[ad#posts]
Nearly every piece of software written that aids in search engine optimization is written for the Windows platform.  Perhaps this is because most of these types of software come with a price tag, and I would venture to say that most Linux users are resistant to paying for any type of software.  The Open Source [...]

There was a big brew-ha-ha over the past few days with NoScript and some unscrupulous bit of code installed in it.  In case you haven’t heard, NoScript recently released an updated version of the popular Firefox plugin that would disable the Adblock Plus plugin whenever the user visited the NoScript website or a few of [...]

May 1, 2009

[ad#posts]
I don’t do the most intense web design work, but I do kick out some decent blog themes and websites.  That being said, I’ve found that I can accomplish everything I need to do with just three programs: Xampp, Bluefish and GIMP.  These programs do for me what Wampserver, Dreamweaver and Photoshop do for me [...]

There has been an awful amount of hype surrounding the latest release of Ubuntu.  People have been upgrading their systems for weeks now and giving glowing reviews.  I see articles on sites like Digg or Reddit daily, and for reasons I’m still not sure of, I decided to ditch my beautiful Arch setup and install [...]

If Your Distro Died And Went To Linux Heaven

April 22, 2009

[ad#posts]
Let me pose a hypothetical sitution to you.  Suppose your distro of choice, whatever it may be, were to fold and no longer exist.  What would you do?  Would you switch to another distro, or would you jump to a different OS?
