Fedora 13 released!

Alhamdulillaah, Fedora 13 has been released!  Torrents (on a newly redesigned torrent page) are also available.  Not a bad way to get back into blogging, either.  Look for more updates soon, in shaaʾ Allaah.

Testing out Lekhonee WordPress client

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Alhamdulillaah, I’ve discovered a new WordPress blogging client packaged with Fedora – namely, Lekhonee. There aren’t a lot of formatting options, but it appears you can post using HTML, so that’s a plus, I think. Let’s see how it goes.

Fedora 11 released!

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Alhamdulillaah, the Fedora Project has released Fedora 11!  You can get the torrents and/or check out the new features! (Sorry for the rather uninspired & lazy post…I usually like to share more details, but I’ve got work to do…;) )

Update: I’m starting to dislike fixed-width templates…corrected the…

screen is my new best friend

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem Note: This is a post I started writing back in November, but only got around to updating now.
