Gnome 2. Anonymous browsing with Tor By Francesco Di Leo.
I wanted to experience the thrill of browsing anonymously, or to a navigation system that does not easily reveal the information on the connection you use. The choice of which software to use is gone on Tor, but only because it is the most famous. Personally, I proceeded to download the latest version of TOR available for my GNU/Linux directly from its site.

Brief introduction, on April 15 2011 Oracle announced that it will abandon the development of the commercial version of Open Office and so the project will become officially a community only driven project. Or: goodbye OpenOffice, welcome libreoffice.
Original article By: Michael Dorf
When Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, Sun was actively sponsoring a number of open source projects. In the past, Oracle has had limited success with open source software and many felt that Oracle didn’t understand open source. As Oracle began to assimilate the various parts of Sun Microsystems, the community waited and watched to see if Oracle would be a good open source citizen.
The community didn’t need to wait long. One of Oracle’s first missteps in the open source community came when they filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Google’s Android platform. This suit rocked the open source community as many viewed it as a poor use of Sun’s Java related patents. It has also caused many in the community to question the future of Java. And for those that relied on other Sun open source projects, it called into question the future of those projects.
I’ve talked of the Humble Bundle 2 in this post, and now you have around 14 days to buy 5 good games and choose the price you want to pay for them, this seem too good to be true?
Then I add also that you can decide whether, and to what percentage, allocate part of the sum for the charity in two associations.
Yes The Humble Frozenbyte Bundle is arrived !

Today i got another 4 hours of down of the site.
When i logged into my hosting site i found that my homedir was empty and when i requested some informations at the support i got:
“We have checked your issue and found that you have deleted all main dirs(public_html,etc) thats why your site is not working.
We need to reset your account and then you need to start from scratch.”
So my hosting say that’s i’ve deleted everything and than i forgot everything about this…. sure.
I think it’s pointless to spend time with the support trying to understand what really happened, perhaps it’s not even their fault and so i’ve spent the last 3 hours in recovery the site from a backup (luckily i’m used to do this at least once at week).
So sorry for this further down of the site, i’m already searching for a new hosting company and i promise that i’ll not delete again all my files in my homedir in the future.
Today we have a guest article By: Guillermo Garron from Go2linux, i really like his site so if you don’t know it i really suggest you to go and ckeck it.
First of all, I would like to thank Riccardo to let me post this article in his wonderful blog.
I’ll write this time about Slackware and the imminent release of the 13.37 version, why 13.37? strange release number for Slackware, but for the first time Slackware has a codename, it is “leet” so 13.37 = leet :).
Like someone in the LinuxQuestions forum wrote:
