Today, when CentOS 5.6 is released, isn't it good time to remember what was in CentOS 5.5? As long as Red Hat (commercial product) is open source software, anyone can use their source code for own purposes. That's the way how CentOS was born. Selection of available versions for CentOS is not massive. If you want to have Live system, you have a choice of only one variety. Practically, this is GNOME-embedded system. No choice between KDE, LXDE or any other windows manager. At least, for CentOS 5.5, which I used.

Can you ever expect that three of your oldest friends which belong to different companies can be found in the same place? Difficult to imagine, isn't is? It's like accidentally finding your best school friend and your best colleague in your favorite pub just across the road from your home. Dream! Same happened to me recently.

New star appeared on the Ubuntu sky recently, and this star is called Bodhi Linux. Version 1.0.0 was released at the end of March, just a week ago. Everything new is interesting. Hopefully, not only for myself, but also for my readers. That's why I have to try this new operating system. Bodhi Linux image weights less than 400Mb, which puts it into the same line as Puppy and SLAX. While testing Bodhi Linux, I learnt 4 lessons which I'd like to tell you about.

As new release of Ubuntu is coming, is it time to remember what happened about half a year ago, on the 10.10.10? And were there any reasons to update to 10.10?

Does Wikipedia know everything? 99% of Internet users will most likely answer "yes" to this question. Do you want me to prove that is not true?

If you have more than one computer at your home, there is a chance that one of them runs Windows and another - Linux. Then, you are more than likely to have a necessity to share files between your computers. Most of the methods could be found in the Internet go deep into understanding of stuff which you might not know or need with simple network.

How many countries do you know which are placed in Europe and Asia both? Russia? Anything else? Yes, that is Turkey. Not the most well known country in the world, although European culture would be different if this country would not exist. Byzantium, Constantinople... They are all parts of Turkish history. Of course, Linux is popular there too, as well is all over the world. If you have Linux fans, surely you will have your own Linux distributive. Does Turkey have one? Yes, and it is named after Anatolian leopard: Pardus.

I was in a situation the other day, where I needed to connect my iPod Touch to the internet but there was no wifi available so I think about using my 3G data plan. I have a data plan with my Laptop, I use a Huawei E156 B, to connect my laptop with the 3G network.

Did I enjoyed my long awaited Tux immediately? Unfortunately, no. I have quite nice feelings about OpenSuSE in general, because it was one of the first Linuxes I have tried and wrote about in my blog. And it was second from the list of non-pocket Linuxes, after Mandriva. That time, back in October 2010, I managed to kill Green Gecko when running it from Live USB. Because of this long acquitaince between me and Green Gecko, news about next version of it were long awaited by me.
