Re: The REAL reason we use Linux

March 16th, 2008

Going through my Google Reader I came over a slashdot post, linking to a blog post, explaining why we use Linux for real. The claim is that the real reason we use Linux, is because it’s fun. That is to some extent true. For me, there were to initial reasons why I started to use […]

Gaming in Wine!

October 14th, 2007

Most people know what Wine is, so I won’t give it much introduction. It’s simply a compatibility layer written for Linux, to make Windows applications able to run on a platform without Windows.

Guide: Headless Bittorrent-client with RSS support and webinterface

Asus MyCinema P7131 in Linux

July 29th, 2007

There seems to lack good documentation on how to make this card work in Linux. For me - it worked almost out of the box. For one the driver was ready in the stock kernel I use. But it wasn’t loaded with the correct options, and the card didn’t work the way one would want […]
