Well, after a most successful launch, 
with over 4000(four thousand) views within 5 days of it’s birth,
EasyGeek has proven it’s worth. Surviving a name change,
EasyGeek‘s first article has made the list:
It has been on CNET,
been translated into 3 different languages,
and made it to about every Linux news site,
as well as being StumbleUpon-ed, and de.lic.ios-ed, and Mixx-ed, and reddit-ed,….
….overcoming the initial shock of flash-popularity,
I decided to shell out $32.97/yr to get some basic hosting from Spry.com,
a price which includes the domain(for that year).
In the end, I got 100mb of storage space, along with 10gb of bandwith
on our new site: www.EasyGeek.org !
Advantages:
o With a domain so catchy, there’s prestige.
o Advertising. Though kept to a minimum, ads raise funds for your favourite articles.
o More features, for cheapers*. I love modifying my own CSS with wordpress! Plug it in, plug it in…
oo The sweet favicon in the address bar!
See ya there!
Note: Under construction. New article will be posted here when complete. Please leave any
suggestions for the new site in the comments HERE, not on the new domain.
PS: I noticed someone found this newsblog by searching,”gateway mx6453 compiz ubuntu”
And yes, I do have Compiz running on that laptop(I’m typing this with it),
so the next article here will be a how to for desktop effects on the laptop.
If you don’t want to wait, use Synaptic Package manager to install(under Admin)
xserver-xgl. then, restart. Activate desktop effects. Done.

Nice site, truefire!
Here’s a name suggestion: Geeks Peak
Sounds the same, but slightly different meaning. Kind of a play on words.

Thanks S.C.! The well thought out comments you post make this site all the better.
I’ll be using the one under my first article to get friends/family/strangers on to Linux for a long time to come!
Geek’s’ Peak is great, but it doesn’t quite fit the bill.
My actual plan for the site is to have two tabs:
One for the Pro-Linux, and opinion articles.
The other for helping ‘newbs’ understand and use their machines(regardless the OS) safely and productively(obviously harder with win…blech).
I hope to see you here often.
