Linux Advisory Watch - December 30, 2005

There is some good stuff here. Well, in the sense that you might want to get yourself caught up on the all the latest advisories, anyway.

Linus tells Merkey, “Cry me a river”

As the penguin turns? Could be a great title for the soap opera happening in the article below.

Getting Rooty

You know, I would not be at all surprised if one of the machine behind them happened to be an Altair…

Linux-based Handheld Gaming Device: Gamepark GP2X

And as cool as the mobile Linux devices appear to be, they are not likely to de-throne the PSP anytime soon.

Captcha and line browsers

OK, this is pretty geeky. The idea of using a command line to browse around is pretty wild in my eyes, then again my time is pretty precious.

Listening to Internet Radio with Mplayer

One of the cool things about Linux is that we can use either the provided window manager or the command line to run specific applications. Take a look at this example…

FrostWire for Linux 4.10.0 Beta

Wow, seems like there are a lot of P2P apps being rolled out lately. Wonder if anyone has considered doing one with…nah, keeping that idea to myself. (wink)

XP faster than Linux? Not so fast!

This article below really caught my eye. It discusses the thinking that XP can boot faster than most distros out there. To be honest, it does and can, but at a cost…

2005: Stormy Year for Desktop CPUs

Personally, I think that it is going to be hard to label 2005 from a hardware point of view…

One Linux dude is looking for some testers to act as elves this holiday season. Could he be talking about you?

Is it time for everyone to work together

This is an interesting perspective on how Linux and Windows ought to be working more closely together.

Hey, even though there are some spectacular apps for IMing folks within Linux, some people just prefer having a MSN-like UI.

LimeWire for Linux 4.10.0

Hey, just so long as it is being used lawfully, then there is nothing wrong with taking Limewire out for a spin.

Linux saves yet another…

And speaking as a fan of Linux, don’t kid yourself into believing that you will be reinstalling any less with that OS over Windows. It’ll just be for different reasons…

Linux’s Difficulty with Names

To be honest, I never even considered Linux app names as ‘odd’. But after reading the article below, I came away in partial agreement that this could have been done a little better.

Progression Desktop

Now I may of highlighted this once before, but just in case I wanted to make sure everyone out there is aware of this great migration tool…

CSSTidy

No, the app has nothing to do with toilets or cat litter. Actually, it’s a CSS parser and optimizer. And from what I have heard, it does a pretty darn good job, too.

Creating multiple accounts in Thunderbird

At this day and age it’s no surprise that people have more than one email account, but if you’ve been using the Mozilla Thunderbird application, you might well be unsure how to set it up for more than one account. Fortunately, here’s a quick primer on exactly how to accomplish that:

The Best Linux Distribution of them all

Could there be a more loaded question; “Which distro is the best?” Really, it is almost impossible to answer, I think.

Freevo

Speaking for myself, I think I would just wait for version 2.0 before juimping head first into this PVR project. After all, there are bound to be some serious bug fixes then.
