Submitted by srlinuxx on Thursday 29th of March 2007 01:23:33 AM Filed under
Fedora is often called a non-community distribution because it is heavily supported by Red Hat and Red Hat has Veto rights in the board. Also, together with claims that Ubuntu is no Community distribution either it raises the question who and what defines the word community in this regard.

Fast forward with a Kazehakase web browser
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 28th of March 2007 10:03:49 PM Filed under
The second most popular web browser in the world, Firefox, is a beautiful, but heavy machine. Its biggest attraction are tabs, flexible bookmarks and RSS management and extensions. However for people who are still using systems with no abundance of main memory it can be a pain intensively using firefox throughout a day. It is just that memory hungry.

ISO Master Review
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 28th of March 2007 10:00:35 PM Filed under
ISO Master is an open-source, easy to use, graphical CD image editor for Linux and BSD. Basically, you can use this program to extract files from an ISO, add files to an ISO, and create bootable ISOs - all in a graphical user interface. It can open both ISO and NRG files but can only save as ISO. ISO Master is based on bkisofs - a library for reading, modifying and writing ISO images.
