Subject: Using Clonezilla: beginner and advanced approaches
Every system administrator I know develops in time the habit of putting together a toolbox where, as time passes, many useful pieces of software get added up, as the recurrent need arises. Please do not imagine this in the most classical of the sense, as this is not about a carpenter's toolkit, nor a mechanic's toolbox. It usually is a CD portfolio with live CDs, installable most-used distributions, vendor-specific tools and whatever not. Of the (indispensable) live CDs, one usually sees in the aforementioned toolbox a disk cloning item. What does it do?

GarageGames, maker of the Torque 3D game engine, has revealed its plans to open source its software. The company will make its engine available under the MIT License and will shift its focus to providing support, training and consulting for the users of the software, and will create custom applications using the engine as part of that process.

The jQuery developers have dropped the GPL (General Public Licence) from the dual licensing of the popular JavaScript library in recent releases of jQuery Core, UI, Mobile and other projects. The changes were announced in a blog post; the foundation says they are designed to eliminate confusion and make things easier for the foundation to manage, and they leave jQuery projects licensed under only the MIT licence, the other licence of the previous dual licensing.

If you're at the point of tossing that old computer in the trash, don't! No matter what, you can upgrade or find something to do with that computer, because of Linux.

Based on its specs, plenty, if you consider that Tabeo is designed for kids ages 5 and up. For one, it has a few features that Google did not even consider for the Nexus 7. The “few features” I am referring to are an HDMI port and a microSD slot.

Subject: What to prepare before installing Arch Linux the first time

There are several things you need to prepare before installing Arch Linux the first time to save time and get the best experience with Arch Linux.

Subject: VectorLinux: A Desktop That's Slim, Sleek and Speedy
The VectorLinux distro does an impressive job of blending a traditional Linux environment with the performance of other more mainstream offerings. VectorLinux is not a newcomer to the Linux desktop world. Despite its more than 10 years in development, this distro is not as well known as other Linux choices.

This is one of the best adventure games ever created since the golden era of the point-and-click adventure games (early 90's). Great graphics, deep plot, a beautiful woman, a smart guy, some crazy people and a group of dancing transexuals.. Ladies and gentlemen, this is "Runaway: A Road Adventure"!!!!

For better or for worse, the modern web relies on JavaScript. That's why JavaScript engines are critically important in modern web browsers. For years, browser vendors have competed on JavaScript benchmarks (originally just SunSpider) and apparently they will for years to come.

Subject: 7 tips for dual-booting Linux distributions and Windows
Tip Number 4: Every tip in this article is important, but this is even more so. When attempting to dual-boot on a computer with one hard drive, do not install Linux or make the mistake of installing Linux on the same partition that Windows is installed on. That is the same thing as deleting your C drive. So look before you install.
