I came across Wubi a couple of weeks ago when I was looking at trying to use Ubuntu. This program is perfect if you are looking at dual booting a Windows OS with Ubuntu. Wubi makes the process very easy for an administrator who does not have allot of experience with Linux. I was able to have an Ubuntu install done in about an hour. Once you have Wubi and Ubuntu installed it is really easy to switch between the two operating systems.
So if you are looking for a way to start playing around Ubuntu this is your perfect solution. You can still leave your windows OS in tacked along with being able to fully test Ubuntu. The only downfall I have found is that disk performance is a touch slower with the way Ubuntu is installed through Wubui. This can be fixed if you repartition your disk space manually instead of having Wubui do it for you. Hopefully you will be comfortable doing this once you a few hours of Ubuntu experience under your belt.

While enjoying some much needed time off I stumbled accross the game Combat Arms produced by Nexon. The first thing that made me wonder if it was worth my time to check out was that it was free. That’s right I said free. I have tried out allot of games that were free over the years and was usually less then impressed. So I set my expectations very low for this one. I was actually very surprised when I downloaded the game and played my first game. The closets thing that I can compare it to is Call Of Duty. I was really surprised by the graphics and game play. As of right now there is not anything I would really change about the game. So if your looking for something to do I highly recommend checking out Combat Arms.
