One Laptop Per Child Changes Developing Nations with New Linux XO-3 Tablet
Announced only a week ago, watch to see how Linux is making a real difference in underdeveloped nations. Learn more: one.laptop.org and http In many countries around the world, technology is a luxury most cannot afford. One group is helping the situation through a program called OLPC – One Laptop Per Child. This program provides children, who would otherwise likely never see computers or other tech gadgets, with a cost-effective, rugged laptop powered by solar energy and running the free Fedora Linux distribution. These laptops have made an incredible impact on the lives and future of millions of children. This program really speaks to me; it was a privilege for me to sit down with Marvell, makers of the processor & other chips found in the OLPC XO-3 tablet. www.marvell.com Photo credits: One Laptop Per Child, Original Model – www.flickr.com OLPC Students India: www.flickr.com and OLPC Love – www.flickr.com

Xubuntu 11.10 Review – Linux Distro Reviews
A review of the Xfce variant of Ubuntu known as Xubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot. Overall, a very lightweight, stable, well-performing distribution that utilises GTK 3 but still provides a user experience very similar to GNOME 2.x. Definitely a very nice option for anyone sick of ‘futuristic and newbie friendly desktops’. Acer Iconia A500 Honeycomb Tablet and openSUSE 12.1 Review coming soon! Thanks again everyone, we’re now passed 2500 subscribers. I am truly humbled. Peace out!

How do I get linux to recognize my raid drives?
I have hard drives in a raid 0 array on my PCI raid card, which is a sil680. OpenSuse 10.3 would not complete installation when this was in my computer, so I removed it and after I installed OpenSuse linux 10.3, I put it back in.
Everything is working fine now except that I don’t have access to my raid drives. How can I get them to work in linux?
How do I erase a linux partition on my hard drive?
I have vista installed on one hard drive and fedora 10 linux installed on the other hard drive. How can I remove the linux partition since windows doesn’t recognize linux partitions?
How can I tell if my Linux install is in its own partition?
I have a Gateway netbook with Windows 7 starter. I installed the Ubuntu 10 version of Linux. But I don’t think it installed on it’s its own partition, because it never asked me about the size or anything of a partition or which partition to use. So, I followed some instructions on the internet to put Linux on its own partition, but how do I know its really on there?
What are some useful programs for Linux that do not install during the installation?
I am running Fedora 7 on 1 computer and Fedora 10 on another.
I am new to Linux so any advice is welcome
I would like to have some names of programs not a link to a site that is worthless to me
