Fedora, meet OLPC. OLPC, meet Fedora.
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 19:20.gregdek.livejournal: Did you know that the OLPC project is the largest single "customer" of Fedora in the entire world? Despite some unfortunate statements by the project's erstwhile CEO, the OLPC project is still *extremely* focused on succeeding in its noble goal -- the education of the world's children -- with the use of free software as the central component of their software strategy.
Fedora TV
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 14:52.jonrob.wordpress: What is it? A way for our community to easily share video and audio related to Fedora with each other - the mechanism we’ve chosen to do this is an RSS feed that also exists as a channel in Miro.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 10:26.bulletspawn.wordpress: I’ve tried many user friendly distributions such as Ubuntu, Mandriva, Mint, Pclinuxos… but there’s always been a reason for me to switch. In absence of Pclinusos 2008 I decided to try Pardus 2008 exactly one week ago…

Don't compare GNU/Linux with Windows or MacOS
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 06:32.freesoftwaremagazine.com: Recently a blog post entitled “Why Desktop Linux is its own worst enemy has come across my feed-radar a few times. It’s yet another in the long line of “Linux ain’t ready yet” jeremiads and it doesn’t really say anything new yet it got on my nerves. Why?
Is it time for Open Source to grow up?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 06:28.ittoolbox/blog: In the past ten years Open Source software and its poster child, Linux, has expanded quite remarkably. It has changed from a rebel without a cause to an entity that even the tried and true establishments have sat up and taken notice. Yet Linux and open source seems to have hit a glass ceiling.
Shape of things to come
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 06:24.manilastandardtoday.com: ACER will be rolling out the Aspire One mini-notebook this week in Manila, its answer to the ground-breaking Asus Eee-PC. When it was introduced at the Taipei Computex last month, Aspire One seemed to be the most credible challenger to the Eee PC. But in a rapidly growing market, what’s hot is a fast-moving target.

Four favorite distros
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 17:23.usalug-org.blogspot: It is difficult for me to say that these are my four favorite distributions, period, without any qualifications. On the Ubuntu project alone, I am always torn between the XFCE based Xubuntu derivative and the KDE based Kubuntu derivative, and the 8.04 release is no exception.
HP Mini-Note a Sound Choice
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 15:41.linuxplanet.com: HP's entry into the sub-Mini-Notebook arena comes in the form of the HP 2133, a sleek-looking, brushed aluminum finished, lightweight but well built beauty. You can see the attention to detail in the engineering when you first open it up.
Evolution, Linux, and Gentoo
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 15:32.cookingwithlinux.com: I was first introduced to Linux in 1998, when it was, perhaps, entering “puberty”. When I was introduced to Linux, I was interested in learning about it. In those days, Linux was harder to use and if you didn't have a love of computers you might have given up. Linux has come a long way since then. Since I wanted more control of my system, I was interested in Gentoo.

Many wondered why and several complained that Ubuntu was becoming “Linux.” So, why is this? Here’s why:
How to really write a Linux review
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 13:05.itwire.com: There are some idiots I've encountered in my time but none so crazy as the guy who wants to define what a Linux review should comprise. His qualifications to offer such a definition are perfect - he has never written a review himself but he has read plenty of them.
A visit to the linux shop
Submitted by srlinuxx on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 13:01.linuxgeeksunited.blogspot: I saw yet another article posted by someone who apparently has nothing better to do than beat dead horses. The view espoused by so many bloggers and other 'writers' who cannot come to terms with the number and volume of distros available, that somehow there are 'too many', is akin to that of a child who complains in a candy store that because he or she cannot make up their mind.
