The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Ubuntu in Popular Mechanics magazine

I was reading my new Popular Mechanics magazine today, there is a really good blurb about Ubuntu in there. In fact, Popular Mechanics is offering a download from their website at http://www.popularmechanics.com/ubuntu

They had built a nice mini-pc setup with instructions for their readers. At the end was a nice writeup on ubuntu and how great it worked on their newly built computer setup.

Re: Ubuntu in Popular Mechanics magazine

There was a blurb about linux in a consumer reports mag I was reading (they were reviewing laptop best-buys). Nice to see some recognition in unusual spots.
