ASUS' Big Development
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 18:57.John C. Dvorak: The most interesting story the media is downplaying is the ASUS announcement that it will have a ROM boot chip on all its motherboards, which will boot Linux instantly on start-up. This development is important, since 90 percent of the time all a user wants to do is surf the Web.
Mint 5 Revision 1
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 16:24.bmc.com/blogs: I have made no secret here of my love for Mint. In the pantheon of Linux distros (and that is a huge pantheon full of worthies), it is the one that just works for me more than any other that I have tried. So I took the opportunity to install the new Mint 5 Revision 1 to the Dell laptop.

TechieMoe tries Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thu, 08/28/2008 - 13:55.techiemoe.com: Microsoft's heir apparent has had its fair share of negative publicity since launch. In fact, I dare say it's had two or three operating systems' worth of negative publicity. Since the last versions of Vista I played with were a beta and a release candidate, I didn't really have an up-to-date opinion on the whole matter.
