The folks over at Pakt Publishing have asked me to review their new BackTrack Linux book, The BackTrack 5 Cookbook. Stay tuned right here for the review and in the mean time make sure to hit their website for more information!
Just a quickie update post before I forget. I mentioned one of the things I was still waiting for before I would start using Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon Edition in earnest was the keyboard shortcuts needed to be fixed. Well, apparently that is not a priority because they are still broken. A quick search in […]
Woo! It has been a while since I posted about any linuxy things here and I was just going to veg today, but I promised 🙂 It’s no secret that I have had a thing for Linux Mint for quite a while. It is a solid reliable distribution that “just works” and, personally, it’s the […]
