Anthology of Ideas

As of an update from a few days ago, users are now able to access a graphical user interface for editing xorg.conf, though only for graphic and display settings. This tool has support for dual monitors at the moment, and with the release of X.org 7.3 it will be possible to add even more. You can turn on and off both (or one) of your monitor(s), change the available resolutions, orientations, and set mirror or exteneded desktops.

I installed Fluxbox a while back, and played around with it enough to decide that I do–kinda–like it and to start customizing enough that it would be usuable in the event I decided to switch. Well in an exactly duplicate of what pushed me to move from Windows to Linux, Gnome decided to crash for no real reason (the first time in years) and it wouldn’t start up, so I switched my default session to Fluxbox, and spent a day or so customizing it enough to make it perfect.

Winux? No, React OS. ReactOS is a free and open-sourced operating system based on the Windows architecture, providing support for existing applications and drivers, and an alternative to the current dominant consumer operating system. ReactOS is a replacement for Windows users. The raison-d’etre of ReactOS is the simple fact that some people, or especially companies, will -never- switch to Linux. No matter how much Linux gets better, or is better, it is not an option for them…With ReactOS, all those worries vanish.
