Linux Rants

- Can I be first in line to try it?

- Only two thirds more to go!

- I’ve been doing this with Compiz for a while now. At first I thought that it was kind of a stupid idea, but after using it for a while, I’m eating my words. Try it out.

- Unfortunately, I’ve never used Linux with multiple monitors (just lazy on my part). This looks like an interesting discussion.

- While this isn’t exactly about Operating Systems, it does involve your security, so I thought that it was a good thing to post.

- A little sparse on details, but…

- I’m hoping that it’s the 2.0 or 2.1. After the Moto-Droid came out with 2.0, phones that aren’t running 2.0+ seem kind of like yesterday’s phones.

- Just 7? Sheesh. Lazy.

- I’m pulling for Android!

- It definitely looks like a new “Droid” phone, but I’m thinking that 8 megapixel is actually a 5 megapixel. I do like the new form-factor. It is “slicker” looking than the current Moto-Droid. The 2.0 version maybe (not to be confused with Android 2.0, which Moto-Droid 1.0 already has).

- More Linux based phones heading your way. Good? Bad? No one knows right now.

- The race is on!!

- This is a perfect opportunity for Linux. When it comes to a time when the majority of the price of a Netbook is the cost of the OS, a free OS is a perfect option.

- Wow, Microsoft ISN’T to blame for once. Really?

- The only way that I can see to pull this off is some kind of integrated plug and play module that will pull Printer drivers from an online repository. There’s going to have to be some kind of Control Panel for printers to compensate for adding Network Printers (especially since Google is aiming for the Netbook market). It’ll be interesting to see what Google’s implementation looks like.

- Shocking! Absolutely shocking! Oh wait…

- Oooo, this could be good.

- Answers to some interesting questions. Always best to a have as much of the story as possible.

- This could be something that Apple might be interested in. With a minor warning that Apple doesn’t in any way support this EFI utility, they could relieve themselves of any involvement, and still spread their OS to desktops of individuals who wouldn’t buy a REAL Macintosh computer. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Apple turned it down.

- Well, at least it’s a different color. Variety is the spice of life after all.
