Linux Tavern

Here’s a well done spoof video on the Apple Mac vs. PC Commercials:

It’s produced almost as well as the original commercials — and I like the fact that Linux is a women — but I think they might be taking a bit of poetic license when they say there are 30 million Linux users. While […]

And the battle continues. On Friday, August 10th a federal district court judge in Utah ruled that Novell owns the rights to the Unix operating system and not SCO. Finally, we may see an end to this ridiculous rampage that SCO tried to go on suing (or threatening to sue) anyone who has an operating […]

As indicated in the name (Edgy) and the fact that this is a beta release, there are many beta and release candidate apps included in this release, such as Firefox 2.0 beta 2. Some of the other changes and additions include:

DesktopLinux has announced the results of their 2006 Desktop Linux Survey and to the surprise of nobody, Ubuntu was voted the most popular Desktop Linux Distribution. Debian was a distant second, with openSUSE, Gentoo, and Fedora completing the top five.
