Actually, making a DVD out of your favorite show (video podcast) in Linux is not as difficult as you might think. Here, check this out….

Yes, I feel that these videos are amazing. While there will always be naysayers, it is really cool to see this sort of footage happening right before our very eyes.

Is this really that big of an issue? No, I am totally serious. Should we be concerned about this or are perhaps still safe for the time being. In all honesty, I think it will require a bit longer to really be sure.

I have mixed feelings about this. While I am thrilled to see Linux making its way into more mobile phones, it is shame that it has to be the low end ones….

I am inclined to agree that running Parallels is a little much for many users out there. Yes, there are a number of advantages (such as running Linux for instance), but is it really ready for the average person?

Hmm, interesting. I suppose this is indeed the Chinese answer to the $100 laptop. And the wild part is that hardware is not half bad for the expected specs!

Dude! I just emailed some folks about this only yesterday! I can’t believe it is already in beta! This rocks. If you have not tried it, do so. I totally recommend it.

With new operating systems coming out making setting up a dual boot system more difficult, getting a little help will certainly not hurt.

Personally, I have mixed feeling about this. While I too don’t want to see Linux fall victim to any misfortunes, is this really the best approach for us?

Nice, this is great to hear. I just feel better thinking about the fact that different governments are willing to look into new, more secure options.

Definitely a new look at the world of virtualization and the challenges that come with it. There is really no question that it is going to be a lot of work to get it work just as we’d like to see it. But I think it can happen.

While this is a great report below, the content being reported on made me feel the need to speak up: Most people have no clue what Linux even is, much less find themselves associating it with troublemakers. Yes, desktop Linux has issues. But this is not one of them.

Open source software is fun for the user, but can often times prove challenging for the outside developer. Why? I feel that documentation is a major contributor.

OK, so perhaps jokes about a blue screen up in air traffic control are totally in bad taste. Nonetheless, it is good to see Red Hat making its way into the world of the FAA.

Linuxfest Northwest is coming up here in my town of Bellingham on the 29th of this month. No, I will not be participating because of other activities I have going on. Still, I am sure it will be a blast if you are in the area.

Even with Linux continuing to break new ground each and every day, the intellectual property concerns are still there. Frankly, it would make an investor a little nervous.

Please understand that while the article below is an opinion piece, it may or may not be in sync with my feelings. Regardless, it did prove to be a great read on Linux growth in the IT world.

Eh, this makes sense if you stop to think about it. If we can begin to see a really huge push for virtualization technology, the world of the Operating System will never again be the same.

Oh man, this is not really something that I think we are ready for. Yes, I suppose the technology is there. However I am concerned with the user’s privacy…

To be honest, I think I would be interested as to how Xandros has managed to balance security with ease of use. This has been a problem with both Linux and Windows as it is; now we have the server side of things as well?
