Cedega vs Crossover Games A Hands on Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Most people who use Linux for desktop use 
| are well aware of the one of the largest 
| issues facing the platform: Lack of 
| commercial software. Now in most cases this 
| is not an issue, no MS Office - use 
| OpenOffice, no Internet Explorer - use 
| FireFox. However one thing which there is 
| currently no replacement for is gaming. Try 
| as they might there are just not enough 
| Open-Source game developers (or even 
| closed-sourced ones) that bring the level 
| of gaming quality, as of yet, to Linux that 
| Windows enjoys.

Best of Linux Docks

,----[ Quote ]
| Everybody loves docks!! Whether you're a 
| developer, an OS X person, a Windows person 
| or a Linuxer ;), you are just bound to fall 
| in love with them too. Not only do they 
| look great, but also provide a fancy medium 
| for quick and convenient access to 
| favorites. I've been a great fan of docks 
| and I've been following them for a long 
| time! The following is what I'd call the 
| Cream of the 'dock' crop! :)

Learning with Gcompris

,----[ Quote ]
| Gcompris's Reading section isn't nearly as 
| large as the mathematics section is. Here 
| we find a game where the computer says a 
| letter and the child has to click on the 
| spoken letter. We also find an activity 
| where the child has to fill in the missing 
| letter to spell a word that matches a 
| picture. Finally, we have an activity where 
| the child drags pictures onto the word that 
| describes them.

Cairo Dock 2.0.0 is Here (Linux Dock Menu)!

,----[ Quote ]
| Not so long ago I was telling you about the new version 2 of Cairo Dock which
| was at the time still in beta/rc and that it doesn't look at all like the old
| 1 branch - this new version is by far the best dock menu application I've
| seen for any operating system.
