An introduction to symbolic linking

Hot on the heels of Marcel Gagne's article about jPodder, I wrote an article about how to link to applications so they appear on the KDE desktop. The article is based on SuSE 9.3, but would likely apply to most users using KDE.

The file is a 107k pdf: symboliclinking.pdf

Linux at it's best

I have been using Ubuntu for the past 2 months or so. It has been a very educational experience so far and for the most part ease of use has been optimal. Tomorrow I will start having fun remoting to my desktop computer from where I volunteer, lets just see how my Linux knowledge has grown! Well I am truely impressed. I have gotten to where I am able to do most things as instructed when asked with little effort other than maybe a booboo or 2 so I am going to keep plugging away at it and see where this new knowledge will take me.

New screen shot


Since moving to Ubuntu I decided to throw up a screen shot of the theme I'm using, one more thing that makes Linux pretty cool. I know, themes are not productive, but I enjoy looking at a cool desktop.

I also noticed that Ubuntu has the package for Bnetd, the Battlenet server. This means it'll be easy to set up a Linux Diablo II server...which leads me to mention a new blog I started, Diablo Adventures.
