Linux Hail Helena!

By Tracy on November 24th, 2009 and posted in Reviews

Linux Mint

Having made the switch to Linux 1 year ago, first using Mandriva Linux and then switching to Linux Mint 7 (Gloria) after hearing some good reviews. I loved Mandriva but instantly fell in love with Mint. I was never tempted to go distro hopping again. However having heard both good and bad things about Ubuntu Karmic Koala I bit the bullet and decided to update to the release candidate version of Linux Mint (Helena), which, if you don’t already know is based on Karmic Koala.

Software catalogue for Windows and Linux.

By Tracy on November 7th, 2009 and posted in Reviews

Software Catalogue

The wonderful thing about Linux is its capability to get all of your software from one place. Unfortunately you don’t have that option with Windows as you have to download and install things separately, which can be rather tedious. The trouble with downloading stuff the Windows way is that you are openly subject to viruses and malware. You can be misled into downloading software that promises you the world and then hijacks your computer, once installed. You can never be sure if your security is going to be compromised.

Windows 7, Vista Done Right?

Windows 7, Vista done right?

I am sure you are well aware now that Vista came 2nd in Tech’s all time flops. Microsoft were quick to start from scratch and get on with things and in Vista’s wake came Windows Se7en. Windows 7 is in testing at the moment and the RC has been released for all to try so I decided to give it a try after all it cant possible be any worse! I installed it on my 2 year old Asus notebook which apparently could handle Vista.

Time To Upgrade Your Browser

Web browsers are probably the most used software in this day and age. We access the Internet, play on-line games, access bank accounts, use them to power web applications such as Google Docs and so much more. There are so many browsers to choose from but which one do we choose?

Event Lister

I have been searching for an Event Lister for a while now. I just wanted something simple and free. All I could find were gig organisers for bands or paid ones. That was up until I came across a Simple Events Lister from Mevin.com
