Developing Adobe Air Apps with Linux
I finally found a little project I wanted to do using Adobe Air and after some searching I found out you can use Linux to develop Air applications. At first I thought I would have to use Flex Builder which is still in alpha for Linux but it turns out there is a better option [...]
Upgrade to Fedora 12 from Fedora 11
Fedora 12 was just released and it is time to upgrade again of course. I almost thought this was going to be a version to yawn at but then I saw that there was going to be a new version of Fedora based on Moblin and it seemed exciting again. Of course that isn't the [...]
Upgrading to Fedora 11 from Fedora 10
It is time again to upgrade if you are using Fedora. Fedora 11 was released a few days ago and contains some nice enhancements. For people who can a complete re-install is probably best. One reason for that is the inclusion of ext4 in Fedora11. You won't get the benefit of ext4 unless you do [...]
