I've just about had it with these idiots. For years I've been able to use My Yahoo! page under Linux. Now, all of a sudden I get this condescending message.

I wouldn't mind using the new beta version if it didn't suck so badly. You can't even customize the display font like you could in the new version. It's just plain "fugly." And you simply cannot get back to the old version (which worked fine!).

I tried to contact them about this to no avail.

If anyone from Yahoo! is reading this, you've just pissed off every Linux user out there. Nice work!

According the the upgrade site, Ubuntu/Kubuntu have been released as of today!

I'm really looking forward to the much-anticipated new version. 7.10, or Gutsy Gibbon, promises a 3-D desktop, a new version of KDE and the native ability to read and write NTFS drives. There's also a new video control panel that's supposed to make hand-editing config files a thing of the past.

Here's the official word on how to upgrade: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading

Let me know how your upgrade goes (if you're in the club;). I'll post again when I've finished my upgrade.

Update: Well, the suggested upgrade path (using Adept) didn't work. I'm now downloading the alternate CD for 7.10 and will try an upgrade from that...

The masses have spoken and Adobe has listened! As many of you know I'm a strong Linux advocate. This evening, Steven Heinz, Flex Builder Product manager announced at Max that Flex Builder Linux Alpha is now available on labs. If you're interested in this product, please provide as much feedback to the FB Linux team as you can.

Kudos to Adobe on their recent release of the Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 for Linux. I've tried previous versions and they were buggy and slow to the point of being completely unusable.

With this new version, startup time is 2 seconds on my modest P-IV 3GHz Kubuntu box. Text display is incredibly clear on my LCD monitor and zoom rendering is very snappy. And best of all, it's very stable.

I'm happy to see Adobe acknowledging Linux as a desktop platform. I'd like to see some of their other software make the leap some day...

It's a simple matter to change the tray clock's font size and appearance in KDE under Linux, but just try it in Windows. Good luck.

I finally found a utility to allow me to customize how the tray clock in Windows looks: TClock Light

And best of all, it's free!
