Is Ubuntu (Linux) ready for the desktop?
I haven't read it yet, but InformationWeek has done a comparison between Ubuntu and Windows Vista.
It's quite a long article, but you can skip right to the conclusion. :-)
Found via Digg.
Update 1:
Ubuntu News also has a take on the comparison.

This is so sweet! My favourite piece of software for writing CD/DVD's, Nero, is available for Linux as a beta.
Found at Norway's digi.no.
Update 1:
I just grabbed and uploaded a screenshot of Nero Linux Beta taken on my Ubuntu 7.04.

For you Danish WordPress users out there:
The Danish translation of the latest version of WordPress (2.1.3) is out now.
Download WordPress 2.1.3 in Danish.
Read the blog entry regarding the release (in Danish).
Note: This also includes a Danish translation of the 2.0.10 release, since WordPress has chosen to continue support for the 2.0.x branch.
