Having Fun with Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon

Its been quite a while since I used a Linux operating system. I've been working for a computer hardware company for several years and mostly we are using Windows in our daily operations. Every now and then I've installed an Ubuntu system just to try it out but after Lucid Lynx it seems that they are coming out with some weird stuff that it totally turned me off in using it.

The Nightmare of Doing a Software Freedom Day Presentation

Doing a Free and Open Source presentation on Software Freedom Day could be a nightmare to some resource speakers.  It is similar to eating “Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans” in the Harry Potter series since you would never really know the composition of the audience till you get there. Last year I had to improvised since I believed that the presentation that I prepared was too complicated for the audience to take notice off. I ended up with a 40 minute presentation with one slide that only tells about the title of my topic and my name (well, actually two if you count the next slide that contains my email account so that they could add me to their Facebook account).
