Well, it’s late 2009. Only 12 days left to go ’till the next decade. And right before the holidays, the iPhone vs. Android war is at an all-time high, especially with the announce of the Nexus One.
Some background. I’m 14. I love Linux and have been using it for the past 10 years. I love [...]

Hmmmm, Mozilla. The fast lane? I don’t think so. If you’ve been keeping up with all the recent Firefox developments, you might have noticed that Mozilla has been boasting the dramatic speed increase of the newest version of Firefox (3.5, see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html). Firefox has always been my absolute favorite browser, but even with the newest [...]

Well, I’m back from my blogging break. I guess I just needed some time to get some new ideas. I expect to be blogging fairly often now.
I’ll start off this week with a podcast/vodcast called Diggnation. It’s created by Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose, 2 great guys that know how to keep people entertained. If [...]

If you don’t know about SLAX, read my few previous posts about it. It’s a great, fast, small operating system you can carry around with you.

SLAX — you”re my favorite.
I’ve tried out about 12 Linux distributions on my USB drive. Among them: NimbleX, Mandriva One, Fedora, Ubuntu, KNOPPIX, PCLinuxOS, Puppy Linux, Gentoo, openSUSE, and many more. I’ve even tried making my own, using Linux From Scratch (more about that later). Every time I installed a new distro, I still remembered [...]

Hey all,
I’ve had quite a few comments/e-mail saying that my Makes Me Wonder blog was great, and that I should have continued that. However, on my first post, I said that we would be pretty much doing the same stuff here, same type of posts and all, same author, just different home. I could not [...]

On Makes Me Wonder, I once blogged about putting Linux onto a USB drive. It worked great, but it started up very slowly. So I set out looking for a lighter-weight Live USB distribution, and stumbled upon SLAX, a small distribution based on Slackware. It starts up within 30 seconds (off my USB drive!) and [...]

Twenty years ago, finding a piece of information as simple as a biography on someone meant making a special trip to the library, finding a book, checking it out, and driving back. All this took about 30-45 minutes. Today, you can find a biography on someone in 10 seconds. That’s right: ten seconds.
Driven by the [...]
