Lately, I had started a blog for Ubuntu http://sambuntu.blogspot.com, there has not been much activity on it, due to the hundreds of blogs out there more advanced and professional in providing support, which is why I haven't abandoned it, but decided to post only important or self discovered problems and issues or solutions.
