Only recently have I come across Inkscape -- the free graphics editor that competes with the likes of Adobe Illustrator. Even you can prepare professional quality graphics if you take the time to learn this fabulous tool. And now here's a book to teach you everything you need to know. http://www.itworld.com/software/86062/book-review-the-book-inkscape#comments Open Source Software Book review Dmitry Kirsanov Sandra Henry-Stocker The Book of Inkscape vector illustration Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:02:50 -0500 Sandra Henry-Stocker 86062 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/operating-systems/86060/how-install-chrome-os-from-a-usb-drive Have you already tried Chrome OS using a virtual machine, and were less than impressed? Well now you can get a feel for how Google's Web-centric operating system will run natively on your machine. The folks over at Engadget were able to boot Chromium OS -- the open source version of what will become Chrome OS -- off of a USB stick on a Dell Vostro A90 netbook. The USB bootable disc is based on the Chromium OS build of Twitter user Hexxeh, who set up a Web site where you can view all the instructions you need for getting your bootable USB up and running. http://www.itworld.com/operating-systems/86060/how-install-chrome-os-from-a-usb-drive#comments Open Source Operating systems Software News Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:39:57 -0500 ITworld staff 86060 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/85913/five-reasons-google-chrome-os-security-wins Chrome OS' reliance on a password is a major security problem, but in other ways it has great security.

Citing everything from the browser interface that represents the entirety of the user experience to its limited hardware support and inability to install apps or play PC games, early critics have slammed Google's cloud-based OS for being exactly what it is intended to be: lean, fast, and simple. http://www.itworld.com/open-source/85687/underwhelmed-by-chrome-os-thats-kinda-point#comments Open Source Operating systems Software News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:10:06 -0500 ITworld staff 85687 at http://www.itworld.com
