Kubuntu 6.10

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.

Firefox 2.0

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!

basically its a bunch of cool little apps that are all either free or open source and are smaller than 1.4 megs (the size of a floppy)

Long Answer:They are very nice because they have only the features you need , download fast , and are not bloated and complicated

Mix it up with Blender

One 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
