Choosing a Linux Distribution, Part II

In my previous article, I gave a list of criteria that can be used to help choose a Linux distribution. In this post, I will go through these point-by-point, summarize how different distributions pass or fail these tests, and reveal my present-day choice.

Choosing A Linux Distribution, Part I

The power to choose is a good thing, so long as you are choosing right. That has become difficult for most people in the Linux world, where there is a bewildering range of possibilities, and the advice you get, instead of narrowing things down, tends to simply re-emphasize the great quantity of your options. It’s no wonder that people who might be interested in trying an alternative operating system never start. In this two-part series, I will present a list of some of the factors that I considered in choosing a distribution, and show the reasoning process in action.

n-in-a-row Games, Part II

Considering the ubiquity of regular Tic-Tac-Toe, it is curious that relatively few have thought to take their game to the next level. In this article, we will explore the next step in n-in-a-row play, larger boards and larger row requirements.

n-in-a-row Games, Part I

Some years back, I happened to challenge a friend to a long (100-game) series to determine who would be the World Champion Tic-Tac-Toe player. What started as a bit of a jest then developed into a serious interest into the world of n-in-a-row games. In these posts, I hope to over-analyze simple things, show the depth of the better games, and instill an interest in them.

Terminal Dreams, Part II

As of the time of this writing, it's been about a day since my adventure in attempting to use the terminal for all tasks began. This will be somewhat abbreviated compared to the last post, for the purpose of getting it online in a reasonable time.
