While I have been away for quite a long time, there were many software upgrades we commonly used on Linux. So, it is time to upgrade your outdated software.

Releasing of Ubuntu 8.04.1 – http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/. 8.04.1 was based on LTS 8.04 and make great amendment.

Opera 9.51 – http://www.opera.com/download/. Although more preferable browser on Linux is of course Firefox! But if Opera also open source, I would say it is not a bad choice either. The loading speed and light weight has been great improvement since the last update. However, I still very not use to their widget things on browser.

Pidgin 2.4.3 -  http://www.pidgin.im/download/. While waiting Digsby to come onto Linux, Pidgin has come out a release. But I really hope Pidgin can have social network and email notification feature like what Digsby have.

Wine 1.0 – http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.0.tar.bz2. After long wait, we have Wine1.0 final release. Trust me, you need it if you rely on MS Windows a lot in your life.

Songbird 0.6 – download. I still think it is buggy, however they claimed the memory reduction of 15~20%.
