Sharing your home directory with a VMware Machine
http://blog.paulbetts.org –
Ubuntu on the Mac hardware is pretty messed up right now (and by “pretty messed up” I mean “get ready to compile and edit kernel drivers by hand” messed up). VMware Fusion to the rescue!

Almost Here: The Open Source Desktop
http://www.linuxinsider.com –
This is not about being anti-Microsoft. I oversee thousands of machines that use Microsoft software, and many users need applications that are available only for the Microsoft environment.

http://linux-blog.org –
I originally intended this post to be a review of 2007 Final for PCLinuxOS. However, after finishing it up, I realized that posting a review wouldn’t have the desired effect of truly showing off PCLinuxOS to everyone. It would just be a “business as usual” type of post.
