Today just after sahur I load up my linux mint 7 (just installed yeaterday).  Just to try out. I think linux mint is based on Kubuntu and to make it more obvious, it create partition named Kubuntu during partitioning process .

It have all the needed software to do normal task. Got firefox and konqueror browser. The update software inform me that I have 86 updates to be installed. Lucky me maxis wired broadband all of sudden become faster (around 220 kbps download) so all the updates takes me around 20 minutes or so.

During the updates I try to open this blog (and few other hosted on the same hosting) but somehow firefox refuse to render it instead prompt me to choose other software to open the file (phtml file) or save. What the F? Try in konqueror also the same.

Then I tried to clear the firefox cache. Mistakes! Mistakes! Mistakes! Linux Mint froze on the spot. I guess because update is running in background trying to update firefox (my wild guess lah). I had to force shutdown (press and hold the power button).

After that I boot back to windows xp (ya … No vista for me, thank you). Try to access this blog again. Same problems. Somehow I believe it lies on this server. Did send an e-mail to the customer support. Tired of waiting for reply. Access their websites then notice that their LiveSupport is live.

Yes. Confirm that it was the server problems. They’re upgrading the Apache and along the way it caused the problems. Now it’s all already fixed.

Just my Linux Mint 7 left unbootable. I guess it’s not so stable anymore. RIP Linux Mint 7.
