Red Hat's Fedora 11: So easy you'll forget it's Linux
http://news.cnet.com –
Red Hat has taken heat over the past few years for allegedly neglecting the personal computer in favor of more profitable enterprise servers. It's a fair critique: Red Hat is an enterprise software company, a decision it made years ago, and to good effect.

The incredible, expandable Linux netbook
http://blogs.the451group.com –
My Acer A1 netbook that I purchased three months ago has already had four operating systems installed and run on it — it shipped with Windows XP, then it had Ubuntu Netbook Remix 8.04, then I upgraded to UNR 9.10, then I went back to UNR 8.04. Oh and I burned an image of Moblin OS onto USB and took that for a test drive, too.

Tip: Make VLC Quit After Viewing Video/Audio
http://www.linuxloop.com –
What this does is create a playlist. The first item is the file you want to play, and the second item is "vlc://quit," which, rather obviously, is a command to tell VLC to quit. The effect is that as soon as your media stops playing, VLC exits.

Linux Hardware Support Better than Windows?
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org –
You know, the old thing about Linux was that it didn't necessarily support your (new) hardware. Greg Kroah-Hartman has been trying to bust that myth with the Linux Driver Project for a while now. But recent events have proved beyond doubt that not only is he right, but installing and using new devices on Linux is now much easier than on
