7 of the best Linux firewalls
,----[ Quote ]
| You're walking down a dark alley, late at
| night, when suddenly someone jumps out at
| you and forces you to hand over your
| passport, your credit cards, and the keys
| to your car. This is a good analogy of
| what using the internet is like.
|
| Around every corner lurks danger, and with
| today's always-on connections, you may
| have the internet equivalent of burglars
| without realising. For ultimate computer
| security, a firewall is similar to having
| a big, burly bodyguard walking down the
| street with you, keeping you safe. Whether
| it be your home or office network, a
| firewall distribution should be able to
| help you.

8 of the Best Online Backup Services for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| A remote or online backup service has
| become quite an important tool for those
| of us who travel a lot and require some of
| our files on the cloud for easy access
| anytime and any place with Internet
| connection. It can also be useful for
| users who need to sync some of their data
| across two or more computer machines most
| of the time.

Gnote: Fedora 13 note tool
,----[ Quote ]
| Gnote was cloned from Tomboy (to remove
| the Mono dependency), is used on the GNOME
| desktop, and uses a wiki-like interface.
| Gnote is simple to use and reliable. In
| this article I am going to introduce you
| to this tool so that all users of Fedora
| do not miss out on itâs handiness.

Free software is good for me.

| There's been sort of a bump in interest in
| Marave, my distraction free editor and
| it's because it has been reviewed in Linux
| Journal!
|
| [...]
|
| On related news, marave was also reviewed
| in a german magazine a couple of months
| ago, and I have not been able to get a
| copy of the article. (BTW, isn't it
| reasonable to send a copy of these to the
| author of the program you are reviewing?
| Neither magazine even mentioned it to me!)

Editing PDFs On Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| In the end, I stuck with flpsed, which
| ended up working pretty well for my
| limited needs. The most promising
| application that I encountered, however,
| was OpenOffice, which seems very capable
| of a variety of PDF-editing tasks as long
| as itâs able to import the file cleanly.
|
| In the future, Iâd love to see edit
| functionality incorporated into Evince so
| that Ubuntu would be able to modify PDF
| files out-of-the-box. But Iâll be happy
| enough just to get the visa application
| that launched this blog post approved.

Zarafa: And how Linux can finally Conquer the world
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs time Linux stop trying to play well
| with Microsoft. Instead what the Linux
| community needs to do is focus on creating
| solid applications to replace every tool
| needed in the business and home PC realm.
| Donât worry about making these tools
| interact with Windows. Just focus on
| making them work well.
