I recently purchased an external DVD reader because I wanted to have more flexibility to do things with my ASUS eee.
I was able to give the ASUS a good workout on the recent Royal Caribbean cruise I went on. One of the things I didn’t care for all that much was the Xandros OS system [...]

You can sure tell that March is here. I guess the wind and heat are just in time for the David International Fair that begins next Thursday.

After using the new openSUSE 11.1 and KDE 4.2 system for several days, I decided another update was in order. While KDE 4.2 has been officially released by the KDE org, it is available by openSUSE in what they call a factory library. Non the less, openSUSE considers if a stable environment.

My assumption is that the OS has become corrupted. Reinstalling Microsoft would require loosing all data on the hard drive.
I tried removing the hard drive and [...]

I am in the process of downloading the latest release of openSUSE. I have been running release 11.0 for some time and openSUSE 11.1 is now out.
I am using the torrent method to get both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs. Both are over 4 gigabytes in size and transferring that much data is subject to [...]

It has been a while since I have written anything related to Linux. Today, I stumbled on this interview with Mark Shuttleworth, the man behind UBUNTU. I have been using nothing but Linux for a few years now. Probably the most important person to the rabip growth of Linux users is Mark Shuttleworth. When he [...]

I recently upgraded the software in my Apple Mac Mini. I didn’t need to change the system. I just did it because I found a cheap copy of Leopard on Ebay. I purchased Leopard for $68.00, including shipping to my Florida mail forwarding address. Then it cost $9.50 to get it to Airbox Express in [...]
