Ubuntu : I'm linux bound
,----[ Quote ]
| I did it! I did it! I got Ubuntu-ed on the fourth try! And one hour
| later. Linux--up up and AWAY! If I want more applications I can get
| them from the web --just like you can with the FireFox extensions-- a
| real emporium of program add ons. Ubuntu/Linux is serious about
| options and ones I don 't like are easily given the flick. Try that
| with Windows!. So I guess I gotta hook this here other computer up
| to the web and see what I can make of it all by relearning the
| digital galaxy by hitchhiking my way through it the Linux way.
| For free... Never pay good money to Bill Gates again!

Organic interface design for GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| With the growth in 3D technology, we have the opportunity to make all
| of this happen. This is just a collection of rough notes, but at GUADEC
| I hope to flesh some of these ideas out with other people. We need to
| break down the barriers to interaction, but also be brave enough to
| stand up and set a direction, which was the point of the segment.

Tweaking KDE 3.5.5
,----[ Quote ]
| I have probably done more things to personalise my KDE installation,
| but these are the major ones. Rests me to say two specific things about
| KDE and its applications; first, that Kopete truly is a fantastic
| instant messenger application, for the sole reason that its MSN
| support is much more up to date than many of its competitors,
| something of great value when 95% of your contact list uses MSN.
| Secondly, the process of creating mailing list rules in Kmail is
| very easy, something which cannot be said of many other email
| clients.

Sci-Fi: A New Kind of OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Consider the obvious advantages to an operating system that actually
| morphed and adapted to the needs of the users instead of the other way
| around. Not only is there no such OS like this, the very idea goes
| against much of what we are currently seeing in the current OS options in
| the market.
