Why would anyone bother with making Linux from scratch? With all these distros with almost everything you need, people still choose to build Linux from source. There are people who say that they get a more optimized system that way. Others want it because of the control that they have over the […]

If you love first-person shooter games, Warsow just might be the thing for you. It is based on the novel “Chasseur de bots” which is a French E-novel. (You could read it in English here.)
Those familiar with the gameplay of Quake, you might enjoy Warsow. You can do various kinds of jumps […]

By default, most of the distros I’ve tried have bash or the Bourne again shell installed in them. Anyhow I was reading an article on Linux.com about korn shell and it seems like a good introductory material for us who don’t have a clue about it.

A link to the LXDE site was on del.icio.us and I just had to click it because in this day and age, I sometimes get tired of eye candy. I like pretty desktop environments, surely but there are times when I just need to sit back and relax with simple and straightforward user interfaces. […]

If you love games so much, why not keep an eye on Pandora? It’s the size of a DS but it has a QWERTY keyboard and gaming buttons. It will have a customized Debian-based Linux distro and so you could expect emulators to work on it as well as browsers.
It’s exciting because you […]

The command line — where you type commands and do other funky stuff is sometimes a seemingly different area altogether. It takes time getting used to but it’s worth it. There are a lot of things you can do on the command line. You could do them with some tool with graphical […]

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 […]

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 […]
