Download KDE4 Beta 1 NOW!
BECAUSE I SAID SO.
NOW!!!!!!
Use of the KDE4 Live CD is allowed.
Kubuntu is my Linux Distro of choice. Kubuntu is based off of the wildly popular Ubuntu Desktop Linux Distro. The only difference is that instead of using GNOME, it uses KDE. If you want to run a server using Kubuntu, the easiest way is to install the Ubuntu Server Distro and from the command line do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop as root. Check them out at http://www.kubuntu.org.
My name is Dan Keenan, and I have been invited to post to this blog. Firefox 2.0 came out recently, and that will be our focus for today. Firefox 2 features a new default theme that allows you to view the names of the tabs when you have many open. It also has built in phishing protection. The Live Bookmark feature has been improved to allow you to use a different aggregator. Download Firefox 2.0 today!
Ok , so heres the deal .. .Dlotd has been kinda dead for a while … but it’s BACK (WOOT!) I have asked my friend Dan Keenan to write for me and you should see some posts from him pretty soon …We have also made a Wiki to keep an archive of all of our great software at Floss.wetpaint.com and there is a form on there for submitting applications …if you have any questions please email either me at leachim6@gmail.com or Daniel at Keenan.Dan@gmail.com

browse privately with Browzar
Published September 2, 2006 apps , Browser , closed-source , Freeware , Web 2 CommentsIt has been all over the web…the new private browser Browzar
Browzar is basically a shell for IE , it is about 300k and is very cool looking (IMHO)
The basic idea is that it saves NOTHING no history, cookies , forms NOTHING so nothing that you did online has any evidence..
It is currently in beta (surprise surprise) and comes in two colors … Silver or black
(click to enlarge)
rating:8/10 Could be very useful

Mix it up with Blender
Published August 30, 2006 3d , 3d-modeling , animation , apps , Freeware , open-source Leave a CommentOne of the coolest pieces of software I have found is Blender …. it is a 3d modeling app…Like 3dstudio MAX or Maya …but unlike those IT IS FREE
that’s right…you too can create beautiful 3d models for only No payments of 0 dollars
ok so here is the deal…blender has a lot of features ..and I mean A LOT
It is really awesome just to mess around with..you could literally spend days upon days and never use every features….
Not only is freeware…it is open source which means its not only free (as in lunch) it is also free (as in freedom) …I dunno about you…but free is my favorite number

Are you tired of windows (xp’s) drab taskbar…wow we get 3!!! whole colors …thats … boring .. you have seen mac os and its shiny dock right ?
and though … man it would be cool if Icould have that on windows…well you can
There have been others like it…like objectdock and Yz’s dock…but this is the most streamlined and simple…objectdock has adds and bugs you when you have the free version
It also supports small addons called “docklets” they can be anything from a clock to an email checker…this is a cool app and as all others on this site
