Use virtualization software? Check out VirtualBox 2.1, which adds some exciting new features: Support for 64-bit guests on 32-bit host operating systems. Testing a 64-bit desktop is now much easier thanks to VirtualBox supporting 64-bit guests on 32-bit hosts. It's pretty impressive that this is even possible!

I hope someone maintains Amarok 1.4
http://briancarper.net –

The Range of Linux Distributions
http://community.zdnet.co.uk –
A comment from Tezzer to my recent blog post about Two New Linux Beta Distributions got me thinking. Tezzer mentions using Debian, but looking at PCLinuxOS and others for systems that have "issues" with some Linux distributions. I have heard the same comments on other blog posts, and in fact I have seen the same sort of "issues" with my Lifebook S2110 (often because of the ATI display adapter).

http://the-gay-bar.com –
I tried reviewing Amarok2 before but it won't work on the 64bit machine but since those reviews that were not masturbating about technological details but that were written by people wanting to use an audio player drew a bad picture I thought I should have a look myself.

Care for some WINE?
http://indiapavan.wordpress.com –
Ah the taste of victory. It is sweet. :) Especially if it is an immense victory over Microsoft. I know, I should probably get a life and stop boasting about my small over-comings of Microsoft’s huge shortcomings. :D I should also stop drinking too much tea. I think it’s melting my brain. :D No?
