Updated the site to 2.3.2 due to a security issue in 2.3.1, I’ve also enabled svn updates so I don’t have to go through annoying file copies for future upgrades.

Well, another year has come and gone and it was a heck of a year, many advances in the Linux desktop world, we say Vista crash and burn. Google is still a tech giant and many other things. The only disappointing thing to me is it was another year that the military was not able to take the gloves off and get done and out of the middle east. It’s time to stop beating around the bush people, do what needs to be done and get out.

I’ve successfully gotten my new iPod classic and Amarok working together better than iTunes!
So many of you have probably alread heard about the walmart PC for $200 that has sold out online and is raising some serious competition in the low end PC market. This PC runs on a 1.5Ghz Via C7 processor which consumes only 20Watts of power. The board it comes with has SATA, DDR2, 8 USB ports, Onboard Video & LAN. It’s a very very nice piece of hardware that can be purchased at clubit.com for a measly $60 + shipping. We picked up one to give it a go. We’ve got it running Fedora 8 at 1280×1024 resolution at a acceptable amount of response time. The video looks crisp and clear and everything worked right out of the box and it’s pretty amazing considering it only cost us $60….
