How to access your Google Drive account from Linux command line using Gdrive - 0 views

  •  
    "While Google Drive is no doubt one of the most popular (if not the most popular) cloud storage services available today, what's really sad is that there is no official Drive client available for Linux. But that doesn't mean there are no alternatives - in fact the awesome Linux/open-source community has developed several unofficial Google Drive clients, some of which we've already discussed here at HowtoForge."

How to Install Linux on a Windows Machine With UEFI Secure Boot | Linux.com | The sourc... - 0 views

  •  
    "This BIOS replacement, UEFI, caused some serious problems with "alternative" platforms. For some time, it was thought UEFI would render Linux uninstallable on any system certified for Windows 8 and up. Eventually Microsoft saw fit to require vendors to include a switch that allowed users to disable UEFI, so that their favorite Linux distribution could be installed. And then some Linux distributions set out to fully support Secure Boot (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, to name a few). "

Is GIMP the best open source alternative to Photoshop? | Opensource.com - 0 views

  •  
    "It will be eighteen years this weekend since GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, hit version 1.0 on June 5, 1996, and over twenty since the open source project first became generally available to the public. In that time, it has come a long way in both the expansion of features and in usability, and for many users across Linux, Windows, and Mac machines alike it has become their preferred image editor."

Redefining the Public Library Using Open Source Ideas | FOSS Force - 0 views

  •  
    "Christine Hall When I read that the Takoma Park Maryland Library has 28 workstations running Linux, I literally couldn't believe it. Really? A library offering the public Linux? Whenever I go to a library, all I ever see are Windows machines or maybe a Mac or two. When I mention Linux as an alternative, and I sometimes do, I'm usually met with blank stares and the staff begins to think I'm nuts."

    [Michel Bawens shares thru Nathan Lewis an article of Øyvind Holmstad] Tags: echo-technic vs.retro-echo "March 2, 2014 The notion of an "eco-technic civilization" is popular these days.

4 desktop note taking apps for Linux | Opensource.com - 0 views

  •  
    "In a previous article, I looked at four web-based alternatives to Evernote. I realize, however, that not everyone wants or needs to have their notes available on the web. Many people just want to do everything locally on their computers. That's not a problem since there are more than a few open source note taking applications for your desktop. In this article, I take a look at four of those applications."
