Time flies by fast when you do what you enjoy most and we have been enjoying this year very much. It is almost a year since GoITExpert.com was launched and what a year it has been. We've posted over 500 articles and how-to's, reviews and news. Our readership has steadily increased over these past months, prompting us to redesign the site twice and urging us to post more high quality, relevant articles. Many of our articles received thousands of visits, beginning with the "Remoting into Windows From Ubuntu Linux" and most recently the "DomPlayer 3wPlayer Fix". We've added many new features to the web site, including a job board, ask the expert section, and added today was the FeedBurner feed and stats.

Now that you can subscribe to our feed using FeedBurner, we would really appreciate if you did so, since having [0 readers] show up on that icon is rather not enticing at all. :) [...]

The original date of April 2006, was pushed back by Mark Shuttleworth to June 1st, making this version 6.06. This released marked the debut of the LTS (Long Term Support) distribution system, where the versions of Ubuntu Desktop and Server would be supported for a longer period of time, providing bug and security fixes for three years on Desktop edition and five years on the server edition. The LTS put Ubuntu on the map in the Server based market tightly controlled by Red Hat and now Novell's Suse. An option to have easy to install (through apt-get) security updates for free became a very attractive option for organizations wanting or using Linux in their server environments. Adding to the benefits were the new version of GNOME 2.14, Linux kernel 2.6.15 and X.Org 7.0. The option to upgrade from the previous releases was a godsend for the Ubuntu users. [...]
