Step by Step Guide: Installing Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” Beta within Windows Vista
Hello Guys!
I just came across a new thing today. I found out that it is possible to install the new Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron” Beta from within Windows. Yes, that’s true. No need to burn the downloaded ISOs onto Blank CDs and reboot the PC and make partitions and so on. So, I decided to give it a try. I fired up FlashGet and started to download the 32-bit ISO.

Step 1: I mounted the downloaded ISO using SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive and the autorun menu came up. I selected the option to run umenu.exe
Samsung 2ON Mobile: Dual Mode Handset – GSM + CDMA
I just found this news on a technology blog I surf. It’s certainly an innovative product from Samsung.

In all the following are the features which it boasts:
- Two Sim Card Slots: GSM and CDMA
- Supports all Service Providers in India (including Reliance and TATA) Read the rest of this entry »
