Blogging from Linux

Sunday, July 31st, 2005

Mandriva Update

Saturday, July 30th, 2005

I had an accident with the machine which required me to reinstall my Linux Distro on the space computer we have in the office.

Apple Mac Mini as a Laptop Replacement
A friend and I were considering pooling for a laptop, which we can use when we go to our homes. However, this idea struck me while researching on the net. Why spend 30,000 bucks on a cheap Celeron powered laptop when you can get a Mac Mini for 35,000! [...]

A Linux that you can use: Mandriva

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Finally, a Linux that actually works! After trying out Fedora, Redhat, Suse and Ubuntu… Mandriva finally worked for me. The installer is uber cool and it asks for everything possible. Even gave an option of ignoring a particular installer CD if it was missing from my collection very unlike Fedora Core 4. It plays videos [...]
