Need a great way to search the official information sources for Ubuntu Linux?

One of the best resources for information on the Ubuntu flavor of Linux is their forums, but there are other great resources you may not know of. Now there’s a search engine specifically for getting information on using Ubuntu.

We have new Ubuntu Screencasts

Last week I told you about the Month of Ubuntu Screencasts, and that for some reason we hadn’t gotten a new screencast in several days. I’m happy to let you know that since I started writing my last post they have posted two new screencasts, one on installing applications and one on updating and upgrading your Ubuntu installation. Something tells me they have more screencasts to post before the day’s out, so go start enjoying the new screencasts. They’re even educational for someone who’s been using Ubuntu pretty much full time for the past ten months or so.

Starting the move to Ubuntu Gutsy while still running Feisty

(This post was actually written by my brother Peng, so I’ve changed the authorship to Peng. While I actually wrote it, the truth is that he pretty much dictated the post to me and deserves the credit for it. We apologize for any deception that you now feel. . -Nanci)

In my first post on this blog I mentioned that I was using the Feisty Fawn version of Ubuntu Linux (version 7.04) and I was looking forward to upgrading to the new Gutsy Gibbon version (7.10) when it hits beta tomorrow, although I had concerns about my video drivers. walkerk wrote a great tutorial over on the Ubuntu Forums about upgrading to the new kernel (base files for the operating system) and after getting caught up with reading over 50 pages of the thread I finally decided to take the plunge. While I did had a glitch with the video drivers it was an easy fix and even while running Ubuntu Feisty I’m noticing some improvements.

Warning: Some pretty heavy geek-speak is included, but I’ll try to keep it to a minimum.

If you’re looking for information on actually making the upgrade to Ubuntu Gutsy you want this post.

This almost cries out to be on a t-shirt

While catching with the blogs on Ubuntu Planet today I saw something that should go on a tee if it only weren’t so long:

While it’s probably fine to make an ass out of yourself, please don’t apply the same logic to others.
