An article over at Linux.com on Debian 4 (Etch) got me interested to try it out. Since then, I’ve installed it a hand-full of times and have converted a few friends, too. I have read many articles by impressed bloggers about Debian Etch’s impressive features, and I have been impressed by my first hand impressions. [...]

It’s just how i roll.
Update:
So I thought this would just be a lighthearted post but it is actually quite popular; now i feel like an ass for not explaining and just sticking out my tongue saying: i got it you don’t shut up.
What it is is a x window tunneled over ssh using putty and [...]

I upgraded my intel machine to Kubuntu Edgy Eft today. The process was long but smooth. i had been messing with my sources.list file for a while now and kind of wanted to start fresh, so i used the one from Ubuntu Guide. Everything worked well and it booted like a champ as if nothing [...]

Major updates to Edgy Eft have resulted in a much faster user experience. Although I can’t prove it, Firefox seems much more stable as well. Still waiting on win32codecs and ruby gems but Anjunta (misspelled in a previous post) is available. It is GNOME based which I didn’t realize. I also grabbed KDevelop which has [...]

My desktop/production computer and my media/home theater computer are back to back. Sure I could NFS my music onto the desktop computer and control it all locally (or get up and walk around like I have been doing), but instead I decided to play with VNC and Remote Desktop Connection (kRDC). It is set [...]

win32codecs
The video support is still lacking.  I’m waiting on the win32codecs and better firefox support for video in general.

I like gmail and I like Konqueror but the latter is not “supported” by the former. And let’s face it, the plain html version of gmail is worthless. To get the full functioning gmail in an unsupported browser like Konqueror, use this url:
http://mail.google.com/mail/?nocheckbrowser

On my set up, Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft works. All it took was a: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (i chose to use gdm).
Still no luck with bluetooth. Codecs are still a bit of problem (big surprise, right?) since there are no win32codecs in the repos. As Edgy Eft becomes less and less beta, I have [...]

Success is so sweet when followed by anxiety. Linux is up and running on the iMac making my lan completely linux. Here’s what I did:
First I tried an install of Suse 10.1 (open). I was a little disapointed to see it was 5 disks — I admire a distro that gets it done in [...]

I own an original iMac G5 17″ that I have designated as my production/desktop machine. I’ve been running panther on it for the last two years…until today that is. Since I began using Linux seriously, I have become more and more frustrated by the limitations of OS X. I made attempts at using Fink (package [...]
