There's an interesting article over at FreeSoftwareMagazine.com about what you can do with the free time the coming holidays will likely present you with. This being an article at the Free Software Magazine, it focusses mainly on - you guessed it - Free software. The suggestions are interesting, but we have a few of our own to add.

There's so many things I've been about to do for some time now. But, alas, I always get over-ambitious and get nothing done in the end.
Should have upgraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10 some time ago, but at least it's nice that the Fedora people postponed Fedora 8's end of life from 25.Dec 2008 to 7.Jan 2009. [1]
Always wanted to try LinuxFromScratch, but it's just too big a project to get completed in a meaningful way in the short time available. So I guess I'll stay with Fedora for some time still.
I've also tried to learn OpenOffice.org's Basic variant - could have been useful in the past, had I learnt it before. When I think of this plan, however, I'm always reminded that I really wanted to try LaTeX. Oh well.
I guess it will be best for me to have a go at the author's last suggestion: "Switch off your computer" ;-)
