Interesting to see Google met with the same skepticism as Microsoft from the open source community, even though Chrome OS is open source itself.

Who are you going to trust and believe in? The non-commercial Ubuntu Foundation (and wider project), which has developed an open-source operating system second to none and virtually ended the Linux distribution wars? Or Google, which also makes free products (well, mostly) and packages advertising in (sometimes)?
Heck my first project was just getting Ubuntu installed on an old Dell :)
"The reviews are in, and the just-released Ubuntu 9.04, i.e. "Jaunty Jackalope," rates as a slick, fully-formed Linux desktop. Looking to get started or upgrade your system? We're recommending 10 downloads for everyone to try."
A very cool resource for command line tips. I also thought it was cool that you could follow these tips on Twitter.
This would be really useful if I actually edited much video :)
it amazes me how much is out there in the open source community. granted to install, setup and use most of these you have to be an uber geek (i'm not even at that level) but this is part of the reason i keep pushing myself on the geek front.
For those of you not following the open source operating system world this may not seem like a big deal. Heck even if you are it still might not seem like a big deal but BSD IMO has a real shot at gaining ground in a few key areas Linux hasn't been able to because of certain OS licensing issues. I have yet to try FreeBSD but I think I may finally dip my toe in that pond. Can I use this as an excuse to buy a new machine :)
any business person not familiar with the story of linux and debian needs to be. You don't have to be a geek to appreciate the business lessons learned.

February 24, 2007 (Computerworld) -- After collecting some 1,800 new product and service ideas from IT users and customers using an online "suggestion box," Dell Inc. has announced that it's taking the user suggestions seriously and will soon debut and sell a new line of certified, user-ready Linux-loaded desktop and laptop computers.
The Dell IdeaStorm Web site, where customers and other IT enthusiasts can offer recommendations about future Dell products and configurations that they'd want to buy, was started on Feb. 16 by CEO Michael Dell, who is looking for ways to re-energize the company's sales and financial performance after several disappointing quarters.
One post that got a lot of interest was the idea that Dell bring back a reasonably priced laptop computer that runs Linux.
Just a week after debuting the IdeaStorm site, the company said Friday night that the Linux-loaded desktops and laptops will be the first user-generated suggestions that it will follow.
