Between Linux and Anime

Tada! Ubunchu as it turns out is still alive and kicking! Albeit in the same somewhat constipated way my own blog ekes its existence. It looks from the mailing list like the terrible beast called real life has also been wreaking havoc and slowing things down over there, and so in the long time that I had been too busy to check back, only one new chapter has been released. And it’s chapter 7 instead of 6 too! Apparently the author wanted to put some extra touches on 6, and so released 7, which was ready, first. Grab it here if you haven’t.

Anyway in this chapter our awkward trio of Sysadmin club members decided to hold an installfest, which as the name suggests is essentially an event where people get together to help each other (in particular new adopters) with setting up their Linux boxes.

So the 5th chapter of Ubunchu, the free manga about the popular free Linux system Ubuntu, is out. Actually it’s been out for a good long while now but you will note that I only fought my way out of quasi-hiatus in the last post.

So I’ll admit it. This manga is starting to feel somewhat direction-less. It’s fine as a documentary sort of thing I suppose, but why not do better eh? Personally I think it’d be great if we could give the Ubuntu/free-software lecture of the weekchapter thing a rest and spend some pages on developing the characters and illustrating the larger setting instead. It’s still fun as a curiousity (and as blogging material), but I hope we’re moving into some actual plot soon because I think Ubunchu is really getting a little hit-and-miss as pure educational material. /rant
