The deadline is rapidly approaching — the Ohio LinuxFest folks are looking for speakers for this year’s OLF.
I went last year and had a blast, and I fully expect this year’s to be even better. If you know a lot about Linux and open source, I would encourage you to submit a presentation. Deadline [...]
Since Dapper is no doubt attracting a whole bunch of new Ubuntu users, I thought it’d be a good idea to write up a piece addressing some common new user questions. It’s up on Linux.com now, if you have any questions about Ubuntu, have a look and see if it helps out any.

For me, it was mostly just fun to figure out how to do it, and I [...]
