Vincross has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a modular “MIND Kit” robotics kit ranging from $89 for the Linux-driven, quad -A53 compute unit to $799 for a complete kit with servo controller, motors, battery, bases, sensors, lidar, and a mic array. The MIND Kit aims to fill the gap between professional robotics kits and robot development kits aimed at children.

My article this week is about gaming with Linux and what you sacrifice when you do so. One of the main ones is graphic card support. With open source programs, the one mentioned is Nouveau, you don't get the performance you would with the Nvidia's proprietary drivers. After reading the article you'll see that Linux hasn't quite caught up with Windows in the gaming world but to really catch up, they need to make it simpler.

This article explains SSH, and how it works. It compares it to telnet, and why it was created due to telnet's poor security due to it's data being transferred as plain text. It also talks about how a client initiates SSH connection with a server, using port 22. It helps you understand what ssh is, and what happens when a user tries to login to the server.

If you are looking to sharpen your Bash abilities with Linux command line games, this article is for you. Wargames is a collection of terminal based games, that you can connect to and play via SSH. All of the games are played through the terminal. Each game will have its own SSH port, so you will need to make sure you have an internet connection and have SSH installed. From there you can connect to each game manually by port number and begin testing your command line skills!

Article is about Intel supporting/adding Linux kernel to dedicated GPU.
Intel says that there spending more time on Linux graphics drivers, and says Linux won't be a second class citizen when it comes to its drivers. Also Intel states that it has its own graphics drivers can compete with AMD and Nividia.

This article goes through some reasons that Linux Mint is better than Ubuntu for new users. The article talks about how there is less memory usage in Linux Mint than Ubuntu, the software manager is faster and sleeker, and a few other things. Then it talks about how Linux mint seems to be a better option than Ubuntu for absolute beginner Linux users.

This article lists the 5 best Linux distros (according to the writer). Some distros are more popular with programmers, such as Debian Linux, while others are popular with both programmers and regular users. They break down various pros that each possess for different types of people.

Re: Article #7 - Due February 25
At some point, you may come across a GUI-less linux box where you need to configure network settings, but how do you do so without a GUI? The ifconfig command does much more than simply listing your network interfaces and displaying your current IP addressing information. With a few extra arguments, it allows you to change your IP, Netmask, a "Broadcast" IP, whatever this is, and also allows you to modify your MAC address.
