openSUSE defeats Mandriva
Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 2nd of January 2009 02:56:09 AM Filed under

marcfearby.com: About this time last year I decided that Linux simply wasn’t good enough and returned to Windows XP. A week later I discovered that Mandriva was actually up to scratch. Given that Mandriva fired one of their most valuable employees recently, I think the writing is on the wall for that distro, sadly.

Homebuilt computers for Christmas
Submitted by fsmag on Thursday 1st of January 2009 09:19:39 PM Filed under
In tight economic times when I was growing up, my family generally had “homemade” Christmases, where all the gifts were handicrafts they had made. It takes a lot of time, but it does save money. This year, I’m following much the same pattern, I’m giving my kids refurbished computers.

Versatility is a good thing
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 1st of January 2009 05:21:58 PM Filed under

Fedora: A perfect 10?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 1st of January 2009 10:45:10 AM Filed under
larrythefreesoftwareguy.wordpress: Rather than writing something right after the release of Fedora 10, I wanted to do something different. Unlike movie or restaurant reviews which need to be released as soon as a movie or a restaurant opens, distros should be “road tested” before a valid review could be written.

Goodbye Ubuntu, Hello Arch!
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 1st of January 2009 10:43:31 AM Filed under

blog.steveklabnik: Yesterday, I woke up and decided that I felt like wiping my hard drive. It’s a new year, so I felt that it was time for a change. After brushing my teeth, I got on Reddit, and someone mentioned Arch Linux. I’d heard of it, but couldn’t remember what the guiding philosopy behind it was.
