TuxMobil Celebrates 10th Anniversary

This month TuxMobil celebrates its 10th anniversary. TuxMobil is the number one online resource providing information about Linux for laptops, PDAs, cellular phones and portable media players. In short, TuxMobil is all about Linux and portable devices. The name TuxMobil is an abridgement of the words Tux and "mobil." Tux is the well known name of the Linux mascot and "mobil" is a shortcut for mobile.
Starting with an installation report about Linux on his first laptop, published at the university account of its founder, Werner Heuser, the predecessor of TuxMobil was launched in March, 1997. Over the years, more and more Linux laptop installation guides were listed at TuxMobil. Now, to date, TuxMobil has become the biggest online resource on this topic. Today there are more than 6,000 links to Linux laptop installation guides available.
"It's easy to find the laptop model you are looking for," says Werner Heuser. "All the guides are ordered by manufacturer and model. Almost every laptop manufacturer is covered. That's currently over 220 manufacturers."

| Red Hat Hires a Blind Software Engineer to Improve Accessibility on Linux Desktop
Accessibility on a Linux desktop is not one of the strongest points to highlight. However, GNOME, one of the best desktop environments, has managed to do better comparatively (I think).
In a blog post by Christian Fredrik Schaller (Director for Desktop/Graphics, Red Hat), he mentions that they are making serious efforts to improve accessibility.
Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
