Boycott Ubuntu
"Up
until Shuttleworth's comment I defended men's rights to freedom of
speech. Beyond that I was barely interested in feminists topics. I
worked in male dominated areas all my life and I guess I just accepted
that's the way men are. They tell their dirty jokes, they hang their
stupid posters, they flirt, and condescend a little."

GNOME 2.28 -
the dawn of a new era
"Version 2.28 sees
the team behind the GNOME desktop environment for Linux and Unix
warming up for version 3.0, scheduled for a March 2010 release. The
current release continues the tradition of dotting lots of i's and
crossing plenty of t's, but also brings a new broom to a few nooks and
crannies."

KDE4
Against Posixovl
The G:Standard
will be released without an importante feature, the possibility to run
inside FAT32 formatted pendrives because we found an issue running
KDE4. KDE4 does not start if we use Posixovl to save changes inside any
device. I have tried save changes inside a FAT32 and NTFS formatted
partition and usb devices without luck. It looks like a problem we will
only solve when a new Posixovl is released. The best way to use
G:Standard is formatted the pendrive using ext3 or reiserfs. There is
also the possibility to create a second partition inside the pendrive
to be used to save/restore changes and the rest the pendrive formatted
as FAT32 which will allow access to files on Windows machines.

Linuxish
Will Be Replaced
GoblinX
users, I have just received the above information from Akuna:
Akuna said:
“Just to let you know that I made a new mirror for Goblinx which you
will find here: http://goblinx.simplynux.fr/. I will close the
old
linuxish.net server sometimes soon, so you may want to migrate all your
reference from the older mirror to the above link whenever possible.”
Remove all
references to Linuxish by replacing the repository for the new
Simplynux.
For Slapt-get you need to edit the
/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc file and remove the following line:
SOURCE=http://goblinx.linuxish.net/goblinx-current/.
You can also add
the new repository line:
SOURCE=http://goblinx.simplynux.fr/goblinx-current/.
The Simplynux is
already working.
