The Advantages/Disadvantages of Leaving the Mainstream
,----[ Quote ]
| A recent Free Software Magazine article points out that using Linux protects
| you from potential governmental spying or hacking in two ways. First, Linux
| is open-source, so it would be extremely hard to inject a backdoor into its
| code. Second, since Linux is far less commonly used than, say, Windows, a
| governmental organization is far less likely to target it. All of this logic
| basically also applies to ordinary hackers, too. (And if you don’t think that
| governmental hacking will be an issue, it will almost undoubtably be an issue
| in some major country in the next few years.)

Pagico v3.2 is coming to Ubuntu on January 19th, 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| The last version of Pagico on Ubuntu was v2.3, released a long while ago. As
| Ubuntu was not our priority platform, we didn’t put too much energy on it.
| However, things have changed. Now we’re more interested in supporting this
| fantastic desktop platform than ever, and this time we’re not going to let it
| fall behind. Together with the v3.2.2 software, the Pagico on Ubuntu brings
| you the best user experience and unique feature set as an organizer software.

The Rise of Linux and the Death of Microsoft

| All in all, 2008 was a pretty good year for Linux, and I'm hopeful 2009 will
| be even better. Some of the notable changes that come to mind:
|
| The arrival of KDE 4, a new Linux desktop, which, while it was initially
| received with some criticism, has improved, and is continuing to improve
| greatly. Linux is becoming a serious threat on the desktop, and I'm hopeful
| the fabled "Year of the Linux Desktop" may be imminent. The KDE 4.2 beta I'm
| running at the moment looks very slick and feels very functional.
