[H] On Ubuntu

I don't have any actual content for you right now, but I just saw this article, 30 Days With Linux that I thought I'd share. This is a very even handed review of my favorite linux distribution, Ubuntu.

The article is geared towards people who like to tinker with their machines but who aren't necessarily programmers or even script kiddies. (This group is also sometimes referred to as "power users" but that just sounds so lame... I shudder every time I hear it.) If you've been wondering if the time is right for a move toward linux, or if you're (rightly) upset about the price range or hardware requirements, or embedded DRM of Windows Vista, I'd highly recommend reading this article. The article is a bit long, so if you're short on time, you might just read the first and last pages. If you do have time, the article is well worth the read, even if you're already using linux.

Enjoy.

Borked my partition

Hey everyone. I thought I'd be cute and use a rearrange my partitions to give me more space for my linux partition, and I managed to completely kill my system. So, I'm spending the day recovering my files, reinstalling my OS and all my applications. Once I've got everything in place, I'll finish up the next tutorial and post it, but that might not be until tomorrow or the next day depending on how much free time I get.

I'll also probably be changing the layout here to try to pretend that I'm an actual website instead of a blog. My plan is to just make some backdated posts and then put links to them in the sidebar. Who knows, maybe one of these days Gimparoo will move to a commercial host. Maybe.

Anyway, just wanted to give you all a heads-up. If you're looking for some Gimp related fun, you might check out the Gimp User Group (GUG). I've known about it for a long time, but just signed up as a member.

Inkscape .deb Package

For those of you using some flavor of Debian linux (Ubuntu) and do not favor building your own packages, ubuntuforums.org user gummybearchen
has conveniently packaged Inkscape for us. Check it out here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org....

That is all.
