This fellow describes how he got a refund for Windows Vista - a whopping $200 - with the purchase of his new computer.  All he had to do was decline the Windows Vista EULA agreement when starting his computer for the first time.

Brilliant!  Now a person can go out and buy those low-end Acers you can find for $500, get $200 back and brag to all your friends that you have a fully loaded laptop for the price they paid for their ASUS EeePC or other sub-notebook!

Chin Wong has written an article on why some businesses should consider shifting to Ubuntu.  In my opinion, this article is a best of breed for such a topic.  Chin is a good writer that clearly conveys his thoughts in an organized and objective manner.  It is not strategic, biased, or emotional like other other Ubuntu blogs and articles.  This was a breath of fresh air.

While the Linux Counter aims to determine how many Linux users there are worldwide, the Ubuntu Counter "aims to catalogue the number of registered machines using the numerous variants of the Ubuntu Linux distribution".

If you use Ubuntu, consider joining the Ubuntu Counter project.  I did.

I like to hear the experiences of people switching to Linux (especially Ubuntu) from other desktop systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple, and others.

Although the benefits of using Linux are well cited all over the internet, it's the personal accounts or testimonials that prove these benefits.

Ubuntu Story is a website that let's people share the Linux history and how they found Ubuntu.

For some reason or another, I've always enjoyed topics of Ubuntu and Fonts so this post on how to create or edit fonts on Ubuntu was a pleasant read. 

The author does a particularly nice job of highlighting some font related tools one can install on Ubuntu such as FontForge, Specimen Font Previewer, Fonty Python (lol, what a good name), Waterfall and Font Image.
