Ubuntu Live 2007!

Call For Web Design

I have recently decided that it is time for a redesign on this site.  We’ve been using this theme for quite some time now–it’s time for a change.  The only problem is that I don’t want to try and take it on.  I’m no good with web design anymore.

Goodbye Mutt / The Importance Of Community

Many of you know I’ve been trying to learn the mutt mail client and I have really put some time into it.  For quite a long time I’ve subscribed to the ‘all mail clients suck’ school of thought and mutt brought me close to finding a way out… but during my transition has turned me… Read More »

We had some really great news this morning on the US Teams front.  Both a new approved member (well deserved!) and a newly approved US Team.  I want to welcome both to the club and hope to see everyone keep up the fantastic work. DC Team – Congratulations.  From the looks of things you’re doing… Read More »

Ubuntu Tutorials : App of the Week

I have decided that it would be beneficial for all of us to learn more about the applications that we have as part of our Ubuntu / Kubuntu systems. I have primarily focused on general tutorials, although primarily pointed at the Ubuntu gnome community (as that is the desktop I am using), but I would… Read More »
