引述 :『Here's some suggestions in order of their size (as a compressed image rather than install or memory requirements). Most run on x86 hardware and are graphical. 』

引述 :『Great list with 25 3D games for Linux. Feel free to add more games and help another Linux users find those great time wasters you love.』

引述 :『Yes, I’m talking about amaroK, the free, open source music player, currently only for Linux and Unix, but soon to be available for Windows and Mac OS X.』

引述 :『paint-mono is a port of Paint.NET. The only way it could be built in the past was using a development version of MonoDevelop and there was no way of generating packages for it. Since then, MonoDevelop has progressed to the point where it can generate standard Unix makefiles and generate the proper scripts, pkg-config files and produce code that conforms to the Mono Application Deployment Guidelines from a Visual Studio solution.』

引述 :『pdfsam is a very simple tool. But it’s quite useful. With pdfsam, you can split and merge PDF documents. pdfsam is open source software. The latest version of pdfsam is 1.0.0 alpha. It includes basic edition and enhanced edition.』

引述 :『空間永遠都不嫌多, 選單工具列其實平常也很少用到, Hide Menubar 這個 Extension 會將 Firefox 的 選單工具列 (Menubar) 自動隱藏起來, 等到要用的時候再按 Alt 鍵 顯示即可...』

引述 :『GIMP is the undisputed king of image editing in Linux platforms, and is next only to Photoshop in popularity in Windows and Mac platforms. With a large community of developers and an even larger pool of users, it is no surprise that GIMP is very popular. Much like Firefox, GIMP’s strength lies in its plugins, which are developed by the open-source toting community. Since the users themselves develop them, they know all the needs and conceive a plugin for everything (well, except making a coffee for you ;) ). And what better way for me to endorse GIMP than a list of good plugins? Most of them are aimed at web-designers and photographers, the main users of GIMP. There are also some to fix common problems of GIMP.』

引述 :『We teamed up with Karl Vollmer, lead developer of the very cool Ampache music server to create an Ampache service for Amarok2.』

引述 :『ObsidianMusic was previously known as amaroK Web Frontend. It is a collection of scripts that, combined with a MySQL database and the Amarok player, forms an excellent way of sharing MP3 files over the Internet or a small office network. All the music files in your collection can be played, downloaded, or streamed by a regular Web browser. Furthermore, ObsidianMusic offers search capabilities and music sorting, and can be customized using themes.』

引述 :『Samba開發團隊宣布簽定一項協議，可迴避先前遭遇的障礙。由開原碼法律健將Eben Moglen領導的軟體自由法律中心(Software Freedom Law Center)，已成立一個非營利組織，稱為「通訊協定自由資訊基金會」(Protocol Freedom Information Foundation；PFIF)，支付微軟10,000歐元(約14,400美元)購得上述專屬文件。 Samba程式設計師只要簽署一份保密協議(NDA)，即可檢視文件的內容，且能根據文件自由撰寫程式碼，但不能將文件內容本身轉告其他人。同時，微軟有義務保持文件在最新的狀態。』

引述 :『No. This isn't a bit like the Novell-Microsoft agreements. This is for access to Microsoft's protocols, as ordered by the EU Commission and agreed to by Microsoft. It's a good thing, in my opinion, and the Samba guys worked really hard to make this as good as it gets. Note that it's a copyright agreement, with no per-copy royalties, not a patent licensing, but there's a list of patents. Samba has not agreed to license them. Rather it will avoid them, and with a list of them provided by Microsoft, they can and so can you. There is no acknowledgment of them by Samba, no money paid for them, nothing. This is what Novell and others could have done, and thanks to Samba, everyone is a bit freer today.』

引述 :『Well, I am sick of not being able to use High Resolution timers, which my hardware supports on my HP dv9205us laptop, but the BIOS has bugs, and will not allow me to, because it won't boot Linux without the "noapic" in grub's boot parameters. This feature would greatly speed my computer up, and use it's full potential...It is really nice of HP to use the "the customer is always right" mentality, especially when I contacted them and asked nicely if they could fix the bios and re-release it...here's what I got back:』

引述 :『The first thing we can say about the Linux desktop in 2007 is that there are more users than ever. The Linux Foundation 2006 survey had fewer than 10,000 people signing in. This year more than 20,000 Linux desktop users reported in. Who are these users? Most of them, 69.4 percent, work in small companies with one to 100 workers. To no surprise, many of them, 43.3 percent, are IT professionals or software developers, and most of them, 64.1 percent, have already deployed desktop Linux in the office.』

