May I see your ID, please?

Leonardo Gomez posted an image to his blog of some great Ubuntu IDs that look so good I’d like to get one for myself.

Thy’re heeeere!

Less than a month ago I told you that you could order your free Ubuntu Hardy LiveCDs. Guess what. In what must be a new record, I got mine yesterday!

Peng and I aren’t the only ones who aren’t thrilled with Firefox 3

It’s a known issue that Peng and I would rather use Firefox 2 than Firefox 3 and we figured there were more of us that hadn’t posted our displeasure online. There’s now another person who has posted a less than glowing recommendation for Firefox 3.

Firefox 3 RC1 is coming!

The first Release Candidate is now going through the early stages of preparation in advance for it’s release later this month, and when I do I’ll be recommending a lot of you give it a try to see how it works for you.

Can we get an assist pls?

Alberto Milone, the developer of the Envy line of programs foe automating the installation of Nvidia and ATI graphics drivers, is working on the next upgrade for EnvyNG and would like some help from testers.

Amarok Neon, blog bot, Do and new tees. Oh my!

I’m going to roll three bits of info I saw on Planet Ubuntu into one post, and I think I’m going to have something for just about everyone.

Fixing the OpenOffice.org grammar glitch in Ubuntu Hardy

Last year Nanci posted that there were grammar checking tools for OpenOffice.org, the wonderful open source office suite, that takes care of one of the most glaring omissions and deal breakers in people looking for a cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office. Unfortunately there seems to be a bit of a glitch with it in Ubuntu Hardy. Luckily there is an easy way to fix it.

A quartet of Ubuntu links

In the spirit of Nick Ali and Jeff Waugh’s daily Planet Ubuntu posts of links they’ve discovered in their surfing, I just went through my RSS feeds for the morning and have four links that I simply have to pass along.

Should open source devs sync their release schedules?

I came across an idea that’s getting tossed between Mark Shuttleworth and Tristan Rhodes suggesting that Linux distributions, and open source devs in general, synchronize their release schedules.

Two great links for people new to Ubuntu

As I was finishing up yesterday I found two great links that I wanted to let everyone know about. One is for people burning their own Ubuntu Hardy disks and one is a great reference for people getting the hang of Ubuntu.
