Google Chrome vs Chromium
Jan 2nd
The other day I had a problem with the Chromium repo a fellow Fedora user maintains. I couldn’t get Flash to work after his latest update. Someone on the forum told me that Google has a beta release of Chrome. So; I removed the “chromium” repo I had previously installed and after installing the new one, I got confused. I thought to myself, “What is the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium?” I thought Chromium would be exclusive to Linux.
Well; I Googl’d it and found this wiki. I thought I’d attempt to give it some traction since others must have the same question.

Hulu Desktop on My Fedora 11
Oct 30th
I’ve been using the Hulu.com services from time to time to catch up on shows I’ve missed. I don’t have cable so this is a great alternative for me. I remember hearing about Hulu Desktop on a podcast a while back, but I totally forgot about it. Well, earlier this week a friend on Twitter mentioned it and that sparked the tech-geek in me to try and install it. Lucky for me, they have an RPM and a DEB installer. For you hardcore-Linux enthusiasts or masochists, I’m not sure if they have source files available.

Hero Factory: The Fedora!
Apr 3rd
I followed Mathias Teugels around a bit (on Identica) and some how found myself at a Flash hero generator site; so I took some time out to create the official/unofficial Fedora Project super hero — The Fedora! I was limited in some of the tech accessories I could give him, but maybe someone from the art team will run with it.
Make your own Hero at www.cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory. Be aware that you can’t choose the hero’s name during the generation process. 
Create your hero and post a link here. I’d love to see what you come up with.

So; with every hero creation, you must have some specs or a history for your character. I will not satisfy that requirement today. Just know that he’s a heavy Linux user and his distribution of choice is… *drum roll please*… Fedora.
Install Flash Player (64-bit) on your Linux System
Dec 24th
I am really surprised at the amount of postings that show you where to get the new Flash Player 10 (x86_64), but not really how to install it if all goes wrong. Yah, they’ll always have, “simply click double click on the RPM file and all will be well in the world.” kind of talk, but what happens if all is NOT well in the world!? Luckily for me (and you), it always goes wrong – so I end up having to do a manual install every time. Hopefully this post will help you figure all that out.
Whatcha’ Say!?
