I got the following hyperlink off of the Phoenix Linux Users Group
(PLUG) discussion mailing-list. [Yes, I still find email a useful
tool.]

I don't know much about Linux distributions so I can't
make too many comments about Linux.com's rankings.
With respect to Linux Desktop, Linux.com rated Canonical's Ubuntu the best and that is what I use at home. They list Fedora and openSUSE as "closest contenders." I use openSUSE in the office at school. With respect to LiveCD, then rate Knoppix number one and that was my choice a few years ago when I was doing Unix classes at SCC. It is how I used a Windows PC as a Linux system. Linux.com::The Top 7 Best Linux Distributions for You [03 February 2010, top] |

Ubuntu 10.04 is named Lucid Lynx and it is planned for release on 29 April 2010.
Change #2 is changing the default search provider in Firefox to Yahoo! Note that this won't in any way effect the ability of a user to choose and use the search provider of their choice. It's literally 2 easily discoverable clicks to change this setting, a simple matter of switching to that search provider in the chrome by clicking on the icon and choosing the desired provider. Note also that Yahoo! does not share any personally identifiable or usage information. Why? I am pursuing this change because Canonical has negotiated a revenue sharing deal with Yahoo! and this revenue will help Canonical to provide developers and resources to continue the open development of Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Platform. This change will help provide these resources as well as continuing to respect our user's default search across Firefox.

Yesterday, on 2010.01.01 at 00:00:00 UTC, the Unix
time(2) system call turned 40
years of age. I learned about this computing moment
via Slashdot.org.
This posted was created on 2010.01.02 at approximately 8:05am MST, which was Unix time 1262444686 (i.e. seconds since the Unix epoch date of 1970.01.01 00:00:00 UTC). Recall, less than a year ago on 2009.02.13 at 23:31:30 UTC, the Unix time hit 1234567890. [02 January 2010, top] |