引述 :『測試 Firefox 3: Web application as protocol handler，使用 Fx3 查閱測試網頁，照著步驟做即可。 要讓自己寫的 Web Application 處理協定，首先要把自己註冊為處理程式： window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto', 'http://page.bobchao.net/webhandler?m=%s', 'Mail Handler Test'); 你的程式要記得自己過濾掉協定的前置字串 (在本例中是「mailto: 」)，然後就可以取得使用者點選的協定網址。如果是在私人網路，那麼可能無效，因為目前 Fx 應該不是先在使用者這邊 cache 之後無聲無息地傳過去...』

引述 :『The erratum is present in all AMD quad-core processors up to the current B2 revision. AMD has said a revision B3 is in the works and expected in Q1. One source told TR that large quantities of B3 chips might not be available until the end of Q1. The potential for instability with the TLB erratum can be corrected via BIOS-based workaround, but multiple sources have suggested the BIOS fix involves a substantial performance hit. AMD has publicly estimated the performance penalty for the BIOS fix could be around 10%, and one source pegged the penalty at 10-20%. AMD has acknowledged that the TLB erratum particularly affects virtualization, and industry sources say the performance hit from the fix may be most severe with virtualization, as well. Server administrators responsible for virtualized environments will probably want to wait for the B3-rev CPUs before upgrading.』

引述 :『To get some perspective on what lies ahead in 2008, we caught up with Linus Torvalds via email. His responses touched on the Linux development process, upcoming features, and whether he's concerned about potential patent litigation. 』

引述 :『In the past, I've bought the $200 Great Quality boxes at Fry's, and they've proved very reliable, but the salesman at Fry's told me that they were no longer carrying them, so in search of my cheap Linux fix, I decided to buy the new Everex TC2502 Green gPC being sold at WalMart. 』

引述 :『被認為是UNIX和所有現代操作系統的起源，1964年由貝爾實驗室、MIT、GE共同開發的 MULTICS系統，雖然在2000年已經將最後一台使用的機器關閉，而麻省理工現在將它全部 的原始碼公佈在網路上讓人下載，其早期使用的許多嶄新概念，如︰分時多工、動態連接以及 階層系統，都對日後的UNIX發揮相當的影響，雖然現在已經沒有可以運作MULTICS的機器， 可是原始碼的釋出對電腦及科學研究的相關人員仍有相當幫助，並且或許將來依舊會有虛擬 技術可以模擬出MULTICS的相關運作環境也說不定』

引述 :『On October 28th, Intel released the reviews on the new “Penryn” Core 2 processor, specifically the Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core QX9650. The QX9650 has a lot of new features and welcomes a new generation to the Core 2 processor family. So what are these features and how will they equate into benefits to the consumer and, more specifically, Linux users? That's what Linux Hardware is here to unravel. In this review I'll cover all the high points of the new “Penryn” core and talk to a couple Linux projects about the impact on end-user performance.』

引述 :『Mercury在非Windows上的平台來講，應該是最接近官方MSN版本的第三方即時通訊軟體，雖然目前它的速度由於Java的關係，還不是相當快速，不過在各種MSN目前的功能，它的實做程度是最高的，在視訊方面也支援，雖然還是缺乏語音的部份，不過已經是相當不錯了。 1.9版目前除了畫面有變動之外，最大的特色大概就是離線訊息支援中文了，其實在1.8版的時候，Mercury已經有離線訊息的功能，不過對於中文字都不太支援，就算收到也都是亂碼，而1.9版已經可以正式支援了，不會再看到亂碼了。 目前1.9版已經在官方網站上正式發佈，欲下載請按上方圖示，除了Windows及Mac版，這個版本也開始有Debian/Ubuntu的.deb安裝檔，以及Fedora/Redhat使用的rpm安裝檔，另外目前在Leopard上使用也還算狀態正常。』

引述 :『Electronic Arts will donate the original SimCity city-building game to each computer in the non-profit One Laptop Per Child humanitarian initiative, which designs, manufactures and distributes inexpensive laptops to children around the world with the goal of giving every child in the world access to modern education. 』
