Today’s distro has been described as the Ubuntu of the BSD world. PC-BSD is an easy to use version of FreeBSD. FreeBSD is the behemoth in the BSD world and would probably have a much larger desktop presence if the BSDs hadn’t run into copyright and other proprietary problems right around when most [...]

People often groan when they hear of someone making another game of Tetris, Window Manager, or audio program. After all, people ask, “Do we really need another? Why can’t you just contribute to fixing annoying bug X in gTetris/KDE/xmms?” I’ve always been on the side of the argument that said – “So what! They’re doing [...]

Somewhere along the line I got into my head that Slackware was a distro that involved having to compile everything. From what I can gather from Wikipedia, The Slackware Website, and some comments to my Gentoo post, I was wrong. Gentoo apparently uses packages, just like every other modern distro. The difference [...]

This has also aways bothered me. As usual, Randall, at xkcd, has put in a comic what was in my head. Recently, I was thinking of making a post about how old concepts from the 1400s and 1500s still influence our terminology and words today. One of the most prominent ones you often hear on [...]

I’ve always been one of those guys that believe you should try everything you want to do. Just throw it at the wall and see what sticks. That’s how I got into blogging back in 2003. (Holy cow, almost exactly 5 years to the day) It’s also how I got into computer animation. And photography. [...]

One of the biggest Ubuntu stories on the net is the elimination of xorg.conf. They haven’t made it unnecessary, they’ve completely eliminated it. If you create one and edit it – it will have no effect. I have not yet upgrade to 8.10, so I can’t verify it, but so far I haven’t seen any [...]

I’ve been spending time in KDE on the weekends since I usually don’t need to update my podcasts (which I manage in Rythmbox) and here are my current impressions. Now that the latest nVidia drivers have come out, I was able to enable the desktop composite effects in KDE. This does not use Compiz, but [...]

First I updated Wine to 1.0.0 (It didn’t work properly on 0.94) on Ubuntu. In there I have D as the CDROM drive. So I typed wine d:\install.exe This installed just fine
Here’s what happened with 0.94 when I first started this post:
But the first time I clicked to play it, it did not [...]

This month’s Linux Format Magazine came with CentOS 5.2 on the disc. CentOS, in case you don’t know, is a community supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (RHEL) Again, in the unlikely case you don’t know – Red Hat is required to supply the source code to all GPL code it [...]
