The year of the Linux desktop... *sigh*

The year of the Linux desktop has finally come! Really, this time. At least, that's what Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, says. Give me a break. Read the article. Not one of the arguments is bound to this year. No concrete dates, no concrete events.

The spectacular new MPC-L from Viglen is a compact PC designed for basic functionality such as web browsing and office applications. £99 gets you the basic box with a 40GB Hard Disk and a special preinstalled version of Xubuntu Linux.

You use Ubuntu, not Linux

For a while I've been meaning to write this, and the article "there's more to Linux than Ubuntu" finally made me do it.

First off, this is NOT going to be the LTS. Gnash is pre-installed (a free Flash), Compiz Fusion installed and enabled by default. But what really excites me is Kubuntu Gutsy: IT HAS A KDE GDEBI!!!

For Linux business users, the most important Linux release of 2007 so far is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. But for most other Linux fans, the upcoming release of Ubuntu Version 7.04 on April 19 demands more attention.

Help me, I'm Addicted

So it's been a week or so since I installed xubuntu on my laptop. I haven't been using it much at school because there isn't any wi-fi near (except on campus, and that's another project entirely) and switching between having my desktop and my laptop online is kinda annoying.

Trying out Linux (xubuntu)

Well it's March and that means, for me at least, spring break. Ah the joys of going home and spending a week without my baby. That is to say, my custom built kickass computer. It's just too much to try and pack up and cart home for only a week.

My first Linux experience: Overwhelmingly positive.

I am a first-year high school English teacher, and I was looking to get computers in my room so I could have a writing lab.

Yes!!! This is an official Ubuntu program that runs on Windows. It will partition your drive for you, install Grub, and install Ubuntu. Best of all, you can also choose to install Kubuntu or Xubuntu (Kubuntu is my favorite, which is why I'm excited).

Have you ever wondered who the people behind Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu are and what they do? Or what they are like? You may have read emails from them on the mailing lists or talked to them on IRC.
