By PETER SVENSSON – 1 day ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Linux, the free operating system that's a perpetual underdog in the desktop market, will get another chance this holiday season at Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
The chain was taking orders online Wednesday for a computer called the "Green gPC" that is made by Everex of Taiwan, costs $199 and runs Linux. It will be available in about 600 stores, as well as online, Wal-Mart said.

"It's like starting another operating system," a colleague complained recently when he switched from the GNOME to the KDE desktop. He was exaggerating, but the impression is accurate. Unlike Windows or OS X, where the desktop and the window manager -- the program that controls how programs open -- are fixed, in GNU/Linux, you have dozens of choices for a graphical interface, each one with its own look, tradition, and utilities.

And both initiatives have officially confirmed deals this week that will see a quarter of a million low-cost laptops going to children in Uruguay and Libya and another 17,000 Linux-running Classmate PCs to Nigeria.

Ubuntu 7.10: Linux Flirts With Mainstream |
|

|
Posted Tuesday, October 30 @ 15:17:10 MDT
The operating system is called Linux, and you probably use it every day without even knowing it. It powers ATMs, cell phones, video game consoles and TiVos, and it also powers a huge number of Web sites and Internet servers. One of the key reasons it's so widespread is that it's free -- not just in the sense that it doesn't cost any money, but also freely available for anyone to use, change or rewrite in any way.

New Desktop Face-Off: Gnome 2.20 vs KDE 3.5 |
|

Introduction
With the new features that Gnome and KDE (K Desktop Environment) are adding, each desktop environment is challenging the other for a larger share of the market. If Linux-like operating systems come with one desktop environment, the user has the option to add to the other. Because of the ever-increasing sophistication of the new features, some latest versions of the operating system are including packages for both desktop environments, allowing users to have the option of switching from one desktop environment to another. In this article I will briefly talk about the new features of both Gnome and KDE, and then look at some similarities and important differences between the two desktop environments.

Crossover Linux 6 on PCLinuxOS 2007 |

Posted Thursday, October 11 @ 14:12:23 MDT
People have been using Microsoft Office as an office productivity suite ever since the home desktop revolution started. Likewise they are using Adobe Photoshop, Winamp, some old Nintendo games etc. Most of them who have started computing in PCLinuxOS or other desktop linux such as Ubuntu, Mepis, Suse or Zenwalk, still can’t find the productivity from Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop from their Linux counterparts such as OpenOffice.org Writer and GIMP. Besides gaming in Linux World is not much of a phenomenon in comparison to gaming in Windows World.

Is Linux right for your mother? |
|
|
|
|
Posted Thursday, October 11 @ 14:01:04 MDT
One of the advantages of Apple Macintosh computers is that simply by not being Windows, they are immune to the plague of malware (malicious software) that constantly strikes at Windows based machines. Linux has this advantage too, plus it's cheaper. A computer running Linux can cost around a fifth as much as a Mac (more on this later).
The classic knock on Linux, when compared to Windows and Macs, has always been that it was harder to use, and indeed it was. But release after release it kept getting easier. How easy is it, now, for a Windows user to move to Linux? According to one blogger, it's easy enough for his mother. See Why My Mom Can Use Ubuntu.
