Not too shabby if you want to get your kid/s a #Linux computers of their very own. https://liliputing.com/2017/04/pinebook-linux-laptop-ready-ship-89-plus-shipping.html?_utm_source=1-2-2

Has any of my #Linux people used this? While I've played with linux distros in the past, I'm primarily a Windows user #Ubuntu http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/android-apps-linux-desktop-anbox

Do you #linux? Disclaimer: I don't Linux as much as I used to, but I still think I might one day. You know, if Windows becomes a privacy scare. In the meantime, I'm actually enjoying Windows10. https://www.google.com/amp/www.tecmint.com/inxi-command-to-find-linux-system-information/amp/?_utm_source=1-2-2

If you've ever thought about trying out #Linux and wondered if you had access to quality applications that would make the transition seamless, then I have a URL for you. Granted, a lot of these are web-based, so accessible from any operating system. http://www.zdnet.com/pictures/linux-survival-guide-these-21-applications-let-you-move-easily-between-linux-and-windows/?loc=newsletter_small_thumb&ftag=TRE5575fdc&bhid=23175765561617827973660638144778&_utm_source=1-2-2

All the #Ubuntu variations in one ISO? For free? That's a darn good deal. Get it while the gettin's good. #Linux http://news.softpedia.com/news/you-can-now-download-a-single-iso-image-with-all-the-ubuntu-16-04-1-lts-flavors-508075.shtml?utm_content=buffereb6c4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=plus.google.com&utm_campaign=buffer&_utm_source=1-2-2

For those of you who don't know (which is probably all 4 of you who read this with any regularity), I have an older Asus EeePC , with the 1.6gig Atom processor and 160gig harddrive. It's nothing special, but in a world that predated tablets, this little mobile maniac was my travel companion when storage was limited, such as when traveling on the motorcycle.  Then tablets came out, but they weren't any more powerful and didn't have a keyboard. Then tablets became more powerful, but why did I need to spend more money on a tablet than I originally did on my netbook when my netbook worked just fine? And then Microsoft killed XP for good . Okay, technically Microsoft didn't kill  XP so much as they decided to stop supporting it with patches and security updates. So, I decided to take that very same netbook and replace the Windows XP with Mint Linux . I've used linux in the past but , most recently to eek out a little more life from an old one core processi...

So, as we've seen from earlier posts today, I was having some severe Gmail problems which I don't normally have. I had my friend who is on the same wifi network login and she could do so just fine. I booted up a WinXP box and I could login just fin in WinXP in both Chrome and FireFox. Disgruntled, I booted back into Linux and tried Firefox in lieu of Chrome (which I have been using almost exclusively). Lo and behold! It worked! A quick Google search (notice how it's not an 'internet search' anymore, but rather a 'Google Search') resulted in no one really having the same problems I was having in my Linux distro and Chrome. However, Twitter showed a few people having problems as well. Oh well. I guess I'm using FireFox for now. I'll give Chrome another try in while.

TwitterGadget iGoogle Twitter Client: More Ways To Use TwitterGadget I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 (AMD64) and using this TwitterGadget on my Desktop is much easier than trying to use TweetDeck or Gwibber or anything of the other micro-blogging clients provided in the Software Suite. Try this. It's so easy, but you need to have Chrome for Linux installed first.
