Today is Blog Action Day, and at Go2Linux we are supporting it by spreading the word, I think that Linux is a good way to fight against poverty, think about all the money that goes to software companies.

Lots of people in poor countries can not afford to pay for Microsoft of Mac software, but Linux is free, and work almost the same (do not want to start a debate about which is better), the most of time it is suitable for everybody's needs.

Hi, this post is to thank you all for reading this blog, I want to celebrate with you "my readers" because today we surpassed the line of 1000 readers, we are now 1001 readers of this blog.

These are the statics from feedburner.

Thanks again to all of you, and hope you continue reading the posts, and more important that what I write could be useful for your

I will try to update the blog this weekend, but if I cant please forgive me, on March the 7th my second child was born, he is a boy! I already have a girl who is six years old.
My boy came to the world with 3.350 Kgs and 49 cms, he is healthy, and by the time I am writing this (using the hospital's WiFi) he is with his mother, feeding him :).

I wanted to share my happiness with you! thanks for your support, and also for reading this blog.

This week I have installed Gentoo, I made it using the Live CD once there I have used the text interface to install it, with the expert option, and using Networkless, so it is more or less like installing the Debian base system.

Once that installed (the instructions were easy to follow), I installed xorg

emerge xorg-x11

January 29th of 2007 Go2Linux went online, and started with our first post, today one year later I would like to celebrate with all of the readers.

First I would like to thank all of you the 600+ regular readers of this blog to whom this blog belongs, and it is because of them that some time late at night I am writing here :), also I want to thank some good friends I have made through this year, thanks to this blog.

I have found a great compilation of 25 sites given free icon sets, which are very useful for web designers, I think this is going to be of interest of Linux users, as most of them are web designers.

The list includes, icons for web 2.0, gray scale icons, asp.net, face icons, files, databases, website icons, and lots more!

take a look at this page.

Check the full list here

Hi, please read this comment I personally find it really interesting, and have try to solve it, here is my post about the solution: aptoncd, to clone a system, as you can see the solution is not yet finished, as I am not really good at shell scripts, does anyone please help me finish this?.

Hi,

I want to inform you that I have changed the platform of Go2Linux forums from SMF to myBB, as passwords can not be converted, please create again accounts, I have read this platform is better.

To the readers who are not Christians, also go my best wishes and also may God bless you, as almost all people in the world have an idea of GOD, may He be with us, and help us find the peace and help us be better humans each day.

God bless your families!

If you need to work hours with your laptop where there is no place to plug it, for example at the airport while waiting for the endless time between one fly and the other. :( ..

You may be needing something like this, the good thing about this external battery is that it is universal, the bad thing is that is another package to worry about, and to carry also, but almost everybody is carrying two Laptops batteries.

Its specifications are:

weight = 0.75 kg
dimensions = 298 x 216 x 15 mm
power = 70 VA/hour

Today I learned a funny use of the well know Debian Linux command:

apt-get

I am a regular visitor of John Cow.com, and as soon as I say this command I immediately think about him.

Hey John if you are using Debian or Ubuntu in your server, go to the console and enter:

sudo apt-get moo

Update: Sorry, the video is no longer available at youtube due to a copyright claim by a third party

This video appeared in some days ago, it is actually fun, do you think it could be true that we are facing the Bubble 2.0 :)

It is not related to Linux in anyway, but I think is o.k. to have some fun and not just work :).

This Laptop is a powerful and good in-expensive option for some people looking something between a smartphone, handheld and Laptop.

Well it is actually a Laptop with no disk but with a 4 Gbytes flash memory (disk), and USB 2.0 lets you attach any other USB memory or an external disk to it.

It comes with Linux pre-loaded, with OpenOffice, of course it has WiFi so you can stay connected with your email, your blog, or anything you want (or need) to do before arriving your home or work.

There are some people whose hands sweat too much when in contact with things, they will be more than happy with this new mouse.

It has a fan inside that keeps your hands cool and dry while you are using it.

• Optical sensor: 800dpi
• Built in cooling fan
• Cooling fan switchable
• Ergonomic Design
• USB interface

Iron key is a "Mission Impossible" like flash memory, it has AES encryption method that goes beyond military standards of security

Among others these are some of its features.

• It comes with a hardware encryption method, where all your data is encrypted to be saved and decrypted to be showed to you, it is password protected, but if you (or anybody else) fails 10 times your passwords, this chip will self destroy making impossible to read your data
• Run applications directly from your flash key, so you do not left traces on the hosts machines you may use

If you need more WiFi range this can help you, this router has a nearly a quarter mile of range (400 mts) and also has 4 100M Ethernet ports too.

It also supports WPA-Enterprise, WPA2, or WEP for security, which is really important considering its great range, so your neighbors can not steal your bandwidth.

These are some of its features:

This really surprised me, this pen is a cell phone, it is a concept but like some concept cars, this one may get to the market.

As you can see it even has a micro-sd slot, the numbers are along the pen, and there is also a LCD display.

Hope to have one in the future, I think it will use bluetooth earphone as I just can't imagine where the mic and speaker is.

I like this video a lot, it shows how you can made a TV stand out of the own TV package.

We all know that is not easy to write a message using the phone keyboard, and it would be great to have a "real" keyboard with it, but that will also take too much space, so here is the solution for that.

As you can see, this will give you the possibility to use a qwerty keyboard.

It works with laser and will that way "know" what key you have pressed.

Today TalSiach visited my and thanks to that I have came to his blog

And there what really caught my attention was this post about a usb collar for your Dog.
