Hi All, Come to think of it 2008 could be the year of "Everything Linux", not just the Desktop. Linux as the Desktop replacement has been talked about forever, but this time around you could come true. Let's look @ the fact that Vi$ta is going nowhere fast, and is a resource hog. Then comes the MAC flap over too many up-dates. Well, harden my arteries with some AppArmour, and give me my Linux. There are too many companies now shipping Linux Boxes, even Wal-Mart has an offering. Then comes all those server offerings with certified Linux systems. I'm glad that I was an early adopter Happy New Year - Linux. JJMacey www.jjmacey.net »

Hi All, Truly brilliant article! I do know what you mean here about adding "Gutsy" for Grandpa to the title. But, "Gutsy, is unique to Ubuntu. Perhaps "Linux Ubuntu Gutsy" might get you more hits? IMHO. Anyway, I live in Tempe, Arizona, and unless I run IE Explorer, I can not log-in to the various WiFi systems here. I'm a devoted Linux / open source user, and find this an irritant from time to time, when my home systems crashes. I've often thought to bring a "bias" case against the local towns that offer broadcast service, but not IE users. Think that might shack things up a bit? Again - great article.

Hi All, I've successfully decided not go the PDA, "newest" cell / phone route. That is, my mobile / cell has the basics - like get calls / get messages. No, SDS for me thank you very much. Sure, I've friends with the iPhone, amongst others. I've lived in Europe for 10 years, then spend another 10 years living in Asia. I have at one time or another seen a bunch of mobile devices. LOL! Basically, the carriers have to get on-board. Every tried changing a carrier plan, or arguing about a bill? Cool new tools never the less, Google is my friend. Keeping repeating Google is my friend. I have for years now. Now, let's see them make the leap to something truly exciting that we can all use. JJMacey www.jjmacey.net »
