Linux gets jiggy with more filesystems in 2.6.34 kernel release

kernel != application

"The other 39841 Linux users would much prefer a workable alternative to Visio"

The Netbook Newbie's Guide to Linux

ASUS netbook newbies guide

You might want to add ASUS there, as I also own a netbook, but an Acer one (running LinPus) which is not the same hardware and distribution...

Illegal pharmaceutical ads infiltrate gov, edu sites (again)

Sadly, I am really starting to wonder what abuse reports affect people in charge. Most of the time (been doing that for 10 years now), you just never get a reply.

Apple rewards developers with bricked iPhone

re: bricked

Well, bricked means unusable due to firmware not working correctly, but it doesn't mean that nothing can be done to revert or fix that behavior.

Citrix debuts XenServer 4.1 with simpler pricing

And where's the source Luke?

It is all nice and everything that they released their commercial stuff but where is the OpenSource equivalent? All I can see from http://www.xen.org/ is the old (and insecure) 3.2 tarballs

Latest Vista SP1 tweak open to everyone with a week to spare

Re: What's the problem?

Seriously guys, the whole Windows management is easier than Unix/Linux is overrated. It all depends which solution you chose/implemented. I don't find one harder than the other.
