Will it be the year of the Linux desktop? Will Gnome Shell be awesome? Will KDE 3 users finally adopt KDE 4? What will happen in the world of software patents? How Gnome Zeitgeist will change people's workflows? What's your new years prediction for 2010?

Two free computers
by Greg Brooks 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

I've got a couple of old desktop computers I want to clear out -- free to whoever wants to drive up to Plattsburg and get 'em. * Dell Optiplex GX1 (I think) desktop. 512 mb RAM / PII or PIII (can't recall). CD (no write capability) /floppy, built-in video. Capacity for two drives, but the drives will be pulled before it's given away. Built like a tank (like most of the older Optiplex line) and was in service for several years as a mailserver/fileserver. * HP, tower form factor. PIII processor (speed unknown -- too lazy to boot it up and find out). CD (no write capability), floppy and DAT 24 tape drives. Hard drive will be pulled before it's given away. Most recently served as a Windows server and domain controller for a 12-employee business. Contact me offlist if interested in one or both. Thanks! Greg

Sugar in a VM
by Jack 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Has anyone run Sugar in a VM? I'm thinking about giving my daughter a VM session, and having it run Sugar? I understand it's very kid friendly. On that subject, has anyone ever launched a VM directly from X? Or do I need to plan on making it something that runs after she logs into her KDE/Gnome session? So far I've only run VMs from inside of KDE. Although I don't see why I couldn't do it from a VT shell. Jack
