    LITBox: One more lightbox

    Ever since LightBox was out we have seen a slew of different versions. Ryan Lowe has created LITBox. Why?

    So with all of the light/thick/whatever-box methods out there today, why would I build my own… because I wasn’t all that thrilled with the other ones out there. Don’t get me wrong, LITBox is not perfect, but for what I am developing at SpinWeb, it is the best fit. Probably the biggest advantage of the LITBox, is that it is a lightbox written into a class. This gives it the ability to open multiple instances of the LITBox and be able to control each one with unique settings and controls.

    Win32 installer for Evolution released!

    A Win32 installer for Evolution is out. Evolution is an incredibly versatile PIM client that took the Linux world by storm. It has been called an ‘Outlook replacement’ by every tech site from ZDNet to InfoWorld. It is able to connect to Microsoft Exchange and schedule/accept Microsoft Outlook Meetings. It’s GPL, so have fun and spread it around!

    Head To Head: Can Novell SUSE Linux Take On Microsoft Windows Vista?

    Microsoft’s delay with the release of Windows Vista has left enough wiggle room for other players to pursue the desktop operating system market. An old Microsoft rival, Novell, is angling to seize the day with the release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, a desktop OS geared to beat Vista in cost, manageability and features.
