Asking me whether I prefer monkeys or tips more would likely give me a brain freeze. I mean, they both rock! But since it is the TipMonkies that are showing us Linux users how to get the most from our Flickr accounts, then I guess I’ll go with tips for today…

OK, Ted here has a point: We should be past the need for dual booting. Now if everyone out there is willing to drop the money on VMWare and VirtualPC, then more power to them. But I believe most people want to run their alternative OS’ native so that all of the speed is there [...]

Up for some beta testing? Ya, well I will not be lining up anytime soon. However if you have the time and enjoy Xandros, then I would recommend this opportunity.

NepaLinux? Cool, this could really be a great turning point for getting people from that region over to Linux and more into computing in general.

Let me be the first to say that I applaud the effort being put forth by these guys, I really do. But they do mention the software being free. Yes, more often than not OSS is given away. But we need to stop living with the expectation at that Open Source is the same as [...]

To be honest, Linux adoption in China has been doing well for some time now, with or without Turbolinux.

The more I read, the more like I what I see. The improved support for apps of the Open Source variety is definitely long overdue…

OK, how about a Linux Master’s Degree? Actually it is not all that surprising to see that Novell has their hand in making this whole thing a reality.

Now I have to be the first to pipe up here: Why would I want to install Linux on a new Mac? It is already running in a Unix environment…

A potential look at Microsoft’s future or just a wild, outlandish outlook that has no bearing on anything?

IPTV to provide us with a Linux future? Sounds unlikely perhaps, but don’t tell Moto!

An in depth view of Linux in business and how the two can potentially work together…

Proof that even the mighty Linux, can fall victim to security threats. F-Secure had their hands full recently it would seem…

Duane Maxwell has given us yet another way to sync our iPods with Linux. His solution is with the libipod, which if I am not mistaken is being used with Lsongs right now to allow iPod syncing to take place.

Hmm, thanks to EFI: ELILO for the Mac-Intel computers, we will now have a viable Linux option for these new Macs!

There are a variety of methods to do this, but here are a few ways of syncing your Palm that you might not have been aware of…

The YPOPs is not just for Windows, folks. Yahoo mail users wanting to grab their mail from other OS’ can do so easily from YPOPs for Linux and others.

While not always true, more often than not consultants can overcome any hurdles to implementing OSS by proving the savings to be had in making the switch.

Open Source Telcom? Sort of. Apparently a number of network equipment providers are looking into providing a more ‘open’ philosophy.

Honestly, if the OSS code is maintained and left alone, I see no issues with them exploring what MS has to offer. Just keep that code open, that’s all.
