Pepper Pad offers Linux Web tablet for sofa surfing

12/20/2006  
Relevance: 5.17
It seems like a great idea: making a computer that's somewhere between the size of a cell phone and a laptop, for people to carry around and surf the Web. It's such a great idea that about a dozen companies have tried it, but most of these gadgets have met with such complete apathy among consumers you'd think they were made of ignoranium.

03/03/2008  
Relevance: 4.99
Moving to Linux used to be a big deal. Sure, it was cheaper, more reliable, and more flexible -- but who did you turn to when things went wrong? In an enterprise world that had grown up with the idea that Unix needed to be complex and expensive -- and that Windows was a quick-and-dirty Plan B -- the idea of getting a robust, scalable operating system for free just didn't click for many years.

GNU/Linux distro for women? Why not?

09/28/2007  
Relevance: 4.99
On various women's mailing lists, a subscriber has raised the idea of a distribution developed"for and by women." So far, the idea has met with a cool reception. It might even be a troll.

Coming to a watering hole near you: OLPC's mesh networking

03/04/2008  
Relevance: 4.91
Even in today's high-tech world of unified communications and wireless mobility, the idea of two kids with laptops sitting under a tree somewhere in Saharan Africa being able to exchange information without any kind of infrastructure or configuration, seems as wild an idea as the land they live in. But with the OLPC project, this scenario is rapidly becoming a widespread reality.

Synching the open source release schedule

04/27/2008  
Relevance: 4.83
Both Mark Shuttleworth and myself have discussed this idea before. Because Mark brought it up again in a recent interview, I feel compelled to developer this idea further. The main concept is that Linux distributions, and open source in general, have a lot to gain by synchronizing their release schedules.

Linux Media Center PCs Review Roundup

10/04/2007  
Relevance: 4.73
It seems like only a short time ago when the idea of running Microsoft's Media Center Edition of Windows (MCE) struck me as the best idea in the world. It gave the appearance like it did it all, but that changed as MythTV developers honed their own skills and really took the MCE platform to task. Today, MythTV remains ahead in features and even has a few small, non-US OEMs selling these boxes, ready to go.
