A novice's guide to the wide world of Linux
Linux Gurl (dot) com is almost a year old
and a new year calls for a new, fresh start to things. (For those wondering, it will be a year old on the 28th of this month.)
I’m going to try my best to write something here everyday and hopefully it will be useful (or fun) information for those reading. I’m going to start out writing how-to’s like I was wanting to a while back, but I never got around to it. Also, I wouldn’t mind a guest article once a week. I currently do not have a page on this website where people can submit one, but you can go here and submit something using that form. Please remember to fill in the “human checker” box or it won’t go through.
Today is just dedicated to getting everyone used to the idea of me actually posting every weekday, instead of the sporadic intervals I have been writing at over the past year.
Tomorrow starts the how-to on making you’re own gnoMenu theme. (I know some people don’t like it because it looks like vista, but I like it because I can use the search bar to find the app that I need without searching through several menus because I can’t remember where it was installed.)

Ah, calibre, where would I be without you right now? I do know my eBook library would be a complete mess. Let me back up… If you’ve been around the internet for a while, you know how easy it can be to develop a nice little library of eBooks on your computer of various formats.

Going through my Google accounts I realized that I hadn’t plugged Google Analytics in here in a long time, so now I can get a better idea of where all my visitors are coming from. That’s all I really want to know. (Well, that and what OS and Browser they’re using.) In doing that I

Yep, I decided to share my Conky setup with the world because I have scoured several pages of different forums and websites trying to get mine just right. It all started with a simple stumble upon this page which is what I used for my base layout a few months ago. I decided I wanted

Old layout didn’t show up in infernal explorer so I opted for a new one. Yes, I know that there are green borders around all my images now but its okay. I really don’t care at the moment. I am going to start back up with my testing of the distros. If anyone knows any
