I just came across a method to consolidate your three gnome menus (applications, places and system) into one. For those of you that have used SLED (SuSE Linux Enterprise Edition) or openSuse 10.2 you’ll recognize this layout. It turns out it is also an option for our Ubuntu machines.
To install the new [...]
I have never used Automatix and, honestly, I’ve never seen any reason to. I was recently at an install fest and some of the users were asking about it. I didn’t have anything to tell them so I’m putting it out to the rest of you. Is there really any valid [...]

Last Friday I made the plunge and switched to the [...]
A little more than a year ago I started the Ubuntu Utah LoCo Team and we were officially approved a few months later. This LoCo Team has been a great project–something I have loved working on since the beginning and I hope to be able to continue to build long into the future. It [...]
I’ve been hearing about the Irssi IRC client for some time and I finally took some time over the weekend to seriously look into it. After the initial learning curve that often comes with a new application (and a terminal based application at that!) I’m hooked on Irssi. I’m using it as my [...]
Ubuntu Tutorials Presents – Ubuntu Book of the Week
I’ve been tinkering more and more lately with irssi (tutorial coming up) as an IRC client and I recently also installed Bitlbee to allow gateway connections to outside IM protocols. Now, I can use my single IRC client to also connect to jabber, msn, etc and don’t need two clients.
