I will not be testing, trying, or otherwise running Ubuntu 11.10

I don't have anything against Ubuntu 11.10, or the Unity interface. I might even like it. I'm getting so used to the way my Android phone works that I'm open to new desktop paradigms/metaphors.

Running ARM Linux Benchmarks On The HP TouchPad

While Hewlett-Packard recently announced they will be killing off their webOS devices, just days prior to that I had ordered an HP TouchPad 16GB to carry out some additional ARM-based Linux benchmarks.

Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) Beta Released, & Initial Impressions!

Ubuntu’s next release, the Oneiric Ocelot (11.10), will soon be upon us and the first beta for this release is now out! At this point, Oneiric has already gone through three alpha releases and the features and the interface should be, essentially, set in stone (both the feature and the user interface freezes have past).

It seemed so important that I instantly gave it top billing for this month's column.

Kernel.org hacked, but Linux kernel safe thanks to git

Attackers compromised several servers at kernel.org using an off-the-shelf Trojan that appears to have entered via a compromised user credential.
