My name is Vivek and I am the author/administrator of LinuxHub. I enjoy every bit of using Ubuntu and have tried most of the popular distros. However, my love for Ubuntu has surpassed all the others.

What I am trying to do with this blog is to help common people to get started with Linux (Ubuntu). I hope my effort makes life of some of you a little easier.

Feel free to drop your comments. They will help me serve you better. You can also request posts that you’d like to see on LinuxHub. You can also drop me an email for comments, feedback and suggestions at v@linuxhub.net

Hi Svij,

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the feedback. I am not sure what browser you are using. Ideally it should not matter. All I can think of is if your internet connection speed is causing the issue. Let me know if you see the same problem with Firefox coupled with a decent internet connection :) ~Best. {V}

About Vivek

LinuxHub is an effort to make the lives of new linux users as simple as possible. Although it will focus extensively on using Ubuntu (@this moment Jaunty Jackalope), I am sure all the help and tutorials can be applied across other distros of Linux. We will try not only to cover state of art How-Tos but also some fun stuff like pimping up your Ubuntu and other similar posts. Time to time we might also cover some major news story in the world of Linux. Please let us know what you feel about LinuxHub by dropping us your comments/remarks.
