using linux

Linux users are individualistic, one branch of this rugged individualism, so to speak, is running Linux in different environments.

Just using Linux in your PC? Ok, that’s pretty good. But how about building a Linux system from scratch?

Or on your phone? Even better, how about in your car?

A good look at CUPS: using Linux as a cross-platform printer server, Hewlett-Packard's commitment to Linux printing, and why all the things that vex us-- poor notifications, crummy errors messages, inadequate user control panels, difficult color profiling-- are still problems even well into this glorious new millennium.

Linux.com: "The library needed a print queue to enable library staff to control patrons' print jobs. It needed to be easy to set up and maintain and cost nothing.

We found the answer in using Linux as a print server."

I've been using Linux for 8 years. Ubuntu 'Intrepid Ibex' is the best of the best and is a brilliant achievement.

There's one thing though: there's a bug that's ruining my hardware...

As part of an ongoing experiment, and effort to help my fellow students, I've been working on a project to inform everyone I meet, any chance I have, about the benefits of Open Source and the joy of using Linux and BSD on their computers.

My Blog describes the "must do" things to be done by every linux user, which are essential to have a friendly and easy experience using linux in 12 steps.Like watching movie,enabling cool desktop effects,mounting images,playing windows games.They are almost same in every linux distros,other distro user will also benefit because the things are same!

To those who are using Linux and are seriously considering a career in web development, you can try some of these great Free and Open-source HTML editors.

John Sokol writes "I just heard from a good friend and Linux kernel hacker in Brazil that they have just finished their municipal election with 128 million people using Linux to vote.

They voted nationwide for something like 5,000 city mayors. Voting is mandatory in Brazil. The embedded computer they are using once ran VirtuOS (a variant of MSDOS); it now has its own locally developed, Linux-based distro.

These are much nicer, smaller, and cheaper than the systems being deployed here in the US. Here is a Java-required site with a simulated Brazilian voting system.

If you are using Linux with GNOME as your desktop manager, then you will be familiar with Nautilus. Nautilus is the default file manager for Gnome - the place where you go to when you need to hunt down a particular file.

In case you are not aware, Nautilus also serves the context menu whenever you right-click your mouse on the desktop.
