  1. Linux for my 6 and 8 years old sons. on Ask Slashdot: Some Good Linux Desktop Option For Kids? · · Score: 1

    I have noticed chosen distro does not really make a difference. First my sons used Linux Mint happily, mostly watching videos on Youtube. Later I installed Ubuntu Gnome and they made no remarks, they found the browser on their own. I went back to Linux Mint because my older son likes to update the OS, and Mint has nice icon showing when updates are available. I like using Mint in computers I've promised to maintain (my 70+ years old aunt and uncle and some friends) because the machines really do not require much effort. Seldom update them with remote connection and twice installed printer drivers remotely. If you want to present your kids some nice games, I recommend Fedora Games distribution https://labs.fedoraproject.org... . It has ~100 games pre-installed, they work off-line and some of them are actually ok.

  2. In Donate page, when I click bitcoin - Donate Now -button, I get "The merchant is currently not able to accept this payment. Please contact the merchant to resolve this issue." Why does organizations use third party merchant to receive bitcoin? They would only need to publish bitcoin address in the website, and I would be able to donate.

  3. I use Ubuntu Gnome happily on my main computer and Linux Mint on two laptops. It was really surprising to me too one could not change mouse scroll speed in Gnome. I searched for a solution and finally bumped to imwheel, found this video and followed it's instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  5. A recent documentary about French labor laws on Mandriva CEO: Employee Lawsuits Put Us Out of Business · · Score: 1

    This hour long documentary "This World - Quelle Catastrophe! France with Robert Peston" (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jjl85) really gives you some insight to this case. Yes, I do understand the hate for greedy corporations, but insane labor laws hurt workers and especially small companies.

  6. Re:So sayeth the shepherd... on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 1

    That is a very interesting quote, do you have the source?

  7. Re:lemme get this straight on German Police Raid Homes of Wikileaks.de Domain Owner · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've never donated to any organisation just because they exist and do what they do. Until now. My 10e might not be much, but it sure felt good giving it to Wikileaks.
