Whiz bang gadgets and myself are usually not uttered in the same sentence. I’m pretty basic. I like simple desktops like XFCE and Openbox…I like plain things. Give me bread, cheese and water and I’m a happy man. Give me wine and I’m your friend for life : I’ve tried to simplify in the past [...]
I’ve been distro shopping lately. I had become complacent while working with PCLinuxOS because everything just works when using it. With nothing broken, I had nothing to fix This is a good thing, unless you want things to break every once in a while so you can learn to fix them. I know, [...]
I’m not a hater of Ubuntu by any means. I think it’s done a ton of good for Linux. It’s opened many doors and perceptions of users everywhere.

I previously spoke about the game “World of Goo” a few months ago on Yet Another Linux Blog. I was eagerly anticipating the release of a Linux port of the game and attempted to drum up support for the release of the game for the Linux platform. All the efforts of bloggers everywhere has paid [...]
If you’re a Foresight Linux user, there are many resources you have at your disposal for documentation. First and foremost, you have the excellent guide shipped by default in Foresight accessible in the menu…but there are other resources you can search for a resolution to your problems. The Foresight Wiki and Foresight Forum are other [...]
I was shopping around for a mouse for gaming. After reading the reviews, I found that I wanted to give the Microsoft Sidewinder x8 a try (previously had a Logitech G5 that broke). It works great in Windows, which I dual boot on my gaming machine. However, when I try to use it in Linux…it [...]
What usability reasons do you have for using Gnome vs. KDE? I’m looking for usability issues here and not specific bugs that cause you to drop one on its head. Bugs can be fixed.
