Fedora 14 http://fedoraproject.org is here and yes, they did use that awful backdrop e:paul,52182. No matter how much they tried to change it, it sucked. On the boot screen they faded it out enough to make it not notica…

I have mac OS X snow leopard, windows 7, windows XP running as virtual machines on Fedora 13. I cannot wait to get the new computer with quad core and eight gigs of ram. This is going to change my life. I used these ins…
I am going to start out and admit I am a total jerk for complaining now and at the same time not not realizing that this was going on before and participating by either designing or voting. I especially hate that I did …

Well the best part was the verizon dongle. I plugged it in, it detected it and asked me which network I use, I chose verizon, hit apply and it was good to go. I didn't even enter in my credentials which seems kind of cr…
I spent years using illustrator but now that I am dead set on a FOSS path I decided to learn inkscape. I was following this nice wiki article on inkscape for illustrator users http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Ink…
Well its not just my server OS anymore. Its been one month and two days and I haven't gone back to os X yet. I am totally in love with linux desktop this time around and don't anticipate going back ever. It just seems s…
I made it through one day of linux and got everything done that I wanted.

So today I was feeling under the weather and had some more time to play with Fedora 12 on the macbook pro. Literally everything is working and I am pretty sure I am going to switch over now. Working: disk encryption bat…
So I had a gift card for border today. I always want to buy the linux magazines but I can never get myself to pay $15 for something full of information about free software with disks of free software attached. With the …
If you are interested in trying out linux and don't have any experience with Linux systems, I would suggest checking out Suse 9.3. It comes with lots of free programs such as word processors, instant mesasging and email…

So I admit I am still not done converting every thing to linux, although I no longer have windows. I can't believe how exciting to get everything working even if it is time consuming. This morning the ipod shuffle began…
One of e:terry and e:matthew's gripes with linux when we had it on the main home computer two years ago was that we didn't have a music player that rivaled the power of itunes. In comes amarok http://amarok.kde.org/comp…
