New AntiX distro makes older hardware usable
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been a fan of SimplyMEPIS for years. The distribution was one of the
| early pioneers in the field of user-friendly Linux development, and to this
| day offers a system that usually "just works." Earlier this month the MEPIS
| site announced a community variation for older computers based on
| SimplyMEPIS. AntiX is an installable live CD that features a modern kernel,
| recent X server, and lighter applications for use on computers with as little
| as 64MB RAM. I tried it, and liked what I found.

Desktop search tools for GNU/Linux: the competition hots up - Tracker, Recoll
Strigi and Deskbar
,----[ Quote ]
| I want to take a look at three other search engines as viable replacements
| for Beagle: Tracker, Recoll, Strigi, and Deskbar, an applet written in
| Python, which has some very handy scripts written for it and, which can
| extend its functionality well beyond the immediate desktop itself.
