Ubuntu Blog Update

  • Roberto Lupi finds a cool new feature in Hoary Hedgehog’s very fresh GIMP 2.2: The Toilet Paper image template. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
  • Fernando Duran writes about Ubuntu on his Dell Inspiron 8200. Meanwhile, there’s a whole blog dedicated to Ubuntu on this laptop model!
  • Edward Lang discovers just how easy it is to burn data CDs with the GNOME file manager on Ubuntu.
  • Tom Geiger gives a name to a feeling so many of us have had - before Ubuntu arrived, he was just running a painstakingly configured ‘personal Ubuntu Simulation’.
  • Luis Villa links to Ubuntu’s Live CD Customisation Howto and says, “[it] made it pretty stupidly easy to grab an iso, hack at it, and turn it into something Real. […] The reason I’m going with Ubuntu […] is that they appear to be going out of their way to make customizing a liveCD easy - I’ve never seen instructions like that for [other distributions].”
  • Distrowatch reports that Ubuntu is #1 on the monthly hit ranking, and appears to be everywhere all at once. After that article was published, even more Ubuntu stories came to light: The new Agnula/DeMuDi beta is based on the Ubuntu LiveCD, and there’s another Ubuntu classroom at Tranby Aboriginal College.
