It also can be set to dual boot Windows and other Operating System with the GRUB boot loader that is installed when you install Ubuntu. I find the start up screens, and the wallpaper to be nicer. Ubuntu also seem to added a few wallpapers. It starts up and shutdown pretty quick to. The biggest improvement is the software install and uninstall tool. It is very easy to use. It is not too different from Ubuntu 9.04.

Updated to Drupal 6.13

I forgot to reupload the old modified htacess file which was causing my backend of my website to get HTTP 500 errors. It took me a while to figure out. Aside from my htacess forgetfulness, drupal was pretty easy to upgrade.

1. Back up my website and website database.

2. Download the Drupal installer and unzip it to my computer.

3.Disable all modules and put site in offline mode 3. Delete all files on my Drupal directory folder.

4. Put all the files I extracted to the Drupal directory on my ftp server.
