Things I write for Planet FedoraProject consumption
Today I am over at my sister’s trying in vain to use Microsoft’s “Easy File Transfer” (*snort*) to move her files from an older XP system to her newer Vista. (I tried to talk them into trying Linux but the kids have games, husband a proprietary app, yadda yadda.) This …
