There are quite a number of Linux groups on Flickr. Some of them share screenshots of their desktops, some of them have photos of their events, and some of them share photos of their Linux stuff — like t-shirts. It’s really amazing too see so many people share such photos. I haven’t ventured […]

Considering that my mom and sister were mainly Windows users and I’ve had a similar experience with my former co-workers, I’d share a list of some of essentials. These things might actually be installed already (depending on the distro you are using). You might look for them in the dvd installer or cd […]

An intentional reference to LOLCats. ;)
Anyhow, I came across a guide on making GEdit like TextMate. Some interns from last summer were drooling over the TextMate sample videos. They wanted something like that on their computers but some of them were using Linux. Apparently these interns don’t have to worry anymore. :D Check […]

So far, that’s what this month’s poll says.
Broadcom is known for issues. My co-workers have no problem with their company-issued laptops because they are not on Broadcom. I am part of the minority in the office. :( Anyway, it’s really an important issue for me because I haven’t gotten the lan cable […]

I was reading one of kamotegirl’s more recent blog entries and found myself agreeing with her that Linux is better than Windows. I know I am biased, but still she does make herself clear on why she thinks that way. My experience with Windows and Linux makes me agree with her. Where Linux wins, […]

Time and again, I’ve read about debates on using the command line interface and the graphical user interface. I was reminded of the topic when I read about the roadmap to Hardy Heron on fsckin.com. To quote:
