UPDATE: Foresight Linux 2.0.6 has recently updated the stable branch with python 2.6. Therefore, much of this post is not needed to get Foresight KDE 4.2 running. I’ve crossed through the portions not needed. Thanks for reading!
I’ve been working with a lot of different distributions out there the past few days and haven’t found one [...]
Some of you may have noticed a few blips in RSS feeds during the last month or so. The blips were caused by two things..
I switched from Serendipity Blogging Engine to Wordpress
YALB gained a sponsor for hosting
Now, I’ve been running the new blogging engine and software for over a month now so that I could [...]
I’ve been asked by various people how I keep up to date with technology news, research, and the latest reports…mainly because I’m never at a loss for words when discussing something (big mouth much?). Of course, many people haven’t heard of RSS at all and don’t know that one can have a program to [...]

I decided to go ahead and install each distro (current version) and re-orient myself and discuss what Mrs.Devnet liked and what she didn’t like about each [...]
Linuxblog Introduction: We took an average windows user, gave her a handful of distributions of Linux, and forced her to use each distro for one week. We gave her alsaconf, email servers, and mounted her windows partition to the fresh install. Then, we faded away and quietly watched her in her new environment. You too [...]
What do you get when you take 1 new Linux user with zero Linux experience, add 5 distros and stir? You get the Linux Blog experiment, that’s what. What makes these reviews different from all other reviews is that they are done by an avid Windows user. That means they’re not sugar [...]
