJ has built in Compiz fusion in it. The editors show the tabwidth and the text format by default. Since it has Openoffice 3.0, It solves a great problem of building graphs for our project at IISc. Everything is so neat and clear. Unfortunately I am not able to install ns2 on JJ. Hope it will be fine. Will list its pros and cons once I get through them. As of now, JJ looks so cool and lightning fast.
