Adobe does not yet have a 64 bit version of the AIR SDK or runtime for Linux. They do have some instructions for getting it to work. If you run Ubuntu, it is much simpler. just type:
$ sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libc6 libc6-i386
I have only tested this on Jaunty, so I can't promise it works on earlier releases, but it's lots easier than the manual unpacking stuff on Adobe's page.
My sister, Liesl, and I recorded this song for our family and friends. Merry Christmas to all of you, may you have a wonderful holiday season, and best wishes for a prosperous new year.
Zenoss is a great open source system monitoring tool. I usually configure it to get data using SNMP.

I have I have had Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) on one of my machines for a month or so. I really miss baghira, which makes linux look at much like OSX as linux can look. Alas, there will be no baghira for QT4. I thought I'd try out cloudcity (or bespin, I can't figure out what the real name is), written by the same guy who wrote baghira. It's not an OSX clone (boo), it's still early code, and you'll have to compile your own, but it's not hard. Here's what I did:
Some people are perfectly happy with the $2 keyboard that came with their Gateway. Personally, I would rather write with a pencil than use one of those mushy plastic heaps. I have always tried to find nice keyboards, but they always have been second best to the metal clicky keyboard on the IBM 286 that was my computer at my first job. Ever since then I have never really loved my keyboard, until now.
