Alright, its that time of year again when I start wondering if I can make Linux box my main computer. I’m going to try just that for the month of December, use Fedora Core 6 as my main OS, and try to stick to using all web-based tools for the majority of my needs.
I’ll admit to everyone right up front, I will keep my desktop system on Windows XP with Office 2003, mainly because I occasionally need Photoshop, Visio, and one or two other unique apps. But I’ll try to do as much natively in Linux as possible.
I’ve a favor to those of you who are interested – can you give me suggestions on the following? I’m looking for these tools on Linux to help ease my December sojourn into Linux.
Any comments, suggestions, jeers or cheers can go in the comments. I’ll be backing up my data from my Vista laptop, wiping the HDD, and installing FC6 this week.
This is great news for the team over at Automattic – WordPress has become a world-class platform for interactive communications, and this latest move is well-earned.

The new KnowNow WordPress Enterprise Edition will offer enterprises a comprehensive authoring solution that includes a powerful new platform for open communications and information management.

The solution enables authoring of content that leverages the RSS format, meaning enterprises can speed the delivery of critical information to employees, partners, or customers.
Have you heard of the RSS features in Internet Explorer 7? How about Outlook 2007? Yep, Microsoft baked RSS goodness into the two most-used desktop applications from Redmond.
What? How well do they work? It just so happens that Kevin Tofel has a great overview of RSS in the two products. It really is a an honest appraisal of how well Microsoft has implemented RSS.
Integration is quite good, but the feature set is a little lacking. Still, if you’re starting out with RSS – these two applications will help you get a good understanding of how RSS can help you consume more information faster than simply browsing news sites.
Everywhere I’ve turned the last week or so, some new widget deal has been announced. While there are some really cool widgets and obviously some really great uses for them, does everyone want to load down their sites with these things? How much performance is sucked out of a site when building in all these widgets?
I think they’re cool, but am starting to wonder if they really bring any true value – for that matter, what value does the plug-ins I’ve added here bring?

Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
