I'm a geek. No. Really. Really geeky. And I write poetry. And I read poetry. I'm an English teacher to-be.

I am conducting a survey for a high school project I must complete in a week. I would appreciate assistance in completing and spreading (reblogging) this survey. It has less than twenty questions, so it should take less than three minutes to complete. Thank you! :)
You can give this link to any of your Linux-using friends, if you don’t mind

Reblogginh because I know I’ve got linux users in my followers
That awkward moment when you realize that you were beating your head against a wall trying to tweak server settings…
…and the whole problem was that your file-sync utility read the “groups” file and found a group with the same name but a different GID and changed all the file GIDs to that group.

Ah, the joy of Linux distros going public. I remember that.
In case you missed it last week, and, right away, the derivatives are available too:
Ubuntu 11.10 is the base for the newest 11.10 iterations of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and our newest addition to this release cycle, Lubuntu!
Kubuntu: http://kubuntu.org/news/11.10-release
Xubuntu: http://xubuntu.org/news/11.10-release
Edubuntu http://edubuntu.org/news/11.10-release
Mythbuntu: http://mythbuntu.org/11.10/release
Ubuntu Studio: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/11.10release_note
Lubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Announcement/11.10
If you’re an Ubuntu fan, go grab ‘em. (I’m intrigued by Ubuntu Studio. Wonder how it compares to ArtistX.)

Learn Linux/UNIX command-line by watching gurus at work. This is an amazing idea, especially as I just was part of this learning process recently, teaching a fellow tech about “:x” as a shortcut for “:wq” in vim just by doing it in front of him.

This is actually a brilliant idea. I should try this on an empty weekend or something.
Alexandria (http://alexandria.rubyforge.org/) a GNOME and Cocoa (OS X) library manager, with ISBN and CueCat (and basic metadata) searching/adding. Would love to see someone work with a cell-camera to enable ISBN-via-barcode input scanning (instead of just the CueCat scanner) and front-cover image input scanning.
The full rewrite of Alexandria, Palatina (http://palatin.as/), looks to be trying to offer that functionality, but it is not at a mature stage yet.
This is part of my FOSS series, but it seems easiest to just do it as a link. This is ArtistX, a bootable DVD which will turn your computer into a multimedia station without installing software. (I think you *can* install ArtistX, if you want, but you don’t need to.)
It’s Linux, it’s all free (video, sound, graphics editing, sequencing, MUXing, pretty much whatever you need to do with a piece of multimedia, it can do) and you don’t have to reinstall anything. You can use your harddrive which already has all your media as your source and destination for loading/saving, but run all the programs from memory off the DVD.
Tell me you don’t want to try it…you know you do. Burn a DVD of this bad boy and try out a graphics-centric Linux distro without installing anything.
