Installed 64-bit Ubuntu on my z61p - it “just works”! The best part of it was the live cd, which allowed to me to preview it on the laptop without installing it. Worked flawlessly! Impressive! Time to install. On the Desktop of your “live” session, there is an Install link. Double-click and you’re on your way! Wooooo!! It takes the settings from your live session and configures them on your actual installation - perfect! Now, to make this my primary workstation, the only thing I would need is to be able to VPN into work. There is no 64-bit Cisco IPSec VPN Client! Alas! A quick search through the Synaptics Package Manager for “vpn”, I found vpnc. Worked like a charm! Ubuntu far exceeded my expectations. I… LOVE… IT!
Looks like the new software will have the Cisco IPSec VPN Client built-in! People won’t have to do L2TP (over IPSec) any more! Yay!

Looks like we’re going to be seeing the fourth Bourne soon! It will most likely be based on Eric van Lustbader’s continuation of the Bourne series where Ludlum left off. I do want to see another Bourne, but heard that Lustbader’s books didn’t get the same rave reviews as Ludlum’s did. Not sure if it really matters though - from what I heard/read, the movies were quite loosely *based* on the novels. We shall see!
