Ubuntu and the Canon Prixa MP600 All-In-One

By j2fi 384 days ago from http://www.j2fi.net

Earlier today, I needed to connect my wife’s Canon Prixa MP600 All-in-One printer to scan some images and print them after a little editing. In Windows, I’d only need to connect the device to an available USB port. Ubuntu is a bit different.

8 Reasons Ubuntu Aggravates Me

By j2fi 294 days ago from http://www.j2fi.net

I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux for close to 4 months now and, I’ve got to tell ya, it’s not something I want to use full time anymore.

While it was great in the start, the honeymoon has ended and I’m seeing more limitations than benefits with the human-friendly flavour of *nix. I’ve co

I’m a Mac, I’m a PC

By mikeo75 363 days ago from http://www.amikelife.com

If you are like me, you love these commercials the Apple marketing department came up with however many years ago. They’ve been funny and usually right on the money.

Here is the latest addition to the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” commercials…a rip on Microsoft Vista, which I’ve heard nothing good about. I found the video posted by Ed on The Editi

Last night I went to help out a friend with a computer problem. A little information, about once a month he calls me to tell me his computer has slowed down to an unbearable state. I fully know that it’s probably infested with spyware and viruses. He calls me once a month and usually he just wants me to do a fresh reload of windows. I made th

Debian based Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, use just one program to download, install, update and uninstall programs - the Synaptic Package Manager.

Getting the Most Out of Your Battery in Ubuntu

By j2fi 350 days ago from http://www.j2fi.net

Ubuntu’s battery life has been a bone of contention with me ever since making the switch from Windows a while ago, and it seemed that there was no real fix for this. But perhaps there is.

My trusty HP zt3000 has been able to consistently give me an hour and a half when running under any flavour of Windows XP, but never more than

Taking Ubuntu’s Battery Warnings With a Grain of Salt

By j2fi 340 days ago from http://www.j2fi.net

There have been quite a few complaints about battery life with Ubuntu, and I’ve made a few myself, but it seems that the battery life may not be quite as bad as the operating system would have us think. A little while ago I had talked about how I accidentally discovered that my battery life with Ubuntu 7.10 was actually superior to Windows XP

Looking for more games in Ubuntu?

By pumpkinjumper 58 days ago from http://www.bauer-power.net

There are actually tons of games out there for Linux, you just have to know where to get them. Sure, many of these games, since they are free and have no financial backing, cannot meat the graphics levels of some of the more popular PC games, and console games out now. To that I will concede. Some of them though are pretty damn

Getting used to Firefox 3

By HoboBen 348 days ago from http://blog.tophatstuff.co.uk

I was surprised with the new beta version of Firefox (Swiftfox) when Ubuntu updated. Most of my extensions were broken but I fixed them with about:config (details in the article). There are some impressive new features (screenshots included), but there's also a fair amount of bugs and glitches!

I installed VMWare server on my test box at work, but on Friday night when I went to do the same thing on my laptop, conveniently VMWare was doing maintenance on the download page of their website so I couldn't download it. Me being the impatient man I am decided to look elsewhere.
