If for some reason your smartphone of choice is the HTC HD2, you'll probably be very happy that RunDroid has been created. Sure, the HD2 has some very capable and high-end hardware under the hood, but on the other hand, it runs Windows Mobile 6.5. Not even Windows Phone 7, but its ancient predecessor. Understandably, people have been hacking Android onto the HD2 for months and months. Up until ...

It was only a matter of time: a page on the Chromium Projects website has emerged, detailing how to install Ubuntu on a Cr-48 netbook. The process is, understandably, a little risky -- but it's not like there are any tech bloggers out there that don't know how to use Linux, right? Snarkiness aside, the process is actually very easy.

I have been a Linux user for quite some time -- about eight years. My husband and I have known each other since we were twelve, when our school's only computer was an Apple IIe attached to a dot matrix printer.

Last summer I posted about a driver that'll let you access Linux ext2 partitions under Windows, which is still handy, but what if your Linux partition uses ReiserFS? Well, for that there's Mark Piper's RFSD, a driver for Windows that lets you access your ReiserFS partitions as though they were ordinary FAT or NTFS drives. The project is a bit stalled, but the drivers work, so it might be just the ...
