2005 December

Here is a thought to keep you late at night:The Matt Hartley Linux Distribution. Wild, eh? Yes, with the help of this resource below, the concept is not something completely out of reach any longer…

It’s not just a book on Open Source. It’s a series…and then some.

Speaking as someone who has used Crossover Office for sometime now, I would have to say that unless the software you plan on using with it is listed as supported, don’t count on it working without problems.

When I first noticed this article talking about using Linux as an OS, but doing so on an old Win 95 machine, I thought they were nuts! Then I noticed the distros that they were listing below. Needless to say, they have a really great point…

I am anxious to try this out over the holidays. To me, the LMMS project looks like it could hold some real promise!

Well, it’s put up or shut up time for SCO. This should prove interesting, can they back up the stolen code claims? I have my doubts…

Even though this particular model of router is likely to be replaced soon, it seems the sales for it speak for themselves…

It almost feels like some folks believe that mobile Linux is not really worth the effort. Speaking for myself, I believe there is plenty of potential.

Hey, you’ll get no argument from me! I too, believe that KDE makes Linux a whole lot more friendly in comparison to other window managers.

Well, it looks as if we are going be skipping one update and moving right into another for our Flash needs…

Don’t believe there is even such a thing as an Apache perspective? Maybe you need to read on…

Hey, why even consider installing if you are unsure about it. Just use a Live CD!

Red Hat appears to be doing well this year. Got to love those server sales…

There is no question that Knoppix has done a lot for getting Linux to the masses. But did you know that there is a screen saver for Windows that picks up where the Live CD left off?

I believe that Linux on the server and Firefox on the PC will be the trumpet call for OSS apps everywhere to begin rallying around each other in one final march to supremacy.

As bootable Linux CDs go, Tao never really struck me as being all that different from other distributions that I have played with. Speaking for myself, I am either looking for a distro that is incredibly compact, can run on old machines, or that is bloated with insane hardware support…

I am using the latest version of Firefox and I must admit, stability has not been an issue for me personally. Could there be some extenuating circumstances?

Found yourself in need of a new Linux code editor, but are having to work from a Windows station? Perhaps Xtudio would fit the bill…

There is no problem finding apps to download podcasts in Linux any longer. Back in the day though, I too was a fan of Bashpodder as the options at that point were rather limited.

Speaking for myself, I expect to see the bulk of Linux growth take place in the embedded market. Then again, this is just my thinking.
