Subject: Linux for Windows systems administrators: Administer Linux with GNOME desktop tools
Working with Linux doesn[he]apos[/he]t mean your work is restricted to command-line tools. True, most experienced Linux administrators use command-line tools for convenience and more efficient administration. However, the GNOME project provides some excellent tools for managing a Linux server using a graphical user interface (GUI). Using your Microsoft Windows background experience, you might find that these tools make the transition less dramatic.

Microsoft’s Kinect technology was the next amazing step in gaming. Microsoft is constantly testing and improving this technology in an attempt to make it more useful for all its customers in any platform (gaming, desktop, research).What about us the Linux users?
