PC Review have a new article on how to run Linux in Windows, by emulating a Virtual PC : "Many users of Windows XP and Vista will want to try Linux at some point, often just to see what all the fuss is about. There are many different Linux distributions and it isn’t convenient for a non-technical user to set up dual booting alongside an existing Windows install. Thankfully, there are tools available which mean you can play with a full Linux install inside the familiar surroundings of Microsoft Windows."

The idea of a one-play-only movie format isn't as old as the hills, but it's definitely older than VHS. One of the three original home video cassette systems was created by a movie company. So they implemented a system to prevent you from watching rented movies more than once. The lesson of what happened next would seem to _still_ not have been learned.

At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your site's news section would be greatly appreciated. Title: Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Alpha 1 ( -at -) Phoronix Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12543 Summary: "The first development snapshot for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is coming out two weeks late -- likely due to Canonical's focus on getting the Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS update out next week -- but what matters is that it's finally here. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is far from meeting the quality standards for end-users (there isn't even a desktop LiveCD spin of this release), but that didn't stop us from playing with this latest build from the Canonical camp. In this article we are looking at the few changes in the Intrepid Alpha 1 release for Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well as looking at some of the changes they have planned before this release goes gold in October."
