What’s more, when publishing research articles, fellow scientists, colleagues, and the general public tend to be unaware of the amount of work put into the research, as the paper published only contains the best of the best in terms [...] </article> <article> <h1>Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) or Linux Mint 11 (Katya)?</h1> <p>daemox — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 23:41:24 +0000</p> Editorial Well, I’m back. I had planned to do several updated guides and news articles following the Linux Mint 11 (Katya) release and, in fact, I did a lot of prep work for articles and guides that I may never publish (at least, not in full).

However, I’m hoping that while continuing to drive innovation, Canonical doesn’t lose sight of (maybe) the bigger picture and lose some of the “Innovators” and early, “Early Adopters” it has currently brought on board. I know I have personally [...] </article> <article> <h1>More Evidence for 2011 being the Year of GNU/Linux Gaming?</h1> <p>daemox — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:26:26 +0000</p> News As I previously speculated, there are many signs that may well indicate 2011 as the year gaming makes big inroads onto the GNU/Linux platform.
