  1. Re:lwm on A Newbie's Guide To A Lo-Fat Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    It really is beautiful! Just one icon per window, and very intuitive mousecommands. You can simpy clear you're entire screen (I don't believe desktop is the right word when using these windowmanagers) by rightclicking on the windowborders. Rightclicking on your rootwindow reveals a menu showing all 'hidden' entries.

    In short: small, pure, fast >> fantastic.

    (by the way.. I'm in no way involved in the product, just a dedicated follower of fashion)

  2. For the fundamentalists on Computer Books For A Library? · · Score: 1

    Although beginners might like the dummies books and programmers never stop drooling over O'Reilly books you should always add one for the fundamentalists in the group. Perhaps "Theory of Computation" by Derrick Wood will be enough self-chastisement for die-hards, detailing context free grammars, turing machines, set theory and much more late night reading delight. Enjoy!

  3. Database Driven Filesystem.... Finally! on MySQL FS · · Score: 1

    I've been writing about something like this since about 9 months ago and like to give a big thumbs up to the MySQL team! Go to http://atoms.htmlplanet.com for finding out why using a database as filesystem could be the next hype in ITword!!
