Google Chrome for Mac and Linux Out of Beta
That's right, folks. Google just announced that Chrome for Mac and Linux is out of beta. They feel they've squashed enough bugs to get it up to snuff with the Windows version and have released it as of today. Google is also touting its speed increases with the latest version for all three platforms. Since the first beta, they've increased [...]
New Ubuntu LTS Coming Soon
That's right, folks. My favorite Linux distribution ever is nearing the release of its next LTS (Long Term Service) release by the name of Lucid Lynx (10.04). The most notable changes in this release are: Removal of HAL from the boot process. This makes booting much, much faster, even on semi-old hardware. I'm running the RC on a P4 3 GHz [...]
SUSE Studio Review
About three weeks ago, I ran across an interesting offering by SUSE. They've created a website that allows you to create your own custom Linux (SUSE, of course) build, with exactly the packages you want installed. You can start out with a JeOS build and expand from there, or you can start out with a standard Gnome or KDE (3 or 4) build and add [...]
Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X
I ran across a Linux Magazine Article by Nathan Willis that compared the latest Ubuntu release to the current version of Mac OS X.

Anyway, the article goes into pretty good detail as it [...]
10 Things Linux Does Better Than OS X

But at the same time, several good points are made. First and foremost in the minds of a lot of people are how 'pretty' the OS is. Face it - if it's ugly, most [...]
Fedora 10 Set to be Released Today
In a recent interview, Linus Torvalds himself said that he uses Fedora 9 on most of his computers. His reason? He wants it to be easy to install and keep up to date. That speaks a lot for Fedora - Linus' thinking is that he would rather be working on the kernel (That's kinda what he does...) than wrestling with the OS that he [...]
An Ubuntu 8.10 Review by a Mac User
Bogdan Stroe wrote over at tuxgeek.me about his experience using Ubuntu 8.10 for a couple of days. Now, I'm a huge Linux fan. I have two computers at work, a laptop and a PC. My laptop dual boots between XP and Ubuntu. XP is for work, and Ubuntu is for anything else I ever use the laptop for. My work PC has only Ubuntu on it. My PC at [...]
