Ubuntu NetBook Remix

Ubuntu is starting to get into other markets. In this case the sub-note book market. NetBook Remix marks the beginning of this. With the wild success of the ASUS EeePC it makes a lot of sense. It is rumored that Dell will offer NetBook Remix on their new sub note book . Free Software Magazine provides some detail on what makes NetBook Remix special.

Big Buck Bunny

This is the second open movie project released by the Blender Foundation . The first Elephants Dream was also a 3D animated short film. However Big Buck Bunny may appeal to a wider audience than ED as it looks more like a Pixar movie. What's so great about this movie? It was produced entirely on open source software. Blender , the 3D animating software used, now has features in it that large Hollywood studios pay thousands of dollars for. Not bad for community produced software! You can get (download or buy) the movie here .
