Ubuntu on an iBook

Ubuntu-News.net  Sat, 11/29/2008 - 02:30

I have a clam-shell iBook, (one of the originals, mind ya kindly, a rev. B 300 mHz, bondi blue!) I love this computer, so don’t ask to buy it ;).

It’ll be forever a classic in my view. I have to admit, though, it was beginning to feel a little bit dated.


 

Another Simple Scriptlet To Make The Unix And Linux CLI More Use...

Linux Today  Mon, 11/24/2008 - 04:03

The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "Today we're going to shoot out another quick scriptlet that might be useful (or distracting ;) from time to time.

It's a bit of a follow up on our post from earlier this week on using bash to produce fancy user names for folks logged into your machine, although it’s a little bit longer.

The past few weeks Benjamin Meyer has been spending a little bit of time here and there hacking on the source code of Google Chromium and thought he would write an update for those who are interested on the status of the native port of Chromium on Linux.


 

First Look at Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Beta

Ubuntu-News.net  Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:16

Although the desktop hasn't been reshaped, the features tweaked just a little bit, and most of the work focused on compatibility and usability (not that those are bad things, by any means), there are still some neat new tools and tweaks that are worth checking out.

Read on for our picture-filled take on the new Ubuntu.


 

Is the Linux community afraid of Opensolaris?

Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Mon, 10/20/2008 - 09:16

Okay,okay ... i know the headline is a little bit provoking. But when you think about some comments from Linux proponents you could think so.

This is an interesting development. In the years before, there wasn´t such comments. Solaris was considered as a dead end.

But then the game changed.
