A Brief Update (About Cinelerra)
Hello,
I know many of you have recently subscribed to me (or started “following” me) because of my post about Cinelerra. Well, I have some good news and some okay news (a.k.a. bad news). I will no longer be writing any new articles about Cinelerra on this Tumblr account or any Tumblr account, however, I will be writing articles and tutorials about Cinelerra for TildeHash.com and I...

InaTux grows to support BSD, Haiku, and...
That’s right, the people who merged into the scene back in — oh it must of been — 2008, with a crappy website and terrible selection of computer hardware. They went on to write the “Author’s Choice of Terminology License” then discontinued it. Well they’ve not only grown to fix their website, support installing all of the most prominent GNU/Linux...

Open letter to Nexon
제발 한국을 읽고 아래로 스크롤합니다. Hello, my name is Jacob Lludkrab, I am an advocate for Free Software.

Nexon having developed in part “Counter-Strike: Online”, have knowledge of the GoldSrc engine, which is...

Rename GIMP
With the up coming release of GIMP 3.0, I think that GIMP should be renamed to simply “Wilber.” Though it would no longer be an acronym for “GNU Image Manipulation Program”, but it would totally eliminate any possibly offensive terminology in exchange for a name everyone can love, especially the young, and it would give GIMP a chance at the big times.
It only makes sense...

Fullscreen flash video in GNU/Linux
First, if you are unfamiliar with the problem, go to YouTube, pick any video, and double-click on the video, or click on the little fullscreen icon, and you’ll see that the video begins to get really slow, and choppy, from dropping frames.
If you continue to move your mouse, so that the flash player doesn’t go idle, the video will continue to play, but really slow, and choppy. Stop...

BROWN?! Brown? Really, Ubuntu's Brown?
UBUNTU’S ORANGE!!
Orange!!
I can not believe how many people think Ubuntu’s brown, Ubuntu is not brown! It’s ORANGE!
Go ahead, if you’re running Ubuntu right now, open Nautilus and compare the title-bar color to the different shades of orange to the left.
Different shades of orange do look brown, I’ll give you that, but, more lighter shades of orange are used in...

GNU/Linux vs. Linux, when explaining it.
A lot of people say calling Debian, Fedora, or Slackware, GNU/Linux opposed to calling it Linux, makes it harder to explain to people.
An example, Bob could tell Sarah “You should use Fedora. It will work with your hardware, it’s fast, and it’s free” Sarah might ask “What’s Fedora?” Bob would tell her “It’s Linux.” and Sarah will just...

ACTL Rationale
http://www.inatux.com/actl/rationale.txt
Author’s Choice of Terminology License. Rationale, hardly, but a few points I’d like to write about.
First
“Because the Debian developers prefer the name GNU/Linux opposed to just “Linux” they will call Debian a “GNU/Linux Distribution” and because Canonical prefers the name Linux as opposed to...

Firefox from IE, Chrome from Firefox
I just noticed that an Internet Explorer user agent looks something similar to this “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)” that is what I see a lot in my logs, with minor dissimilarities. And that a Firefox user agent looks something similar to this “Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5” again this is what I see a lot in...

A Kernel of all things!
Just finished watching “Revolution OS” again, after a year or more.
I still can’t believe that with all the work the GNU Project put into the GNU operating system, that Linus Torvalds could come along, with a Kernel of all things, and take the credit away from the Free Software Foundation, and thus, also taking away the credit from the X.Org, Apache, etc. developers.
A Kernel...

Festival + Zenity = Easy GUI interface

Simple, nice, quick, hardly any dependencies. Change “festival” to “espeak” if you prefer. The only thing it...

Linux Hater, Bryan Lunduke, and Freedom
Now, some of you — free/open-source software enthusiasts — may have seen such posts back and forth between Bryan Lunduke — from “The Linux Action Show” — and the “Linux Hater” — from his lame blog (in his own words) — let me analyze this for a second.
The “Linux” “Hater” as I see from his blog, he likes to bash...

Sauerbraten(Cube 2) and Nexuiz
Sauerbraten — also known as Cube 2, because it uses the Cube game engine and it’s the newest version, or version 2 — is a game that has a gaming feel similar to Duke Nukem — which I like, but don’t love.
Sauerbraten’s engine is so well made that a flat wall can look bent, dented, sticking out or poking in, just using one texture — like Quake 4. And can...

GNU/Linux mainstream: The Simpsons Test
Now, we’ve all probably read this before: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/05/29/interview-joel-cohen-writer-and-associate-producer-of-the-simpsons/#more-907
Microsoft’s Windows and Apple’s Macintosh operating systems have software built-in necessary for tracking and reporting usage statistics. This lets them easily see how much market share they have. And what people are doing...

Mozilla Firefox blocked for AdBlock Plus
I just read a few good articles about Mozilla Firefox being blocked on certain website because some users of Firefox choose to install the add-on AdBlock Plus, — an advertisement extension or “add-on,” — here is why that’s wrong…
One: The user is allowed to see and not see any part of a website that is made publicly available. It shouldn’t be up to the...

Conficker: GNU/Linux's way to mainstream
I personally hope that the Conficker/Downup/Downadup/Kido computer worm — that surfaced in October 2008 and targets the Microsoft Windows operating system, that activates on April 1st — shows Windows users just how insecure the Windows operating system is, and how slow Microsoft is to react to it, and “patch” it.
The Windows operating system has always been insecure...

Cinelerra-CV - Motion Tracking Tutorial
For those of you whom use GNU/Linux, you might know of a little program called Cinelerra. Cinelerra is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License. Some of you may have seen this video on YouTube…
If not, you should watch it, and then continue reading on.
I’ve contacted the YouTube user that uploaded this video. I wanted to know how — in detail — how...
