My latest e-Bay purchase, a "new" Compaq Evo D510, arrived today and I'm pleased to say is up and running. A very handy purchase for a mere £120 and I'll get much more use out of it than a PlayStation.
To cut a long and probably very boring story s...

I love my Slackware Linux, as regular readers of this blog will appreciate. So the fact that this month's issue of Linux Format reviewed Slackware 11, and gave it a thorough kicking and a poor rating of 5/10 - would lead most people who know me, to e...

While idling in bed between buttock-clenched penguinesque walks to the toilet, I have been perusing the Linux offerings on You-Tube. There is a fair few and not all of them are as geeky as you may think.
