Upcoming in Winter 2008
I have lots of goodies up my sleeve and it's only a matter of time before I give birth to them. Here's a short
overview of the articles you will see in the near future. It's worth waiting and hanging by!
In no particular order ...
Pendrive Linux
Pendrive Linux is a brave concept of running Linux distributions from a USB device, natively or emulated, on
top of Windows and Linux. You can go for the uber-tiny 50MB Damn Small Linux or even run Ubuntu, while still
clicking happily in Windows.
MojoPac
MojoPac is another virtualization solution, offering privacy, security, great flexibility - and best of all -
full hardware support to Windows users. MojoPac runs from any USB device, on top of the existing Windows
installations. Well suited for software testers, gamers and people who travel a lot.
Linux Mint
Another full tutorial, with all the steps detailed in bright imagery and explanations.
LaTeX
I'm going to show you how documents were intended to be written - in plain text, with full separation of style
from content. You'll never be more geekier with LaTeX fonts in your documents.
Project Looking Glass
Project Looking Glass is a radical Java-based experiment on interactive desktops, with 3D windowing and
visualization of applications. Although young, the project has the prospect of Compiz Fusion taken one step
forward.
uBrowser
Still in the 3D world, I'm going to review a curious open-source concept, which displays web pages onto
surfaces of 3D object, using OpenGL and the Gecko rendering engine.
Hardware Profiles
Windows XP users can benefit from a built-in abstraction layer that allows them to run their Windows install
on bare bones or fully beefed up with all the services that can possibly run - ideally suited for people who
have polarized computer habits.
Highly useful Linux commands & configurations
This existing article has been slightly polished, with new entries added.
Somewhat further into the future ...
SmoothWall
A mighty firewall that will install on crumbs of space - your private router.
L2TP dialer for Linux users
I have showed you how Linux users can dial to their ISP using PPTP dialers. Next, it's L2TP.
Most of this stuff is already written, some of it quite some time ago. I hope I have piqued your appetite ... See
you around and thanks for reading my articles.
Cheers!
