I saw this huge list of Live CDs on Digg and found it to be interesting. I think it covers all the live CDs one can know.

Slax tops the list on the most popular(votes) and my favourite - Knoppix is at place 4 and Ubuntu is at 8.

Jon from New Linux User has started a new blog series called One Day One Site. He would be writing about the various sites/forums where one frequents if they face some problem while on their GNU/Linux box. So, he is going to visit such sites and forums and make a small review of that site. It sure helps to get to know more sites other than to just depend on out LUG’s mailing list.

It has easy to understand examples which highlights the matched text according to the pattern.

People are now providing free remote KDE desktops via NX. I think this is a really cool idea by CosmoPOD, where they provide

Free 1GB online to store and edit your emails, office documents, calander, organizer, photos and files, chat to friends play games surf the web even faster and more from any computer on your own personal online desktop and access it from anywhere in the world.

This is a real boon to people who frequently travel and have access only to a computer with internet connection and are unable to install their favourite operating system.
