Goodbye Linux/Ubuntu

[Tarun Khanna]

I have been using qBittorrent for over a year now. And just like you I use
torrents a lot. I also use Transmission sometimes. I have personally never
had any issues with running torrent clients. What problem are you seeing?

Skype is an issue, It has been in beta for ages, without any updates. But
that's what you get for using a proprietary software. You are dependent on
one company.

I currently have two Ubuntu 10.04 machines. One with a 64bit installation
and one with the netbook remix.

Thanks,
Tarun
