Today KDE released 6.1. Now we wait for the distros to put it in their repos.

KDE 6.1 is released today, now we begin the patient wait for the distros to update their mirrors with the latest version.

Alright everyone, let’s get this party started. The title asks the question pretty well. What is the main use of your Linux install? Is it gaming, programming, just to dump windows etc…

Let’s have some fun everyone.

Hey everyone, just wanted to touch base with y’all. I’m really a little worried about our community.

As of this writing we have 295 members, but we only have 11 posts, including this one. We really need to get some quality posting going on here.

So this is what I was thinking, let’s start a mega thread of conversations around Linux in general. I would like to see what we can get going here. Also please talk to your friends that are on here and invite them to the group.

I know a lot of us, myself included, tend to just lurk until something pops up for us to interact with. I’m asking everyone here to help interact with our community. We aren’t just a help desk here, we can also have fun conversations.

This was tonight dinner. It came out great although next time m adding more cheese to the center.

I also used deli sliced cooked ham for sandwiches instead of a thicker cut. I might double the slices of ham next time although it was delicious as it was.

The recipe I used.

Like the title says. Smothered boneless pork chops and green beans for dinner. So simple and inexpensive to make.

In a large cast iron pan add oil on medium high heat and sautee a small onion in the pan once hot, light smoking from oil. When the onion is almost finished add 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Remove from pan when garlic is blackened. Place pork chops seasoned with sea salt and oregano in pan and sear for 5 mins per side, flipping twice. While pork chops are cooking make a slurry of 1 1/4 cups of milk and 2 teaspoons of corn starch.

Reduce heat to medium low, remove pork chops and set aside. Add milk with corn starch to pan and begin thickening, about 1 minute or so. Add onions and blackened garlic to sauce and mix to reheat onions. Place pork chops back in pan and cover with sauce, let simmer 5 minutes. Serve with side of choice and dinner roll if desired. Enjoy.

For tonight my household is having lasagna.

This is a delicious pizza. It’s got homemade Italian pork sausage, pepperoni, green peppers and bacon.

Basically a pork lovers pizza with freshly chopped green peppers. I put mozzarella cheese on the pizza sauce. Chopped up some fresh green pepper, then the pepperoni and sausage followed by Colby jack cheese and bacon bits. Bake for 18 minutes at 450 degrees (F). I am also including the recipe for the crust below.

1 cup hot water (105-110 degrees F)

1 TBSP active yeast (not rapid rise)

1 TBSP granulated white sugar

3 -3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ( do not use self rising)

1 TBSP olive oil ( you can use vegetable oil if you want)

1 tsp salt

In a large mixing bowl add yeast and sugar then add water. Allow yeast to activate, it will look foamy, about 5 to 10 mins. Add oil salt and flour, mix with a spoon until a lightly firm dough all forms. Use hands to knead the ball until not sticky, add flour if needed. You can use right away or if you want you can let it rise 10 to 20 minutes. Put flour on you counter top and press out by hand until almost the size of your pan. Transfer to baking pan stretching to the correct size. Add sauce and toppings.

This will make 2 thin crust pizzas or 1 hand tossed/thin pan crust pizza.

Let sit 5 minutes after coming out of oven, cut and enjoy.
