Ubuntu Eee is a popular Linux distribution designed for Asus Eee PCs. It’s based on Ubuntu Linux, but it’s not an official Ubuntu project and so developer Jon Ramvi has been searching for a new name for the Ubuntu Eee for the last few months to avoid trademark issues. Today he’s announced the new name: Easy Peasy.

http://www.linux.com –
As a regular browser of the Firefox Add-ons site, I'm troubled by the apparent proliferation of proprietary extensions in the last year. Maybe I've simply exhausted the free-licensed extensions that interest me, but recently every interesting-looking extension seems to be a proprietary one -- especially in the recommended list.

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com –
I once wrote an article on Xvid 1.1.3, and the speed boost one could get by enabling assembly-optimized code. Well, this is a case of my being hoisted by my own petard - however, I must admit that several things were against me.
In short, Murphy's Law struck again.

Amarok2.0 Part Two: Continued failure
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.
