If I had to guess I would say that most flickr users don't know what Creative Commons (CC) is let alone that flickr makes it easy for them to apply CC licenses to their photos. That guess may or may not be true but what is interesting is the growth of CC licensed content. Note that Wikipedia can only use CC-BY and CC-BY-SA, which account for ~3.5M and ~2.5M photos, respectively.

ArsGeek reports that a Linux+ Study Guide is now available. This may be a good primer for those moving to Ubuntu and other Linux distros.

Unbuntu.com has relaunched it's website and has done so using Drupal. This was an excelent choice and further demonstrates that Drupal is a fantastic product for any and all to use.

Some of the reasons cited for choosing Drupal include its excellent documentation, ease of extension via modules, its responsive security team, and its ease in adding & editing content. I would also note that Drupal is quite easy to install, almost as easy as WordPress, and allows you to have a website up and running within minutes.

Out of the box, Drupal is ready for a single or multiple users and contributors, provides RSS for all content areas, indexes your content for easy searching, is compliant with web standards.
