I don't want last quarter machines with 15 inch screens. I want what the article says, a totally different device that is made for surfing the net on the go, editing documents and other basic tasks at the lowest price point. Only Linux has been able to … (see comment)

Canonical and Valusoft bring Ubuntu plus support to Best Buy

Comment in News (11 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/10/2008
I don't know why people are criticizing this. I think it's a great idea. 90 days support and a manual plus no iso confusion. This is a great thing for a first time Linux user. (see comment)

Ubuntu at Best Buy: Package Details

Comment in News (6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/08/2008
I'm not opposed to this because this is what some people need. A detailed instruction booklet and a way to get it without downloading it. Sure you can get all that online but some people are comforted by having it all in a neat little package. (see comment)

Mini-Laptops look like the Next Big Electronics Change

Comment in Images (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/29/2008
I just got the HP mini-note but its fatal flaw is that it cant run the Vista Business addition is comes with well enough. Ill be putting Ubuntu or Xubuntu on it so I can speed up the time it takes from off to note taking. (see comment)

Comment in News (39 diggs, 3 replies) - on 05/21/2008
Considering it costs as much as 2 or 3 textbooks I say the laptop. In addition the laptop can carry limitless free and open textbooks as well as internet access for virtually unlimited resources... so its win win. (see comment)

Microsoft Office 2007 to Support ODF - and not OOXML

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/21/2008
This is great news for me. I use OpenOffice, Lotus Symphony, Google Docs and Word between my workplaces and OOo/Word at home. Word is the weak link currently due to the lack of native ODF. I will feel a little better about using it now. (see comment)

Dell to sell eco bamboo computer

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 05/18/2008
This is a great concept from Dells end but it means nothing if they put an operating system on it that has its obsolescence planned/forced. If Linux is the default OS for this machine it would actually mean something. (see comment)

Linux On A Stick: Fedora 9 Puts Your Desktop on a USB Drive

Comment in News (5 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/17/2008
Hmm... are you sure? Would windows distribute a live version?.... No. And if they don't it certainly wouldn't be legal to obtain one or make your own.... making this inconvenient to say the least. (see comment)
