I'd say worth downloading by anyone who is even remotely interested in learning or using the command line in any unix flavored environment.

I'm hoping to custom build my first real linux box sometime this year. I'm thinking the new Gnome will be fun to mess with. Looks great. I'm glad their taking more ideas from OS X than they are Windows. Though they have a lot of their own good UI ideas as well.

Random Mraf Sighting

While browsing the user submitted screenshots of the Zenwalk Linux site I came across a capture from someone who once downloaded one of my desktops.  It's the little "searchingfields.jpg" sitting there (third down from the top first column) in the wallpapers folder.  I love finding this kind of stuff!   Also, Zenwalk is a good looking distro,  I'd like to try it some day.

Debian 5.0 Released

Debian1wu8
Almost forgot to mention that Debian (the mother of Ubuntu Linux) released version 5.0 last Saturday (Feb. 14th).  Looks like it's full of a lot of great updates and features.  Debian linux has a special place in the nerdy part of my heart for being the only distribution I have ever successfully installed on my PowerPC Macintosh computers.
