Linux

Ubuntu 9.10 (codename Karmic Koala) is coming soon! Gone are the days when Linux desktop is just for computer enthusiasts! Each release of Ubuntu brings new improvements in usability and stability, and 9.10 is no exception. I invite you to check out the feature list and download or order a CD to be shipped out to you completely free of charge!

An interesting new tool. I guess a replacement of the old ntpasswd tool -- but this time, looks like you don’t need to reset passwords -- you just get into the system.

LinuxMint is a Linux flavour based off Ubuntu. Here I was, thinking that Ubuntu offers the best-looking, most polished end-user experience... and then I stumble upon the LinuxMint project. All I can say is, WOW! From boot to shutdown, I was impressed. Check it out for yourself:

P.S. Keep in mind that you can always try LinuxMint or Ubuntu on your computer without touching any data on it (Linux will load and run entirely off the CD).
