Ubuntu Linux Help

I had an inspiring thought this morning! (Trust me… this is a rare event! Ha ha ha…) It occurred to me how vibrant a number of Ubuntu Linux flavours there must be. I’ve often been asked which is the best one to use, and responded based on my immediate quick thoughts. However, I’ve never actually sat down and written out something helpful to new (or existing) Linux users, listing them so they could follow-up at leisure, later. Maybe I should have written this when the blog originally launched? Either way, inspiration hits at the oddest times, during this video for example: Read the full post…

I’ve been struggling with how to keep the Ubuntu Linux Help blog successful (and alive). One issue I’ve had to deal with is server costs. Finding money to keep this blog going is difficult and it would be easy to shut-down the blog. But… I truly believe that it provides value to the Linux (and non-Linux) community (based on many of the positive comments received).

I’ve thought to place a “donate” button somewhere, but that means you, the reader would be asked to send money. I don’t want to do that. So, I spent some time and a little creative thought to think of some free ways we can thank bloggers. The following are some of (what I think are) my better ideas. Read the full post…

Just a short post to all of you. I’m am trying and experiment.

You will see flags on the right side of this blog. Click the flag you want to translate the text into. This is using the Google Translation Service and the “Global Translator Plugin”. The plugin is found here: http://www.nothing2hide.net/wp-plugins/wordpress-global-translator-plugin/

My questions to you are:

1) Is the plugin and the Google translation service working for you?

2) Is this adding value to your visit?

But… to better clarify your thoughts. Please use the poll on the right sidebar to send your feedback.

Thanks!

Another 30 second clip of some funnier sides to Linux life. It’s not always serious you know!

Linux is fun because you can do more with it. Just see the video below…

I was sent an interesting link to a “beta” site. After playing a bit, I came up with a rough video but thought I’d post it for readers who might be interested in this service to produce their Linux related videos. My favourite line? “It’s the difference between trust and antitrust”

Here’s the link to that site: http://animoto.com/
