Nope, I am not talking about the curious little Madagascan primate, I am talking about the one from System 76! It has been a while since I have done a review, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working one up 🙂 At this past years Ohio Linux Fest I got to rub elbows with […]
I always love to see what people are doing on their Linux boxen so I figured I would offer up my current screenshot and see if I could encourage you all to do the same. Here I am this morning running Linux Mint 10 (realy nice btw), google chrome browsing my usual websites, thunderbird checking […]
After having a couple really long and bad weeks here at the Fessenden residence, I finally got the chance to send back my Think Penguin Air review unit. But right before I did that I wanted to make sure I wiped all my personal info from the computer. Cue Linux Mint 10 Release Candidate. I […]
I had the opportunity to check out some encrypted filesystem stuffs recently. The one that really stood out as easy to install. manage and use, for me, was EncFs. Now this post is mostly for posterity, but I wanted to share that, unless you are trying to get it running on RHEL, it’s pretty easy […]
I was sure excited when I saw the announcement that there would be a Linux Mint Debian edition. For some time now, I have been excited to look over practically anything involved with Linux Mint. It’s no secret that it is my favorite desktop Linux. I grabbed the iso and set about installing it on […]
Today is very important for Linux Mint. It’s one day to remember in the history of our project as we’re about to maintain a new distribution, a rolling one, which promises to be faster, more responsive and on which we’re less reliant on upstream components. Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) comes with a Debian base, […]
How many is too many? Is this excessive or have I just been watching too many episodes of Hoarders? Top – Dell Inspiron 15 – My “desktop” machine. Far left – Macbook 5,2 – Use when I am relaxing in bed with my feet propped up. Pisses me off that I cannot get Linux shoehorned […]
I just found out from a friend of mine that there is a link to TLLTS on the “News” section of firefox in the default install of Linux Mint 9! Sweet! Check out the pic at http://lincgeek.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/mint9-firefox.png. Addendum: Apparently there is quite some talk about TLLTS on the Mint Forums as well! http://linuxmint.com/planet/TLLTS_%28podcast%29/.
Why Grassman? Well, my preferred method of computer naming is to use Cryptids. You guessed it. That means I got a new (to me at least) computer. I did a little side work in exchange for a 10″ netbook and another Western Digital 1TB MyBook World Edition. I left the choice of netbook open and […]
Linux Mint 9 Isadora has been released. http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=1403 Once again the Mint team has done well. On my test hardware, Isadora runs strikingly well. It’s fast, faster than 8, and of course, beautiful to look at. Read the release notes for updates and changes, there are some good ones in there. In the mean time, […]
