LINUX PICKS AND PANS

Cleverly Reimagined Slax Distro Pushes Portable Linux’s Limits

 November 22, 2019

Slax Linux is a handy portable operating system that can be a useful alternative to bulky, more complicated Linux options that install to a hard drive. However, it is far from a complete out-of-the-box solution. That is not a bad thing, though. Slax works. Copying just one folder from the downloaded ISO directly to a USB drive gives you a fully functional Linux OS. Without any tinkering, you can add applications and change configurations with all changes permanently stored on the USB drive...

Austrumi Linux Has Great Potential if You Speak Its Language

October 10, 2019

Neptune 5: A Practically Perfect Plasma-Based Distro

March 23, 2018

ZevenOS' Neptune 5.0, released earlier this month, offers a refreshing take on a classic KDE-based Linux distro.

Facebook’s Latest Moon Shot: I Think, Therefore I Type

April 21, 2017

Steamed Over Steam

February 24, 2017

Where would the PC gaming market be without Steam, the digital distribution platform that was developed by Valve Corporation more than a decade ago? It likely would be in worse shape than it is now, but that's not to say it would be bad. First, despite the repeated cries that "PC gaming is dead," th...

Video Game Preservation: An Impossible Dream?

February 20, 2015

Fuel Industries last year sought to find the long-rumored cache of buried E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial video games, made for the Atari 2600 in the early 1980s. Surplus copies of E.T. -- a notoriously bad gaming experience -- were dumped in a landfill after failing to sell. By burying its shame, Atari ...

Kano: The Can-Do Coding Kit for Kids of All Ages

November 5, 2014

"So simple a child could do it" -- I have heard that expression abused often in advertising. Yet it aptly applies to the Kano computer kit. Kano is a computer and coding kit that is suitable for all ages. Well, to be truthful, Kano's step-by-step instructions in the included booklets and its simplif...

Kano’s Alejandro Simon: If This, Then Do That

August 27, 2014

February 21, 2014

A French teen faces charges of "endangering the lives of others" over his use of a drone, which he sent skyward to capture impressive -- and seemingly harmless -- footage of the city Nancy. Eighteen-year-old Nans Thomas affixed an Internet-bought drone with a GoPro camera and then sent the contrapti...

Terminator Ends the Terminal Window Blahs

December 5, 2013

Terminator is not for casual Linux users who rarely stray from the menu-driven applications. If you ever venture into what some regard as the dark side of the Linux OS, however, Terminator can end your discomfort by using a single-session terminal window. Terminator is a powerful and useful terminal...

Aussie Police Investigate Facebook Pot Peddler

November 21, 2013

August 29, 2012

Hitting the Linux Gaming Jackpot

December 22, 2011

If you had the option to pick your own price for a computer game that only runs on your Linux rig, would you pay to play? Not if you are a typical Linux gamer. At least, that's the popular perception of fans of free and open source software. Linux is available freely. So why pay for a game -- or any...
