Enlightenment gets the Germain treatment today as readers are instructed on what Enlightenment is, what it does, and how to get it. Germain says it's different than any other desktop out there and that its functionality could change your very approach to using Linux.

But easiest of all is the distribution featuring Enlightenment as their main or only desktop. See the rest of that story to "become enlightened."

Linux founder Linus Torvalds posted a new video at the Linux Foundation to encourage users to get their Introduction to Linux. He shares what Linux has meant and has become to him and others and says, "Everybody has something they can give to the project." See that full video at Linux.com.
