I've done a bit of research on Windows 7 Enterprise to discover some of its new features and to uncover its secrets. From what I've seen so far, Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com) has provided some...

If you weren't already familiar with the likes of GNOME, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Enlightenment and others, what would you like to see in a Linux User Interface? Whether you call it a desktop manager, a...

According to an ongoing debate over the GPL version 3, he does. How can this be, since Linus Torvalds, creator and chief architect of the Linux kernel, knows about software freedom and free software?...

At my last, best count, there were over 550 individual Linux distributions. From the most generic, flat installs of the most common distros to ultra-specialized, multimedia-oriented to the...

This is a quote pulled from the Trisquel site:

"Trisquel 3.0 STS "Dwyn", free software only
Trisquel GNU/Linux is a version of the Ubuntu operating system which main goal is to...

All good alternatives but you have to admit that DSL is very cool and was easy for non-Linux types to use. I'll check out some of the others and perhaps drop Rob S. a note to see what's going on with...

It's a fact of life that Linux distributions go extinct and it happens more often than our Linux fan base would like to admit. At last count, there are approximately 50...

Thanks Crash, it was meant to be snarky and funny. Glad you enjoyed it.

Maybe the "official" Mono Tools goes to 11. Surely Miguel de Icaza knows about the free ones. He is the main guy for this toolset.

Today, Tuesday November 10, 2009, Novell (http://www.novell.com) announces a Visual Studio plugin that allows support for non-Microsoft operating systems that use .NET code development on a platform...

Have you searched for Linux distributions that are 100% free? Did you find more than one that suited your needs? Well, here's a list of nine from which you can choose your favorite. Free means...

My versions of Delta Force are old. I run Delta Force 2 (1999) and the last time I tried (2007) when WINE was still in its 10 year beta cycle, it didn't work* like I wanted. I was...

I don't know who Bob Cringley is but if it took him 7 hours to install Windows 7, he needs to find a different profession or get better hardware. Ubuntu installs quickly too...as I said, once I see...

That's the last time I ran a Linux desktop as my primary desktop operating system. I have a dual boot Netbook with XP and Presto Linux plus I have several Linux VMs.

@EdenMar
I should have been more clear. I used SUSE and KDE with VMware to run a Windows 98 and a Windows NT VM. The computer had KOffice and was my primary workstation. Eventually, I had to reimage...

Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com)'s CEO, Mark Shuttleworth fired one over Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com)'s bow with a statement that the soon to be released Ubuntu 9.10 is ready to go head-to-head...

Funny and commendably sarcastic. Good work.

It's a cell phone for crying out loud. Do you get it? A cell phone. You know, you make and receive phone calls on it. It's a telephone that you carry around in your pocket. Who gives a rip whether...

Yesterday was Microsoft's big day. Windows 7 was released. Did you go buy your copy already? Are you waiting? Whether you have or haven't doesn't really matter but I'm going to give you my five...

LOL, I thought the song was hilarious. My daughter watches the show and the song is a spoof of the original. You'd just have to see it.

My "10 Best Linux Distributions of 2009 (http://www.daniweb.com/news/story229382.html)" list drew a bit of disdain from some of my readers, so I thought I'd make it up to them by posting a list of...

@esavard

OMG, I can't let my daughter see that.

@sourceview

I didn't include FreeBSD because it isn't Linux. These are the top 10 Linux distributions. It's possible that I could do a 10 best server OSs but that's a whole other ball of wax.

It was exactly one year ago today that I published my original "The 10 Best Linux Distributions (http://www.daniweb.com/news/story219749.html)" and it's time to put forth a new list for this year's...

@phatbrucelee

You are correct! When the government can push us around to satisfy the pandering crybabies of the world, innovation will surely suffer.

I had the honor and pleasure of speaking to Richard Stallman (http://www.fsf.org) a few days ago while he was in New Zealand on a speaking tour. I had been in an email conversation with him over...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating IBM (http://www.ibm.com)'s computer market conduct and, depending on the outcome, it might just affect your beloved Apple (http://www.apple.com)...

No, I'm not talking about a Linux vs. Microsoft or Apple vs Microsoft but rather a prediction by UN Telecommunications Agency Chief Hamadoun Toure'. Apparently, the U.S. Homeland Security and other...

It's still beta so there are some bugs. One I found is that if you install it in a VM, don't use a SCSI disk, use IDE for the VM's hard disk choice. It crashes and hangs if you don't. So far, I've...

Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com) has redeemed itself with its latest version 9.10 (Karmic Koala). I took a look at Ubuntu 9.10 on October 1st and have been playing around with it for a few days. My...

You often hear the terms 'free software' and open source used interchangeably but they're not the same. In fact, true free software zealots launch into a fiery diatribe on the issue should you even...

Try connecting it via a wire to troubleshoot any other issues. If it connects fine with a regular network cable then you'll know it's the wireless card or its settings.

Nah, not me, not stumped at all. ;-)

What the heck is happening in Redmond? Is Microsoft really giving away antivirus software? Yes, friends, it appears that they are (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/). Come on Microsoft,...

Since I check my linkbacks religiously, I noticed one of the comments over at linsux.org (http://www.linsux.org) (An anti-Linux rant site) on my recent post, "5 Things You Can Do to Put Linux in the...

This is a plea to all hardware manufacturers: Please create Linux drivers for your hardware. OK, so Linux isn't the Stormin' Norman of the Desktop arena but that doesn't mean its users don't want or...

This is the third entry in the continuing "cave dwellers" saga (http://www.daniweb.com/news/story223037.html) and their new lives with Ubuntu. Someone posted a comment on the previous cave dwellers...

I will never again refer to the Linux Desktop in any of my writings beyond this post. From now on, it's the Linux User Interface, which encompasses the likes of GNOME (http://www.gnome.org), KDE...
