A nice set of Gimp tutorials for beginners like me. You look at a edited picture and wonder how they did it. You think it would take some time but once you know how its done. It really isn't that bad.

New EXT4, Btrfs, NILFS2 Performance Benchmarks

Looking through my Google reader tonight and see this article about a few of the new Linux file systems. Worth checking out if you are thinking about moving to one.

50% off Windows 7 Upgrade till July 11

So for $50 you can get Home premium or for $100 get Windows 7 pro. Not bad but the fact I got Windows Ultimate and it was a complete waste of money doesn't fix the $229 upgrade for it. Why does Microsoft sell Ultimate when its a Ultimate waste of money? Really the Ultimate upgrade should be reduced for us. We spent the cash on Vista Ultimate expecting more then a few new wallpapers and software that doesn't work AT ALL. Main reason I'm moving away from Windows. I just feel screwed over.

Even Linux has issues. Video from Linuxfest.

No more reboots for Linux!!!

Very cool way to never need to reboot the PC after a update. This would be great for the servers at work.

Linux is better than Windows

I have completely moved off Windows. No more slow Vista but a stable and fast Linux system. Not that there isn't problems I can't run iTunes and a lot of games. Got to use VirtualBox to run a copy of XP to sync my iPod. But its a much better set up then running Windows 7.
