Yesterday, 16 August and 17 years ago Debian was born. And Debian is the grand daddy of Ubuntu and all things **buntu*. Congrats to Debian […]

Here is an update on my earlier post. Leaf, the distributors of HTC phones in South Africa has clarified the situation regarding Android updates in South Africa.
