It is time to kill Microsoft. Kill them dead.
While the United States is busy wasting our tax dollars trying to impose “freedom” on the rest of the world, everyone is looking the other way while a major transgression against our rights is taking place right here at home: Microsoft is trying to claim that the world is violating it, and Microsoft wants to go to war with the world; namely, with ( Read more... ) -
Today is not a happy day…

It seems that Dell will be making these systems available with support directly from Canonical for those who need it, but is not going to be compelling its customers ( Read more... ) -
KVM on Linux
Well, I managed to get KVM working on my Ubuntu Feisty box, and it wasn't that hard.
