One thing I love about WordPress, if you have time and if you dig around you just might learn something and have fun with it.
Thank you Silvy, without your help on the mod_rewrite I don't think I will get Pretty Permalinks working.
Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to refer to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. Especially when they are used to link to individual postings, once a story is posted, the URL to it should be permanent, and never change — hence permalink. ~ WordPress.org
For my regular readers I'm not sure this topic would be of your interest but for those of you who looking for answers to make your Pretty Permalinks work, I hope the infos help 
Making your Pretty Permalinks work on WordPress
I faces few problem during my configuration process;
- WordPress did not create file .htaccess
To fix this problem, I log on to to my shell and do Touch .htaccess and chmod 666 .htaccess. Log on to Options > Permalinks select your common or custom structure than hit Update Premalink Structure. - Error page 404
To fix this problem I have to install mod_rewrite module on Apache web server and support FollowSymlinks. AllowOverride ALL was enable and manual config direcroty was point to my blog root. Log on to Options > Permalinks select your common or custom structure than hit Update Premalink Structure. Woohoo! Now it work like a champ!
I highly recommend you to check out WordPress.org. They have comprehensive instructions on how to set up all type of PERMALINKS. If you have problem that you can't solve you can always refer to WordPress Support Forum.
