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. You have to hack at the SSD's filesystem a little and fiddle ...

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. We grew up together, bought our first computer together, and built our first home-grown computers together. He has never used Linux. Sure, he's played Frozen Bubble a few times. He's shut ...

Dual booting Windows and Ubuntu and still need to share the same settings and data from Firefox and Thunderbird between your two favorite OSes? It's much easier than you think. First you'll need a place to store the data which is visible in both OSes. If you have a separate FAT32 partition -- a strategy used by many a dual-boot wizard -- that's a great start! Create a directory on that ...

MacScoop reports that it has obtained a document suggesting Apple will release a final version of Boot Camp for Mac OS X Tiger this Spring -- and that it could cost $30. At the same time, Apple will be launching Mac OS X Leopard, which will include Boot Camp, so if you want the option to dual boot two operating systems, you'll have dual choices: purchase a copy of Boot Camp or upgrade to Leopard. ...

Mac Virtualization software Parallels allows OS X users to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, much in the same way as VMware does for Windows, and has been building a solid reputation as a good alternative to Apple's Boot Camp, which allows a Mac owner to install Windows, but requires dual-booting and a separate partition. But what if you've been Boot Camping for awhile but want to ...

What with the advent of Boot Camp, booting Windows XP on a new Intel Mac has become all but passé, but what about Windows Vista? Over at the OSx86 Project forums they're working on it, with a modicum of success. I'm not at all clear on the technical details--and I suggest you do a little more research than I have before attempting--but apparently the Vista installer tries to eliminate the ...

If you dual-boot Windows and Linux and are sick of not being able to access data from your Linux partitions in Windows, then Ext2 IFS for Windows is what you've been waiting for. It's a driver that lets Windows natively mount Linux Ext2 and Ext3 filesystems just as if they were FAT32 or NTFS volumes. ...
