Club Linux Coffs Harbour

I'm currently doing some research on used stationary bikes. Although there are 2 main types of staionary bikes. I would like to go further and research some similar fitness equipment like the mini exercise bikes and the airdyne. Here is the start of that research and I really hope to grow that initial post that I made here http://www.dogengine.com/us/used-stationary-bikes.php

Hi All,

Just thought I'd open a thread for us to provide suggestions, links and recomendations to open source video editing solutions. I'd prefer to stick to linux as this is the Club Linux website, but I know a few people are interested in making stuff work on their Microsoft machines.

I couldn't remember the name of the gnome video editing project today, so here it is:

Linux.com has reviewed the new releases from Mandriva and Ubuntu, both generally favourably. Mandriva's package management system(s) still appear to be letting it down, and Ubuntu "Edgy" disappoints for it's lack of "edginess". If you've used either, leave your impressions in the comments below.

LinuxForums has published yet another review of the options for Windows refugees. Highlights include a comparison table featuring minimum and recommended system requirements for four GNU/Linux distributions plus two proprietary operating systems (I nearly choked on my muesli reading the stats for Vista), and a pleasing absence of the misleading generalisations, ignorance, and FUD-repeated-as-fact that one often finds in these sorts of articles. Although only four distros are compared, each seems to have been chosen as being representative of a particular category, so the newbie still gets a good idea of the breadth of what's available.

Tom's Hardware has reviewed MythTV and concludes:

"Perhaps the most profound and telling advantage to MythTV [over Windows XP Media Centre Edition] is that its status as a community-based product means anyone can lend a hand in the development process. Possible contributions range from suggesting new and improved features, to creating and implementing new components. In fact, that is how many of the bundled plug-ins and add-ons found their way into the existing MythTV suite, and many more fol

Linux Edge looks at a very early and not-ready-for-prime-time version of the Hula Mail and Calendar Server, or at least it's web interface. Nat Friedman of Novell launched this project over a year ago, touting it as the mail and calendar server people will actually enjoy using. The caught my attention, as every existing product in this area that I've tried could most diplomatically be described as "challenging" to deploy (and not in a fun way).

Anybody who's ever seen my desk will not have seen my desk. Rather they will have seen the thick blanket of todo lists which completely cover it. A couple of weeks ago I resolved to do something about this, and installed Tomboy.

Tomboy is a desktop note-taker which incorporates a lot of the features of a wiki, with the additional responsiveness that comes from being a local rather than web-based application.  Linux.com has a review of Tomboy including a feature wish-list to which I have one addition: storage or at least synchronisation of data on a remote machine. Tomboy is designed for managing for the sort of information that you don't want to have to leave at home. If you could keep your notes online, possibly even with an auxilliary web-based interface, this would be a really cool little app.
