Gentoo Linux has finally released the 2008.0 release of their distribution.

Due to problems, Gentoo was unable to release any new versions of their distribution after the release of 2007.0, which was highly irregular.

Gentoo is an excellent distributions geared toward software developers and power users. This makes it powerful yet fast. The portage package manager borrows from the old ports system for software installation. And since usually most software is compiled from source just for your machine, it should run as fast as possible.

With the new version comes a better installer, a newer version of the Linux Kernel with better support for hardware, and the more compact, faster Xfce desktop environment instead of Gnome on the LiveCD installer.

If you would like to download 2008.0, a simple visit to the download page will get you what you want. Enjoy!

Looking for a free web host? Look no further than 110mb.

110mb offers you 5GB of space, 300GB of bandwidth, PHP5 and more.

Plus, they do not display any advertisements on your pages, nor do they put any sneaky pop-up ads in place.

However, unlike many other free web hosts that offer ad-free webspace, 110mb has the resources to back it up. Because there are so many users, 110mb can generate profit to keep the site constantly going, so you don't have to worry about your web host not being there tomorrow. In addition, inexpensive paid upgrades keep the flow of cash going.

So, if you have been looking for a free web host, or are just now considering the possibility of having your own website, check out 110mb.

If you need any help with the setup, just contact me. I'd be happy to help.

Need a calendar, but don't like the one that comes with Windows (or for that matter your other operating system)?

Then you should take a look at Sunbird, another free, open-source product from Mozilla.

Or, if you have Thunderbird as your email client, you can download Lightning, which is a plugin that integrates a calendar into Thunderbird.
