However, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes wrote a great Ubuntu-specific post explaining how it's done. Windows Vista doesn't always do so well with the partitioner software built...

- SUSE vs. Ubuntu - first impressions
- I've used SUSE Linux before, but that was way back in the day of version 9. Things have changed a lot since then, both with OpenSUSE (the open source incarnation of Novell's SUSE Linux) and in the open source community as a whole. I've been happily using Kubuntu...

- Installing Linux - The joy of live CDs
- Yesterday I went through various distributions and architectures for a Linux installation, focusing in particular on OpenSUSE.

- So when can we get our hands on Ubuntu Dells? And do we want to?
- With quite a bit of fanfare in the geek community, Dell began selling desktops and laptops to consumers today preloaded with Ubuntu 7.04. The fanfare was not so obvious on the Dell homepage - if you didn't know to go directly to www.dell.com/linux, you were out of luck. ...

- Automatix - an essential add-on that further mainstreams Ubuntu
- As I grow increasingly fond of my Kubuntu install, Im looking for any avenues that might make it even easier for the average ed tech guy or girl to deploy on the average PC in our environment. While the setup is largely straightforward, there are a few niggles that...

- With Feisty Fawn comes a new Edubuntu
- Ubuntu and, to a lesser extent, Kubuntu have been receiving a lot of well-deserved attention with the release of Feisty Fawn. Version 7.04 of this Linux distro is widely acknowledged as a solid choice for "mainstream" Linux users and has some real appeal in Ed Tech because of its...

- Guess how I'm writing this post?
- Im writing in Ubuntu 7.04, freshly installed on my laptop. Now I have my very own triple-boot system (Windows Vista Business, 32-bit; Windows XP Pro, 64-bit; and Ubuntu, 64-bit). The question I posed earlier this week was, "Will the latest Ubuntu distro finally provide a mainstream Windows alternative?"...

- Will the latest Ubuntu distro finally provide a mainstream Windows alternative?
- Long hampered by driver issues especially surrounding wireless networking, Linux has failed to take off in mainstream markets. Ubuntu and its Kubuntu and Edubuntu brethren have had more success than most owing to their easy installs and smart interfaces. April 19th marks the release date for the latest...

- An interesting exchange on politics and IT

- Is Microsoft a dinosaur to Google's mammal?
- Random comments...How odd the mixed metaphors sound... "built from the ground up to work in the cloud"...The dinosaurs were around for tens of millions of years, and we mammals can barely say the same. The crown of creation can be wrested from the head of the wearer by something unforeseen--like...
