I believe in Synergy. One positive event feeds other positive events. The share of computer users who use Linux, GNU, and other Free Software is growing because people are actually starting to put some marketing muscle behind the concepts. Canonical is one of these companies. Red Hat is another. Google is also fighting the good fight. It was only a matter of time before we had to see positive results. Ubuntu TV, Android phones and tablets, and the rise in GNU/Linux’s desktop market share in 2011 are 3 such tangible results. Free Software and Open Source have arrived in 2012!

TLWIR 30 is a celebration of this achievement, and an optimistic look at what the Linux future holds. Three thrilling features will be part of our adventure this week:

• Linux++: The GNU/Linux Desktop Market Share Increments
• Brother Shows GNU/Linux Some Brotherly Love
• Ubuntu is on Fire!!

Mike and Andrew Weber are my good friends over at http://www.beginlinux.com. In this video, Mike gives a wonderful training session on configuring UFW firewalls in Linux. The training session was done during a public Google Hangout.

I had the pleasure of installing the latest Ubuntu release, version 11.04, on my Dell Inspiron Mini 1012. It was probably the smoothest installation of GNU/Linux that I have ever experienced, and I believe that Ubuntu is truly a prime time operating system. If the general populace becomes aware of Ubuntu, MS Windows will be in big trouble.
