| My small experience with Linux today has really boosted my confidence in open
| source software. It proves that open source software is often of the same
| quality as commercial software. Linux is sure to be something I’m going to be
| using much more often.

| Superkaramba runs desktop widgets on your Linux system and one of the best
| and most popular is Liquid Weather.

| Liquid Weather is a very stylish and powerful SuperKaramba widget that gives
| you your local weather forecast. It's highly customizable and the community
| is constantly building add-ons and other little components for it. You can
| even add local web cams from around the world and view real time snapshots of
| those weather conditions. And there are a number of weather maps you can
| view, as well. All with just a click of your mouse.

The Ubuntu Experience: Month One
,----[ Quote ]
| After seeing that seamonkey420 had taken the jump to Ubuntu, I decided to
| give it a try myself. Since I have been a Windows user forever, I made the
| commitment to utilize the OS for my day-to-day computing for at least a
| month. I figured that I would need at least that long to stop performing
| mental comparisons between Ubuntu and Windows. Now that a month has passed,
| I find myself actually enjoying the operating system.
