I’ve been using Firefox’s fullscreen mode on my Eee PC to get the maximum amount of vertical screen space possible.

This bug can be worked around by changing an advanced Compiz setting to turn off the unredirecting of fullscreen windows.

I move from computer to computer constantly -- desktops, laptops, testing machines -- and rather than worry about synchronizing the assorted hard disks content, I prefer to keep one central copy of my documents that I can access anywhere. I do that using wdfs, the WebDAV file system for FUSE.

The widespread ambivalence to Vista has provided a window of opportunity for alternatives to Microsoft Windows. Reports released in early June, for instance, suggested that Linux use, while still a tiny minority, rose 18% from last year on computers accessing 40,000 websites monitored by Net Applications.

I obtained a rather small nice little machine the other day, and having never heard one of my DVDs in full surround sound, I decided to turn this box into a DVD player.

This is my first time to try out LXDE. I am curious about it and there are certain things that I am glad are in LXDE. For one thing, Alt+F2 also pops up a run dialog box so I could type the name of the application I want to run. There are even suggestions as to what I could run when I typed the first how many letters of the application’s name.
