Posted in News Roundup at 6:14 pm by Dr. Roy SchestowitzGNU/LinuxA guide to the kernel development processThe purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers) work with the development community with a minimum of frustration.Linux Myth: Installing “Third Party” Software is “Hard”For this rebuttal we will forget the fact that almost all software in a Linux distribution is “third party”. I believe what those who claim to detest Linux really mean by “third party” are non-free applications from closed source developers and some few FOSS projects not included with major Linux distributions.Reimagining The DesktopKDE 4.1 goes a long way to solving that dilemma.Bluetooth GPRS with Eee pcGet A Brand New Computer For LessRed Hat: Gateway to open source in Latin AmericaRed Hat has an incredible brand here in South America.

It’s not as pretty as openSuSE or even its cousin Fedora, but it’s more stable than both on my setup. Stability wins out over eye-candy any day.Zenwalk 5.2 GNOME Edition (beta)I didn’t expect to like Zenwalk this much, but I do. It’s stable while being a beta release, it’s speedy, it just works and it does all of this while looking good. Without the installer, which requires a bit of knowledge, it would a be perfect for a Linux newbie.Debian: The OS for the rest of usI can’t say that my kicking of the tires of Debian was as thorough as it deserves. But honestly, I don’t think a thorough shakedown is that necessary. First and foremost you only need to know that the installation can be a bit challenging (when doing so from the smaller install CD). Once up and running it’s all a matter of knowing the package management system.Dell and GNU/LinuxDell to launch ‘Eee PC beater’ todayDell shipping five Hardy Heron systemsDell’s comeback machine [Linux on board]F/OSS12 great apps for bridging Windows, Linux and MacsChandler 1.0, the open source PIMMake OpenOffice Work For You : Starting OutVote on the OpenOffice.org 3.0 splash screenGoogle Unveils Open Source Security ToolThe Essential Guide to Open-Source RoutersOpen Source Twitter rivals to be a success?Do you really need paid support for Open Source products?Open source tools becoming commercial products?
