Welcome back!Ok, this one doesn’t make sense to me. Dell is working a deal to sell their machines at wally world and they’ve also been talking about offering some models with Linux pre-installed instead of windows.
Just these two things by themselves should have Dell doing enough better that they shouldn’t need to laying off [...]
I just saw an AP news story on iwon.com that talked about Dell’s recent decision to once again give people the option of getting XP instead of Vista. The article said that they did this because on Dell’s Ideastorm site, the “Don’t eliminate XP just yet” idea racked up over 10,000 votes.
That’s all fine [...]
I just noticed (ok, this is a tad old, but still worth mentioning) that after 22 months of development since ‘Sarge’ was released as Debian GNU/Linus 3.0, Debian has finally declared ‘Etch’ stable and released it as Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.
Trivia question: what do the codenames of Debian GNU/Linux have in common?
Release 3.1 is ‘sarge’, [...]
In a move that’s going to leave a LOT of customers (not to mention might-have-been customers!) cold on HP it seems that their warranty will not be honored if you choose to run linux.
Why this is so is a question I haven’t seen answered. I can’t help thinking that when I buy a computer [...]
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio Canada has an article in which they’re encouraging PC users that instead of whatever flavor of Microsoft windows you care to name OR the MAC alternative, they should give serious consideration to Ubuntu Linux.
The writer does a great job of giving a ‘quick version’ history of Linux and explaining that not only [...]
Word is out, Ubuntu is releasing their new Beta version, code named “FeistyFawn”. It is the Beta release of what will eventually be known as Ubuntu 7.04 when it is release sometime in April 07. It should be noted that this IS a beta testing release and they’re not yet recommending it for [...]
… for a live-cd of debian etch. Beginning to think nobody’s going to bother doing one. Too bad, it would be at least a halfa**ed way to do a dual boot. I may end up breaking down and trying Ubuntu instead.
Share and Enjoy:
I know there’s a so-called ‘Live-CD’ available for several distributions of linux, but is there perhaps one available for Debian? Im particularly interested in one for Debian Etch.
Does it (or will it) exist?

I just saw something on Slashdot that gives a little hope that the world need not be forever Windoze powered. Somebody posted a link to a Dell website that is concentrating on finding out what users want.
The most popular item on the list is “Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot” [...]
