Sorry for the lack up updates.  I’ve been playing around with Ubuntu 8 Live over the past couple of days.  I’ve been trying to get a few different things working, but haven’t found a solution worth posting yet.

Things I’ve been working on:  getting rTorrent/libTorrent installed and working.  I keep having some problems, but I’m unsure if it’s the Live version that is to blame.  I’m also having some problems getting Azureus working on my machine as well.  I might just restart the live boot to have another go, but I would hate losing all the progress I’ve made else where with things.

I’m also working on getting SynCE to be able to sync my Samsung Blackjack II (i617) with Ubuntu.  Hopefully I can get that working in the next day or so.  If I can’t get this working on any system, then I’ll have to dual boot or see if there is a method of using Wine to emulate a windows program to sync with my phone.

Expect another update tomorrow.  I’ll be sure to “liveblog” my methods of getting torrents up and running on a better client and getting the syncing to work.  After that, I’ll start work on allowing my Zune to connect up with Linux!
