Some people seem to just love talking about history. I prefer making it! Here’s something a bit more light to distract you from all the history lessons currently on Planet Ubuntu… Current Edubuntu Wallpaper The current Edubuntu wallpaper has served...
Debian 6.0 is now released! Freshly baked iso images are on the Debian cdimage server and there are torrents available as well. The whole effort is super-impressive. 693 ISO images that span 11 architectures have been generated and tested. There...
I’ve been running Debian on my laptop for the last two months. Some people were quite surprised about that since I’m such an Ubuntu religious nut and all, but I’ve always liked Debian and running it again have made me...
