I saw an old linux ad done by IBM and it got me searching for more linux ads.  Novell did a couple that are pretty cool.  The one above is my favorite.  It’s inevitable… Linux is ready for the marketplace!  Here are a couple others that help show the world how Linux rocks!

I am experiencing a deafening silience when it comes to the audio on my Fedora box.  As of this article being published I can not hear audio playing on my computer.  Such as:

• YouTube, Hulu, and Flash-based player

Ironically when I do a “Soundcard Detection” it does find it, I hear the test audio.  I can even hear my recording that I just created in Audacity.  I am at a lotal lost.

Hey gang,

I got the R40 keyboard I ordered on eBay. I was very excited about it and I’m writing this blog with the new French Canadian keyboard model. It’s a little tough to type because the left shift key is very small and some of the characters are not in the same place. I think that’s because the French have more characters to play with. Once I switch the language of the OS to French, maybe it’ll match up. But overall; not a bad deal. I’ve been ad-hocking stuff for a long time now – it kind of makes me feel like a futuristic pirate or something. So; having this keyboard for only $25 is no problems with me.
