I have become completely absorbed in the installation of the new openSUSE system.
As I mentioned in the last post, the installation of KDE 4.0 has gone less than optimal. While there are many things I like, there are many things that have to be fixed before I could consider using this software platform on [...]

Well, in the Linux world, today is a big day. One of the better known Linux distributions (openSUSE) has released it latest version. I have been using the pre-release version of openSUSE 11.0 on my backup PC for over a week. I am currently downloading both the 64-bit and the 32-bit version DVDs.

I have been putting the pre-release of openSUSE 11.0 through its paces on my backup PC. To this point, it appears that I will be a convert. SUSE was one of the first Linux distributions I used when I first started playing around with Linux back in 2000.
I have been using both the Gnome and [...]

Most of you know that I have moved away from M$ XP and have even moved my Apple Mac Mini into another room and currently use only Linux on my primary and backup PC.
I had been using Linux Mint, which I like very much. It is based off UBUNTU, but has an improved menu. However, [...]

If you are thinking about Linux or are a current Linux User, then the FULL Circle Magazine is worth looking at. While it is more beneficial for UBUNTU variants, it has some good information that most Linux users will be able to use.

It has been a while since I tried UBUNTU Studio and I have just put it on my backup PC again. It is current with UBUNTO 8.04 and as I stated in my last review of UBUNTU Studio, it is tailored to people that have a higher interest in Audio, Video and graphic arts.
I remembered [...]

In an interview with Mark Shuttleworth, it was written that, in the first week of June, UBUNTU will be announcing a new distribution called Netbook Remix. This is specifically aimed at the ultra portable PCs, such as my ASUS Eee. That will be worth watching.

I had a friend ask me to look at his PC the other day. His children need it for school work and Windows was taking forever.
I looked at his aging PC and told mim my recommendation was to replace it. He asked for a recommendation. I told him that he should get one similar to [...]

I received an email the other day asking about my thoughts on the ASUS Eee, now that I have had it a little while.
I really have only had it for a little over a month. However, I have enough time with it to say that it is performing as I expected and wanted it to [...]
