How I Shopped for An Ubuntu Laptop
http://allaboutubuntu.wordpress.com –
So, I’ve been shopping for a new laptop for a few months. I’ve got an old Thinkpad T23 that is showing it’s age — both in terms of performance and functionality. It has developed a number of minor quirks over the years, as most well-loved laptops do.

Linux RAID Smackdown: Crush RAID 5 with RAID 10
http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com –
I was already mourning the destruction of my Saturday, thanks to some blown deadlines, and was resigned to spending at least part of the day working. Then I made a fatal error: I read my email.

A port is being worked on and there has been a UT3 Linux server build, but any Linux (or Mac) demo/client has yet to be released. The UT3 v1.0 server was released to the public almost a month late.

Want to Run Linux on Your Nintendo Wii?
http://blogs.pcworld.com –

Go beer, then, and what's more, go who'd-a-thunk-it hacks that let you for-real load Linux and "embrace your inner penguin" on an unassuming white box half the size of a toaster.
