Various Good Linux Links (Via OpenOffice.org Training, Tips, and Ideas.) Solveig Haugland offered these links. I actually bought two of those $179 PCs from Fry’s a couple of years ago. I replaced the out of the box Linux distro with Red Hat (and later Fedora). I did the entire first year of my phd in Educational Technology on one of them before getting a powerbook from work. Both machines are still humming along under the desk running various services and quenching my open source fix from time to time. I figure it is part of my job to stay up to date on Windows, OS X, and Linux. I suppose that’s part of my personal brand actually. :)
