The greatest free photo and image editor available.

I have been using using this very powerful editing software since 2005 with great success. Tough to learn at first but well worth the effort. Gimp is open source so feel free to download and install without limitations or fees. Available for Linux, Apple Mac, Windows, etc...

Ubuntu 8.04 on Macbook 13"



Ubuntu on Macbook

The above link covers all the steps necessary to install Ubuntu on a Macbook 13" except:
upon a boot into rEFIT I had to enter its partitioning tool and synchronize the boot table otherwise I got the sad "No Bootable Device found. Insert Disk and press any key" when I would attempt to boot my Ubuntu partition. All you have to do is press the down arrow in the rEFIT boot menu to the Partitioning Tool then just synchronize the MBR.

How to access NAS with Vista


Network Attached Storage from Vista:
In Vista, don't access the NAS from your Network because authentication may fail as it has for me. Instead, in a window and not from Internet Explorer, put the IP address of your NAS (for me: \\182.165.1.3) to display the authentication window of your NAS, at that point insert you username and password for the NAS and you will be connected.
