A few years ago I used to keep spindles of blank CDs and DVDs next to my computer because I was frequently burning discs, but over the last year or two that has drastically changed. Now I have my discs tucked away since I barely burn one or two discs per year.

I consider myself a Windows guy, but there are things I prefer doing on Linux mainly because of its advanced terminal. My unwillingness to pick a side has some inconvenient implications: rebooting into Linux every time takes too much time and virtualized Linux tends to be a little slow on most machines.

Computers are continuing to get more and more powerful, but a lot of people don't need that extra computing power that the advances in technology bring to the table. At home most people only do things like check their email, chat with friends, and other basic tasks. Dell has recognized this, and the new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 will fill that need.
The last few Alpha releases of Ubuntu 8.10 have been a bit controversial because of the dark brown theme, called NewHuman, that it was shipping by default. Good news for those of you who weren't too fond of that theme...
As you probably remember Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 was sporting a brown theme when it was released, and it made some people do a double-take to figure out what the heck was going on. Just about two-weeks ago Alpha 3 was released of the new version of Ubuntu, and it still included the dark brown theme (called NewHuman) from the original release.
I'm sure many of you already know that Ubuntu is not only available as a free download, but you can also order it on a CD at absolutely no cost. What's the fun in that when you can actually pay to have the CD delivered to your home?
One of the the most frequent comments I hear from new Ubuntu users is that the default theme for the operating system is a tad too brown. I kind of like the current Ubuntu theme, but it was supposed to get an overhaul with the last release. The new default theme has got pushed back to Ubuntu 8.10, and we're getting our first glimpse of the new theme now that Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 has shipped.

A couple of weeks ago I got an email forwarded to me and it was a list of rules that Bill Gates gave in a speech at a High School.
A huge milestone for Ubuntu was just released! Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron is only the second release of the popular Linux operating system to offer Long Term Support (LTS). The last version was 6.06 which is coming up on two years old, but they are still supporting it until June 2009 for the desktop and June 2011 for the server.
It's coming up on one year since Dell started selling computers that are preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux. Towards the end of last year some stats started rolling in saying that Dell had only sold 40,000 Ubuntu machines, which equates to about 220 units per day. That's not too shabby considering the only form of advertising for the Dell Ubuntu machines is by word of mouth.
We wrote about the CanSecWest conference last week when the hacking contest was on its second day. The second day consisted of stock configurations along with browsers and some mail applications. That's when the MacBook Air laptop was hacked in in about 2 minutes utilizing a Safari vulnerability that Apple has now been notified of.
