Firefox Release Candidate out, new Ubuntu release and other geeky matters...
Now that the Series is over and the baseball season has come to a close I can get back to more geeky topics. First off, the Mozilla gang has released Release Candidate 1.0 of Mozilla Firefox. The are supposed to release the official version on November 9 with a big full page ad in the New York Times. It should be interesting.
A new distro I have been looking at is called Ubuntu and it seems to be a nice Debian distro using GNOME instead of KDE. There is a LiveCD version (a la Knoppix) which I have tested ut which seems a bit more polished than the 0.8 or 0.8.1 versions of gnoppix. They will even send out free CD's to people who register on their site, no shipping charge or anything. Pretty neat. Mandrake has released the official 10.1 release to members only, so it should be hitting mirrors and torrents soon.
I now have GMail invites everywhere. If anyone wants an invite, just e-mail me and you can have one. Does anyone actually read this site?
