Free Geek is a group of people who reuse computers so that others may benefit from them. They’re based in Portland, Oregon. The nice thing about their group is that they really want to give individuals and non-profit organizations. They have a thrift shop and hardware grants.
You could volunteer in the organization […]
I was lucky to have received my copy of Hackett and Bankwell Issue 1 this week. (Thanks so much to Intarcorp who sent me a copy!) I saw that there’s a huge penguin on the cover. Yay! Hooray for penguins! :D It’s an interesting way to study using Linux especially Ubuntu.
Things I liked about […]
Looking for a way to surf the ‘net on the terminal? Use w3m!
I’ve used w3m time and again because it’s quaint that way. ;) I usually use it as an Emacs macro/extension. It’s nice! I could read webpages while in Emacs, aside from the terminal.
You could look it in Synaptic if you’re […]
After reading this entry on ZDNet’s EdTech section, I realized that there’s such a thing as being OS-agnostic.
I love Linux but in some ways I am learning to be OS-agnostic. Why do I say OS-agnostic? Read on.
To be OS-agnostic, if you ask me, is to be comfortable with any operating system installed on the […]
Last year there were news about Nokia 770 and Debian Linux. A while ago I read about Ubuntu coming to Nokia 800. From the article, Ubuntu is already running on an SD card. :D Sounds exciting. It’s just that the Nokia 800 will probably be a high-end consumer device here in the […]
Lookie! Another Linux-based phone. This time it’s a Motorola A810.
I wish I could see more of these things locally. Well, and support for them as well. So far, there are reports from the FCC as to the specs of the phone and the pictures as well.
I’ve tried one of the Linux-powered […]
I saw a promo on Laptop Mag that they are giving away an Asus EEE if you answer their survey. The contest applies only to US residents though.
Some questions on the survey are about comparing the OSes on the Asus EEE. :) Even if you’ve never owned one, it’s ok. There are […]
And yes, the servers will be hammered by requests of people wanting to download the ISOs.
So use the mirrors, ok? :D
If you need a cheatsheet on the commands you might need, you could check out yesterday’s post and if you want to think about how you should partition and mount your Windows partition if you’re […]
Get the Ubuntu Cheatsheet from FOSSWire.
Really important commands especially for newbies. They even included sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is included in the cheatsheet. Plus keyboard shortcuts to restart X. Hah! I wish I got this cheatsheet much earlier. I learned those commands the hard way — helped me out but now you could see them […]
After reading the articles on Computerworld and the Inquirer, I felt disappointed. Why? Because it seems that the OLPC team is backing off from their original plans. They are now thinking about using Windows XP instead of Linux on the OLPC. Uh… Hey, that’s so weird, dude!
*sigh*
