| Desktop Linuxes are improving so quickly that it's hard even for someone like 
| me, who tracks operating systems the way some people track their favorite NFL 
| team's game match-ups, to keep tabs on what's what with the latest 
| distributions. That's even true for the major community Linux distributions: 
| Fedora 8, OpenSUSE 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.10.

| How was the name Source Mage decided upon?
| I'll leave out the why as that's another rant. ;) For the name, Ryan asked 
| for a list of names the users and developers liked and once we had a nice 
| long list, we voted on which one we liked the most and Source Mage GNU/Linux 
| (we purposefully kept the GNU/Linux part) was "born".

software

,----[ Quote ]
| The BadVista campaign is an advocate for the freedom of computer users, 
| opposing adoption of Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free (as in 
| freedom) software alternatives.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| With your help, we will:
| 
|     * Organize supporters into effective actions protesting Microsoft's 
|       daylight theft of our freedoms 
|     * Aggregate news stories cutting through MS Windows Vista marketing 
|       propaganda 
|     * Provide a user-friendly gateway to free software adoption
