Linux has better Windows compatibility than Vista
By Chris on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008 | No Comments
Something Linux users have known for a while is that it is much more stable than Windows. However this is one comparison that will raise a few eyebrows! Linux has better Windows compatibility than Vista Posted on January 31, 2008 I have been using Vista for well over a year now (since Beta 1). Of [...]
Read More...KDE4 My first impressions
By Chris on Monday, January 14th, 2008 | No Comments
I downloaded and installed KDE 4 on my Kubuntu Linux laptop tonight. Actually, it is a dual-boot system with Windows XP as there are still a couple things that I need windows for work. But for the most part, I run in Linux. Using Kubuntu and following the instructions on their website, things went very [...]

After about 6 years of loyal Mandriva (Mandrake) linux usage, I have finally taken the chance to switch to a different linux distribution.

You can at least avoid license fees and run great software by running open source applications. These applications are free to download, free to choose, and free to use. They are [...]

I have been a Linux user for about 2 years now. I absolutely love using this operating system. What is Linux? It is a windows desktop replacement or a server. I use Mandriva – you see, Linux comes in many flavors. Red Hat, Fedora Core, Slax, Yellow Dog, Umbutu, to name a few. Unlike Microsoft [...]

By Chris on Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 | No Comments
About a year and a half ago, I decided to take a leap of faith and get off the Microsoft bandwagon. I backed up my data and installed Mandrake Linux (now called Mandriva Linux). I wanted to try something new. Having been a MS user since DOS 4.something, I felt that it was time to [...]

By Chris on Monday, October 17th, 2005 | No Comments
Ever heard of “Open Source” software? There is a slew of “free” (as in choice, but in cost too) software that you may want to check out. Although I am a Linux proponent (more about that later), there are several software tools that you can use in Windows too. Here is a list of some [...]
