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.

Linux Milestone – My Intro to NetInstall

Fedora 10 - Splash Screen (top)
Wow, I have been totally blown away today with what i’ve learned from my good friend Mr. Linux, my nickname for him is Fedora. Basically; I was having a problem installing the latest release of Fedora 10 through the DVDs I burned (32 and 64 bit). I thought all was lost, I literally thought that I would miss out on Fedora 10 and catch up with it next time on Fedora 11. Thanks to the good folks in the #fedora IRC chatroom (shout out to elfstone) – he gave me the idea and provided the path to do my first internet install of an operating system. “Oh Fedora, how I love thee!”

Review: The Linux Link Action Show
Sep 17th
Hey folks, I’m writing these reviews just to help get more links out there for these podcasts. You’re probably aware of the popularity of podcasts and if you follow my blog you know I’m a linux guy. Quite the newb still, but a linux guy never-the-less.
Well this podcast, The Linux Action Show is one of the many shows produced by Jupiter Broadcasting, and by its title, you can tell it’s all about linux. The chemistry of the two hosts, Chris and Bryan, are insane. Two high-strung fellas ranting on and on about the wonders of linux and its community. They are very comical and almost witty at times too. They do a great job of bring you up to speed on some of the important linux topics. Bryan is a nostalgic dude and you can tell he likes radio shows from the 50′s and beyond. Chris is very knowledgeable about whatever he gets his hands on – both are full of opinions and great to listen to.
Along with The Linux Action Show, Jupiter Broadcasting produces other fine shows, such as: Beer is Tasty, Castablasta, Radio Revolver, and Mack Murphy, PI. The Linux Action Show and Beer is Tasty are video recorded and streamed on their site and uStream.tv.

Open Source + nVidia + WoW = No Playtime
Jul 15th
You like my mathematical equation for dead playtime with World of Warcraft on a linuxbox? When I first installed Fedora 8, I ran Wine 0.9[something] with nVidia’s proprietary drivers. I had no problem playing World of Warcraft. I did notice something though – that every time there was a kernel update – when I restarted my Xserver that things would be kind of haywire. I would normally have to reinstall the video driver and then I’ll be back to status quo. So; now I’m a bit more seasoned with linux and open source or non-proprietary software means a little more to me than before – and getting that to work with WoW has proved to be quite difficult.
Whatcha’ Say!?
