Though I'm not much of a gamer myself, though I will occasionally pick up a controller or a joystick and play a bit when I have nothing better to do, I'm quite happy to see that UT3 will have a native Linux client. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea. I may go out and buy it, to support their endeavors to support Linux.

Editing Basics for the xorg.conf file
The xorg.conf file is the configuration file used by the X Window System to set necessary configuration parameters.
Linux.com provides a great tutorial on editing basics for this file, which is a task that can pose serious hurdles to beginning users.

Beginner's Guide to the Vi editor
I guess that I'm focusing things that aid the average beginning Linux user because I am one.
So, theme for July/August is tutorials/articles that should be of interest to newbies such as myself.
Hope my reader(s) enjoy.
Beginner's Guide to the Vi Editor is a quick-start basics guide to the vi editor made by the lovely folks at UCSD. A great basics tutorial for those who still aren't quite sure exactly what sudo is, and a great tutorial for the linux users that have never really messed with vi that much either.
That's a great jumpstart, but for those like myself who have to read multiple tutorials to get a true grasp of something, I've compiled a list of various tutorals on the vi text editor.
Linux Online, in addition to its many other tutorials, provides a good introductory lesson to vi and its commands.
The University of Oregon provides this tutorial that, though less extensive than Linux Online's, is a pretty good overview.

The Linux Chronicles, Ubuntu Volume, Chapter One
A long time ago, in a distant setting ... A certain TaylorT had Ubuntu installed on his laptop. Then, one day, a few animators were messing around, and the hardware abstraction layer magically stops working.
I had been putting it off long enough, but I really needed to get Ubuntu installed again.
After my monitor's device driver stopped working, I knew it was the last straw, and I mean the last straw. So, I chkdsk /f'ed and defrag'ed my way out of Windows, but not without Windows giving me one last glimpse of its inferiority.
I bid my old, not-so-faithful OS farewell, and booted into Ubuntu's LiveCD.
I had been trying to install it for a short while now, actually, but I had some unfortunate partitioning problems. Luckily, nothing went wrong this time, and was the best install I could have asked for.
With this done, I exited the LiveCD and had to pull out my lovely registered Linux user button.
I'm now a loud and proud new Ubuntu user...again! :)
