Linspire Sale.

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Coincidentally, Try Out Linux has a coupon code to get a full version of Linspire for $20 (vice the $44.95 download price).
I seem to recall that they were giving out free versions a couple of months ago. You may want to wait for that to come again, if it ever does.

Free Linspire!

Linspire is giving away fully functional licenses! What the heck??
Go get it. Now!

Kanotix 2005-03 Reviewed

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

I’m really impressed with Kanotix. The live cd ran beautifully and once I figured out how to use ndiswrappers, my ago-old problem on not having my wlan card running on a Live CD went away. Part of the reason I’m impressed is that Kanotix is a Debian-based distro (actually, it’s based on Knoppix) and Debian […]

Kanotix Live CD

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

I’ve been playing around with the newest Kanotix Live CD (version 2005-03). Given the problems I have with my wlan card, I generally don’t get much use out of live cds because I can’t do kernel module inserts on a CD in order to get my card working.
Kanotix caught my eye because it professed to […]

Upgrade Schmozzle

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

Blog entries are a little sparse the last few days. I attempted to upgrade from Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4 and that just totally blew up in my face. The FC4 upgrade broke my desktop, my soundcard, and did something to make my laptop run like it’s wallowing in molasses.
I then decided that […]

Puppy Linux Re-Reviewed

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

Due to the comments left on my original Puppy Linux review, here, I have decided to re-review it using the…ahem…most current version.
This review is based my distro review framework which can be found here.
Puppy Linux version 1.0.3

Easy to find:

Website contains information on what versions are available: 2/2
Working links to download repository: 1/2. Not well organized, […]

Fedora Core 4 Out!

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

I’m working on a way to get the latest releases from Distrowatch on this blow, but until I do I’ll be posting them manually.
Yes…I only went there today to see if my Fedora Core 4 was out and it was! So, I’m starting the distro notification with Fedora.
