26.01.2008Shift Linux: A New Direction
Since its incarnation in 2006, Shift Linux has had an ambitious team behind it. We have always strived to be "more than just another linux
distribution", a goal which has never been more important than it is now. Over the next little while, Shift will be reborn and redefined, moving
farther away from traditional Linux roots, and into something newer. Linux will always be our core, but on top of that, we need to use new
technologies, both those that exist and those which we can only imagine, to build something fresh. Today, Shift Linux will move forward. We have
several new goals that are being set. First of all, Shift needs to be streamlined.

Several versions of Shift Linux have been developed to produce for computers with lighter or more robust hardware configurations. We have produced

machines.
The Shift Linux live CD and the links to the

has all of the most commonly used packages that are available and is designed to be extremely fast as a live CD. Our newly designed website is full of
information about Shift: FAQs, wallpapers and theme designs, updates, contests. Please feel free to browse and comment on our content.

project team consists of members with a wide variety of experiences and talents. Each has contributed in his / her own way. Whether team members have
worked on the distribution itself, or the
Shift website, their efforts
have been dedicated to creating this quality product.
Comments on how we can improve this distribution, and bug reports can be posted on
our forum (

26.11.2008Shift Linux to become based on Arch Linux
As part of our new direction, I am proud to announce that Shift Linux will be moving away from Ubuntu, and instead switching over to Arch Linux. There
are many reasons for this, including a more customizable distribution for us as developers to work with, and a faster and more streamlined start
point. In my letter to the community about our new direction, I said that Ubuntu would suit our needs fine, and when the time felt right, we would
consider a move. Since then, the outpouring of support from the Neowin community has been unbelievable, and so we decided to take advantage of the
moment.

29.03.2006US Internet speeds still slow compared to the rest of the world
A survey by the Communications Workers of America indicates that the median download speed for US Internet connections has changed little, and remains
far slower than the rates experienced in other developed nations.
The typical US Internet connection delivers 2.3 Mbps downloads,
according to the CWA's annual survey -- 400 Kbps over the previous year.
Compare this to Japan, whether the median download
speed now stands at 63 Mbps. South Korea also is much higher at 49 Mbps, as is Finland (21 Mbps), France (17 Mbps), and even Canada, which has a
median speed of 7.6 Mbps.

16.08.2008Review: Shift Linux 0.5 (RC2) - Neowin's Linux
Our Neowin Shift Linux Developer and moderator Barney, pointed me to a review by
Sunny Talks Tech blogger Saptarshi Purkayastha on the latest release of Shift Linux 0.5 RC2. It's a great read for anyone who
hasn't tried the Live CD yet and in my opinion quite a flattering review coming from an established Linux user.
Snip from the review:
"I've been a Linux user for 10+ years and have contributed a lot of code and bug reports to different distros (distributions) over time. Just
lately, I heard about a new distro over at Neowin.net called ShiftLinux. It is a community effort from Neowin users to create a Linux distribution...
And as soon as I heard, I wondered why another distribution? But soon realized, more people coming to the Linux world, would mean a better future for
Linux.
Based on Morphix Linux, Shift is Debian based and I decided to try the latest ShiftLinux 0.5 RC2. Most stuff are going to be the
same between this one and 0.5 Final to b released on 10th Nov,2007. I prefer to use KDE, and hence got the KDE version. The distro can be downloaded
from Neowin's server or via Bittorrent. I used Bittorrent to download but to my disappointment, found only 2 seeds. I was expecting a few more seeds
(it's a yr old, so may be the initial excitement is over). But the download was pretty fast."
He also mentions the
widely misconceived myth that we are not just a Windows site , we have since
the beginning always supported and enjoyed both Linux and Apple members on the forums, we publish news on the two subjects and of course welcome and
support the Neowin Shift Linux project.

The UK is a nation of broadband speed freaks, according to figures released by broadband comparison site Top 10 Broadband. Based on over 90,000 tests

The top
three fastest providers were also the three highest rated in terms of customer satisfaction. O2 topped the rankings in terms of speed and customer
ratings, with an average speed of 6.41Mbps and customer rating of 3.82 out of 5. Second and third for speed and rating were Be and Virgin Media

This has to be UMPC scoop of

Shift for a few days and
had the chance to test it out

device:
I had The HTC Shift for
a little over 60 hours and was
able to play with many of its
great features, which include
Pocket PC, HSDPA, Vista
Business, Tilt Touchscreen,
QWERTY keyboard and more. It
is an incredible device with
many possibilities, this video
will hopefully showcase some
of that. I managed to
literally squeeze it into a
very tight schedule I am
running at present and did
what I could to cover off some
of the burning questions folks
might have.
Machine specs (as
tested):

Business (3 hrs battery)

12.08.2007Political Shift in Congress May Mean Delays in FCC Issues
With Tuesday's elections
giving the U.S. Congress a
Democratic bent from its
previous slant to the
Republican side, that means
the shift will probably end
the prospects for passage of a
telecom reform bill.
The bill would give broader
wireless federal pre-emption
and would shift more
regulative issues to the FCC
and states. With the AT&T and
Bellsouth merger approval
being deadlocked in a 2-2 vote
at this time, I'm not sure
how the recent election
results will affect the vote
in the FCC if at all, but
we'll all see soon.
