Linux the cool factor

http://www.handlewithlinux.com

I have a bunch of designers at my job, and they all carry around an apple. No not the fruit, you know the vastly overpriced and over-hyped electronics brand. These guys think they are so cool. While Linux is actually a lot cooler then apple, it's not perceived by enough people as being cool.

Linux.com: A Promising Community Portal for Linux

http://www.linuxloop.com

There are a lot of Linux portals out there, but, until now, none of them have really seemed like the right central source for Linux information. This isn't to say there aren't great Linux websites out there, but many of them are of a different kind. This website, for example, is primarily focused on news. What has been missing is a community-powered portal for Linux.

From intrepid to jaunty.... with no room left

http://maratux.blogspot.com

Today I decided to move my desktop to jaunty. It's still an alpha but I'm not afraid of having to face a non-working Xorg once in a while and having to use the VTs instead. Given the speed improvements I've read about... the time is now... there's just a tiny little problem. I have no room left to do the dist-upgrade:

Anybody up to writing good directory software?

Tue, 2007-02-20 11:17 — David Jonathan

From the very start, directories have served a very useful purpose on the Internet. (One I find useful for example is Free Web Directory). News sites can also be considered directories: they index and categorize news stories! What about categorizing software? In the open source world you get Savannah, SourceForge, Freshmeat; there are still, believe it or not, shareware and freeware directories like FileBuzz, PCWin Download Center and Freeware Downloads (although you need to be careful, as they are not like their free-as-in-freedom counterparts).

Is better education the key to finding better software?

Sat, 2007-03-03 03:25 — Edward Russel

About Jonathon's article Anybody Up To Writing Good Directory Software?, it's clear that the topic of software directories is very hot. Most of what you find on Google, however, are not pointing to free and open soruce software -- or worse, they mix the two. Examples of such sites are Freeware Downloads and Shareware Download, which simply don't focus on "free as in freedom", and still can be used as good free software directories.
