Hi everybody,

Long time! .... Hope you've all been good. :P

Just want to share a new Linux Bash commands wallpaper with all you Linux fans out there. It's a good way to keep your codes close without flipping through the books or searching the web or something.

The perfect FOSS kernel: Hybrid Linux and GNU Hurd

Posted 09-25-2010 at 05:34 PM by Kenny_Strawn (Kenny the one-teen comittee to stamp out Proprietary $uckware)

The Linux/HURD debate has been going on since the dawn of the GNU project and there are benefits and downsides to both projects.

Advantages to Linux:

Is very secure and has grown very much since it was first released
Is very popular and is free and open source software
Has grown (thanks in part to Ubuntu and Mint) extremely easy to use

So the answer I came across was pithos.

Converting to grub2

Posted 09-25-2010 at 12:11 PM by Larry Webb

This morning I converted booting 7 distros to grub2 after updating ubuntu to 10.4.1 ext 4 file system. I still have some fine tuning to do but was surprised at the ease and simplicity. You have to abandon most of the old grub legacy way of thinking. I have a large data partition to convert from ntfs to ext4. I will then be totally linux flavored.
