I know I know, there is still nothing in the downloads section. 
I really do intend to put something there.  I also expected more
help on this.  This is free, you know.  In case you didn't
quite understand, any of the services that this site offers (blog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog)s,
news, downloads, etc.) is free for you to utilize.  […]

Today I had some kids in here who decided that they would play online
games on the computer, even though they were supposed to be in here
doing work.  I told them to leave, but of course, they were taking
their sweet time, trying to avoid going back to class.
I immediately SSHed into each box and shut down […]

I don't normally do this, but I have to give props to currently running an article about Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/). 
I suppose that's pretty big news since most people normally associate
PCs with Windows.  Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/) runs on both x86 (i.e. PC) and PowerPC
(i.e. Mac) architecture.

I got SuSE (http://www.suse.com) 9.3 and installed it on my laptop. I was immediately
impressed with some of their changes.
It worked very well with the laptop and even fixed some of the issues
that were present on the earlier version (9.1).
It has support for the ALPS touchpad, full support of the suspend
feature (I can close the lid […]

Our air conditioner seems to have stopped working over the
winter.  It worked last summer.  So, all projects are
suspended until it's fixed.  I'm not going to try working when
it's 80 degrees in here.  Until they come fix it, I have a
wonderful novel to read.
My book order arrived.  Lots of great books.  I ordered quite
a few graphic […]

Myth: The spread of Linux (http://www.linux.org) on the desktop has been limited by the
lack of support for hardware, difficulty of use and installation, and
lack of cohesion among different distributions.  It can never
compete with Windows as an operating system unless there is one
standard and hardware vendor support.
This cannot be further from the truth.  Linux (http://www.linux.org) supports […]

I got the new laptop.  It's an Averatec 5110H (http://www.averatec.com/archives/5110series.htm)
What's really interesting is that SuSE (http://www.suse.com) 9.2 tried to do the graphical
installation, but it didn't show up correctly.  It was mostly a
black screen and unreadable.  SuSE (http://www.suse.com) 9.1 defaulted to text-ncurses
installation, and it worked.
Everything here worked out of the box except for two things:
1. Suspend […]

No this is not a joke.  There is actually an organization called, The International Society of Altered Books (http://www.alteredbookartists.com). 
There was recently a discussion on LM_NET (http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/) about it.  I kind of
like the idea.  They take old, worn, falling apart books, and turn
them into artworks (collages, scrapbooks, etc.)
Some people raised objections about it, using intellectual […]

In order for free software to remain free, it becomes necessary, from
time to time, to assess its current state and purge it of its hidden
anomalies.
1. Java - The average user is annoyed by it anyway.  Why do
we use it?  Because people make us use it.  I've never gone
out and searched for some cool java […]

This is my second attempt at purchasing a laptop.  It's actually
quite a bit better than the other one (and more expensive).  My
wife and I are going half and half on it, so it doesn't seem quite as
expensive.
It's loaded with wireless, mobile processor, 15 screen, and tons of
other goodies.  And it's been tested and proven […]
