A new player in Linux music production
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently discovered a fairly new project that has an interesting take on
| Linux music production: the Open Octave Project. The goal of Open Octave is
| to provide an environment for audio and MIDI production specifically for
| orchestral music and film scoring. What is different about this project -
| compared to other Linux audio / MIDI solutions - is that the developers don't
| build a new application from scratch. Instead, the team chose to combine and
| adapt existing projects into an unified framework. This actually works two
| ways: in using existing applications, the team doesn't have to reinvent the
| wheel and can use existing quality tools, and by contributing their efforts
| back to the original projects, these benefit as well. So what's in store with
| the Open Octave Project? Let's delve a little deeper...

3 Dockbar like applications for Linux / Mac OS X / Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, the dock bar has been just an appearance enhancer in operating
| systems. People have been led to believe that the dock is for those who are
| more conscious about appearance rather than performance and because of this,
| they quickly lost interest in it once they got used to it.

If You Pay for a Linux Word Processor, Is It Really Worth the Price?
,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, industry heavy-hitters Sun Microsystems, Novell, and IBM Lotus
| keep building on their Linux heritages with new releases of distinctive
| commercial word processors. So, too, does, ThinkFree, an innovative
| California-based start-up that's just added ThinkFree Mobile Netbook to its
| growing line-up of crossplatform suites. Haansoft, a South Korean distributor
| of Linux OS and word processing software, just so happens to hold a majority
| interest in ThinkFree.

The Best Docks on the Linux Coast
,----[ Quote ]
| AWN (Avant-Window-Navigator). This is the first dock I tried a couple years
| back. It looks good, is easily configurable, and has a lot of great plugins
| (stacks, menuâs, weather etcâ). It can pretty much replace the entire
| gnome-panel in features. However, I only ended up sticking with AWN for a
| couple months because the auto-hide feature was (and still is) buggy and
| would crash the dock during normal operation. This should be fixed for the
| upcoming 0.4 release; so, I might have to give it another try at that time.
| The original developer works with Canonical on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix
| (which I love) and is definitely capable of great things.
