For a long time, my password tracking system was quite simplistic:hope I remembered the right passwords for each site or recordthem in an ordinary word-processor document. Such methods obviouslyhave great flaws. I might have a hard time remembering a password for aninfrequently used site, and a word-processor document isn't the mostsecure place to store passwords.

Subject: Elegance Colors – A customizable chameleonic theme for Gnome Shell
Elegance Colors is a dark Gnome Shell theme made by me. The cool thing about Elegance Colors is that it is Chameleonic. If you ever used Ubuntu’s Unity, then you will see how it changes colors depending on the wallpaper color.Apart from taking color from the wallpaper, Elegance Colors can also pick color from the GTK theme or use a user defined color.

GParted 0.13.0-1 has been released. The most significant enhancement is with GParted 0.13.0, which now shows when there is a difference between the file system size and the partition size. With this new feature, users can learn if there is unallocated space within a partition that can then be put to good use.

Ryan Finnie today announced the availability of Finnix 105, a live CD distribution for system administrators based on Debian's testing branch: "I am pleased to announce the release of Finnix 105, a major architectural update to the Finnix series. Finnix 105 brings major organizational changes to the build and boot systems, along with the usual assortment of software updates. Finnix 105 is the first Finnix release to be produced under Project NEALE (Normalized Extraction and Assembly of LiveCD Environments), a new set of procedures to build Finnix CDs from a minimal base Debian bootstrap. This allows for a consistent build process each time, and between architectures. It also allows for more future options, such as a native userland AMD64 release."

As Microsoft prepares Windows 8 and Office 2013, the software giant keeps comparing today’s upgrade opportunities to those from 1995, when Windows 95 and Office 95 reshaped the software market. Then Windows NT Server 4.0?s arrival in 1996 created an even bigger Microsoft revenue wave. But here’s the problem: It’s not 1995, and Microsoft should stop comparing the Windows 8-Office 2013 combination to the Windows 95-Office 95 tidal wave. They aren’t the same. Here’s why.

Finally some non-Phoronix exclusive information about Steam/Source Engine on Linux ;) Valve Software has begun to write about their Steam Linux client initiatives on their public blog. Over at blogs.valvesoftware.com/Linux is the start of the Linux blog! This should be linked to from the main Valve Software blog in the near future, I'm told (I was just pinged by them this evening about the soon-to-go-live blog post). The first post is entitled "Steam’d Penguins"; the post's author isn't displayed but I would assume it was written by Mike Sartain.

Like Ubuntu's Unity interface? Great. If not, you can easily change it to look and act like Ubuntu used to. This tutorial shows how. I won't debate whether Unity is an improvement. This article is simply a "How To" for those who want to alter it. We'll start by customizing Unity. We'll add and delete icons from the applications Launcher on the left-hand side of the screen, then we'll add icons and folders to the desktop. I'll introduce some Unity tweaking tools.

Subject: Ubuntu For Beginners: A Series Of Ubuntu Articles
These articles are first and foremost meant for beginners in Ubuntu world and open source in general. That doesn't mean that others, who are already very well involved in both the worlds, are forbidden to read. All of you are very welcome with your suggestions/ideas what could be better.

What do Bill Reynolds, Fabio Erculiani, and Clement Lefebvre have in common? They spearheaded new distributions that have become staples in Linux desktop computing. Beginning new projects is particularly difficult and not all who try succeed. So, that's why Todd Robinson might sound a little nuts with his newest experiment. He's going to attempt to create and release a complete Linux operating system each and every day for a whole month.
