linux

When I first started using Ubuntu, about a year and a half ago, I was really impressed with the preloaded Brasero CD/DVD burning software. However, after some updates, it got kind of difficult and less user friendly, so I started searching for an alternative. What I found is a nice little software called K3b.

I just went through eight Twitter apps for Linux to determine which will be my new Twitter client, and I thought I'd share my thoughts of them with you.

I tried four native Linux apps that I obtained through Ubuntu's Add/Remove feature under the Applications menu, and another four for Adobe Air. I decided to do this because I realized that TweetDeck was a memory hog and, though I have two gigabytes of RAM, it would slow some of my other programs from time to time. Here's my initial thoughts (I'll get a little more detailed after the tables ... and there are no screenshots).

The second Virtual Linux I tried was Fedora. Again, the gnome GUI is very reminiscent of Ubuntu, but there are some differences. I'm not going to go into much detail on this one as it lost my support during the installation.
