Linux

Here is a very nice article that review new features of KDE development version 4.1. There are so many news and so many enchantments over 4.0 version that that is simply astonishing. It seams that version 4.1 is already very stable. I sure hopes that when it arrive we can all say goodbye to god all KDE 3.5 :))

Well I know that SMB means Samba but I wonder how would some linux newbie would felt after reading this....

Well, 2007 is coming to end and lets see how OS-es will finish this year :) In January Windows took 93.33% of PC marked followed by Mac 6.22% and Linux with 0.35%.

Here is a nice article that shows how easy is to create custom Live CD/DVD Linux distribution. I always now that there are tools for creating custom Linux distribution but I never guess that this is so easy :). So this will work for Ubutnu and Linux Mint and you will need Remastersys tool. Here are steps:

Well there are more than one good news from yesterday and couple a days ago so I have decided to put them all in one post :)
