Another push for netbooks in Africa
,----[ Quote ]
| Usually when Iâm writing about netbooks in
| Africa, they are coming from OLPC or a
| local OEM selling Intel Classmates. Now,
| however, IBM and Canonical (the company
| that brings us Ubuntu) are bringing a
| different strategy to the emerging African
| market. By using cheap netbooks running
| Ubuntu, coupled with IBMâs cloud computing
| platforms, businesses that could not
| otherwise afford computers for each of
| their employees will have access to really
| inexpensive computing.

Ubuntu: the complete beginner's guide
,----[ Quote ]
| It looks and feels a lot like Windows (more
| or less), but, being very lightweight, it
| runs very quickly, and - especially if you
| mainly use the computer to browse the web -
| it's a really great way of giving an older
| machine a new lease of life.
|
| We thought we'd compile a beginner's guide
| to installing it. The main thing is: don't
| be afraid. It's much easier than you think.
| And the satisfaction once you've done it
| is...well, you be the judge. But we were
| punching the air for hours.

Customize Ubuntu 9.10's Grub Boot Screen
,----[ Quote ]
| Grub2, the new boot menu installed by
| default with Ubuntu 9.10, can still look
| pretty old-school ugly if your tastes don't
| run with white terminal text on black. You
| can, however, customize its resolution,
| images, colors, and other aspects.

| KDE 4.3 is Great but I would suggest all newbies to try the
| last, KDE 3.5.10 release of Mepis 8 (8.0.10) before it moves
| into KDE 4 world (cos i don't know what will happen then).

If there were not many distros, were would KDE3 lovers go?
Simply Mepis 8 is a nice little Debian-based Linux distro
,----[ Quote ]
| I am now running the latest version of Simply Mepis 8, one of many offshoots
| of Debian Linux and therefore a cousin of the venerable Ubuntu. I am taken
| back a couple of years to the simpler days of the KDE 3.5 interface. KDE 4,
| the current darling, is a work of art by the guys at TrollTech, borrowing
| elements from Apple's Aqua interface, but this old tech favors reliability
| over flash, and as a law student I have little time to expore the wonders of
| KDE 4. Simply Mepis with KDE 3.5 is, in a word, familiar.
