Well I finally received my 25 Ubuntu CDs I had ordered sometime in June, from shipit.ubuntu.com :). Didn’t receive as I had thought I would have, had to go to the Foreign Post Office at Ballard Estate in Mumbai. Those Custom people wanted me to PAY DUTY ON UNIVERSALLY FREE DISTRIBUTED LINUX CDs :o The timings mentioned on their Call letter was 10:30-12:30 & I reached there by 10:45 and the lady who was to start the process arrived at a cool 11:30. It turned out she was the best person in the whole office, doing her work sincerely and truly helping everyone.

Emotion icons the most important thing is missing. Voice Chat: 7/10; It has great voice quality even on a 64 kbps connection Overall: 5/10; Considering it’s the first ever Release and other IM’s already in they 7th version. The good thing is it has stuck to the open source Jabber protocol and not creat
