Alla gör vi vår första kartong någon gång i livet. Det är för många en stor händelse som aldrig glöms bort. Själv gjorde jag min debut hösten 2006, strax innan jag fyllde 27. Det som kanske skiljer mig från många andra kartongpionjärer är att min kartong till stor del genererades automatiskt med datorhjälp, den nya [...]

Interesting week this was.

Firefox 2.0 was released.
Ubuntu 6.10 was released (with Firefox 2.0 as the web browser).
Fedora Core 6 was released (with Firefox 1.5.0.7 as the web browser).

To me, the choice of Linux distribution was easier than ever this time.

Enough bug reporting for today. I’ll be sure to report more of the issues I’ve found with Mozilla Calendar/Sunbird/Lightning in the future.

Ubuntu ships with Mozilla Firefox as their web browser, and Evolution as their mail client. However, this poll in the Ubuntu forums clearly shows that a majority of Ubuntu’s user base forum regulars prefer Thunderbird:

I think Ubuntu should change the default mail client to Thunderbird, especially now when the Thunderbird developers team up with Eudora [...]

If you’re like me — a fanatic Linux tester using Windows part time — you’ve probably experienced a few installation failures. When that happens, sometimes the Linux installation breaks the grub boot loader, leaving you with a computer that won’t do anything besides displaying a discouraging black grub console. Well, here’s how to actually boot [...]

Remember the old style of Christmas lights where you had a big long string and if one bulb burned out the whole thing burned out and you had to go through each one and find out which single bulb failed? That’s Microsoft.

I’ve been using Fedora Core 6 pre-release for a couple of days now, and I’m ready to write about my experience so far. Overall, there are both good and bad things about Fedora. Here are some things that I like about it:

The default desktop background is stunning. I like the DNA inspired theme and the [...]

(Headline intentionally spiced up slightly…) After reading the release notes from the Fedora Core 6 Pre-Release, I just had to download and install it:
The Compiz window manager provides better visual feedback and a variety of desktop effects by using the AIGLX framework. More information is available from the Fedora Rendering Project.
Unlike OpenSuSE 10.2 Alpha [...]
