Outfit Your Netbook With Open Source: 21 Tools
,----[ Quote ]
| 2) Operating System: Ubuntu
|
| Unless you're buying your laptop second-hand, it's going to come with the OS
| pre-installed. If you haven't yet made your purchase, you may want to
| consider one of the many models that uses Ubuntu Linux. It uses dramatically
| fewer resources than Windows (the other most common operating system option
| on low-cost laptops) and it's generally considered more secure. In addition,
| Ubuntu includes many of the most popular open-source applications, such as
| OpenOffice.org, Firefox, and others.
|
| 2) Browser: Firefox
|
| Even if you purchase a Windows-based laptop with Internet Explorer
| pre-installed, you should consider switching to Firefox. It's more secure
| (which helps if you're using a laptop that lacks security features), and it's
| fast and easy to use.

Etymology of an Open Source App/Project
,----[ Quote ]
| Last year, I blogged about 35 Distros and how they got their names. Some of
| the distros out there have fascinating stories, while others are just too
| mundane. However make sure you read that blog, its a very interesting one
| (trust me).
|
| The natural extension of the “Etymology of a Distro” blog would be delving
| deeper into Open Source project’s etymologies. Indeed many readers already
| suggested that. Sadly I got sidetracked and put the whole idea on the back
| burner.

5 Best Free and Open-source Real-time Strategy Games for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Spring (formerly known as TA Spring or Total Annihilation: Spring), is a full
| 3D free/open source RTS game engine originally created by the Swedish
| Yankspankers, intended to bring the gameplay experience of Total Annihilation
| (TA) into three dimensions. Games are played using one of a number of mods.
| The standard installation comes with a range of prepackaged mods, some which
| requires that one own a copy of TA to legally play them, and other Free
| Content mods which may be used free of charge without owning a copy of TA.
| Spring’s core game engine is licensed under the GNU GPL.
