Problems with Your Intel Wireless Drivers? Try Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| With no real requirement for Windows other than my fianceeâs convenience
| and familiarity, then, I decided to give Ubuntu a shot at the job and
| see if it was the hardware that was the problem. Having come off some
| separate Intel driver issues with Jaunty, I skipped the current
| production release and went to Karmic. The verdict? Works flawlessly.
| Iâll be damned if I know what the problem was with the Windows drivers,
| but with a working alternative I doubt Iâll ever try and find out. Iâll
| wait to see if Windows 7 drivers are released, and if they are, Iâll see
| how they fare.
|
| Until then, how is the fiancÃe adjusting to Linux? âI kind of like it,â
| she says.

Ubuntu: One Year Later
,----[ Quote ]
| Hard to believe, but itâs been almost a year since my first Ubuntu-
| themed article appeared on this site. Last October I made the decision
| to try Ubuntu 8.04. This was the end result of a number of factors,
| including months of trying to squeeze every drop of life out of XP.
| Eventually the futility of salvaging a 7-year-old (at the time) OS hit
| me, and I realized that 2008 was as good a time as any to try something
| new.
|
| A year later, Ubuntu is still my primary operating system. Iâve also
| converted my wifeâs PC to Ubuntu (at her request) and we use Ubuntu on
| our laptop for everything besides Netflix. Iâve had 4 friends and most
| of my immediate family try Ubuntu, and more than half continue to use it
| as a primary OS.

Wi-Fi Tracing With Ubuntu and an Acer Aspire
,----[ Quote ]
| If you are running Linux on a PC, notebook or netbook with a Wi-Fi card
| it's "relatively" easy to use the system together with Wireshark for
| WLAN tracing. Since Wireshark version 0.99.5, even WPA decryption is
| supported so Wireshark also decodes the packets from other devices in
| your network.

pen source: What you should learn from the French
,----[ Quote ]
| A decade ago, European countries leapt out of the gate to take the lead in
| the radical open source movement -- none more so than France -- and left U.S.
| developers in the proverbial dust. Through policies and high-profile
| projects, the French Republic for years has been advocating for all open
| source all the time, in government and education.
