- GetDeb – Intrepid: Liferea 1.4.22b. If you’re looking for a GTK/GNOME good news aggregator that isn’t part of a web browser or email client you should check out Liferea, the Linux Feed Reader. It’s in the Intrepid repo, but there’s an even newer version available on GetDeb. If I weren’t using Evolution for my RSS reader I think I’d use Lirerea. Either way I discovered some great feeds just from using it for a trial.
- David Welton: Ubuntu Intrepid Regression: Beware of Wireless and WPA. If you use wireless networking and WPA on Ubuntu you need to read David post about an ugly regression that has reared it’s ugly head.
- Sense Hofstede: Why is Linux support often such a deception? Sense looks at the fact that Google’s Chrome is getting a lot closer to working on Linux to take a bigger look at developers supporting Linux for their software. It’s a great big picture article that I had to make sure it’s been Stumbled.
- Aaron Bockover: Banshee 1.4 hits the streets, packed with Awesome. Banshee has become the first media player to support the Android/G1 phone, and Aaron’s got the scoop.
- Stormy Peters: KDE vs GNOME. Users are always arguing about which desktop technology is better, but Stormy shows us why the GNOME team doesn’t look at the KDE as a team to beat in the marketplace. And she’s right, too.
- TualatriX: Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.2 released: Source Editor! There’s an update to Ubuntu Tweak, and the biggest news can be misunderstood at first glance. I thought it was a way to edit source code, but this is something that can be even handier. Not only will it let you edit the third-party sources list on your system, you can share it, too. I’m a little concerned about possible security issues with the shared sources, but I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find out that TualatriX is already on that case.
