Making the switch-02: Which Linux distro to choose?

dilbert.2007-01-25.gif
Part 2 brings me to which distribution, or distro, to choose, where you'll install it, and with which desktop environment (shell). Fortunately, there's lots of help here online, perhaps the two best places to start are:

(1) DistroWatch Top Ten
(2) PolishLinux.org
(3) LinuxQuestions.org Distro Reviews

First, consider for what and how you will use GNU/Linux, as a:
  • Primary system for all your major tasks, mainly productivity or programming;
  • Secondary system for background tasks, such DVD burning, Usenet, BitTorrent, running a server, domain, etc.;
  • Server, for your home network, a domain, or whatever;
  • Test system, e.g., to learn GNU/Linux.

How you will use GNU/Linux will affect which distro you select..

Do you know where your cat is going?

Unbenannt2.png
For all the cat lovers here:
          Mr. Lee CatCam

   I thought about our cat
      who is the whole day out,
returning sometimes hungry     sometimes not,
            sometimes with traces of fights,
  sometimes     he stay also the night out.

Stellarium

search.jpg
Quoted from Stellarium site:

"Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go."

This program is free. It is a work of art. It is truely beautiful and breathtaking.

If you have not tried this before, than please take an hour of your time and give it a try!



IDEA: predictive text for ms word

blog clipart
hi,

Feel free to ignore me if this is more than a coding snacks....

I find the auto-correct function in ms word not that useful, so i am thinking of a small program that just search within a dictionary and suggest closest word as you type. Sort of like T9 predictive text in mobile phone.

I have google this and found programs that does this but with alot more bloated features that i do not need....

Wish all programs (FARR, DialogMove, etc.)were as simple and easy to use found here.... :Thmbsup:

Skrommel's ScreamerMenu Util gets 5 stars on front of Freeware Genius

Screenshot - 6_6_2007 , 5_00_59 PM_thumb.png
Our own Skrommel gets another rave mention..

The verdict: all I can say is that as a long time user of Screamer Radio I am extremely excited about the functionality that ScreamerMenu adds to that program. If you use Screamer Radio download this immediately; if you don’t, download and start using both programs ASAP.
