If you haven’t seen it already I recommend watching the streaming video of Friday’s keynote from Novell’s Brainshare Conference.
They talk about some exciting stuff they are doing by incorporating Xen virtualization technology into their products. They demoed some GUI tools they have created for managing virtual resources. One demo shows them […]
As most of you have probably already seen Nero has released a Linux version of its CD burning software, NeroLINUX, and Adobe has sort of released an updated version of its PDF viewer, Acrobat 7 (you can grab it HERE).
Most Linux users are going to say, or are saying, we don’t need NeroLINUX […]
Well, not quit a religion exactly though many people have compared it to that…I came across this interesting blog entry today about how the Fellowship Church, apparently the 5th largest church in the U.S., is moving its web development platform from an MS .NET environment to a Linux/Apache/PostgreSQL/PHP environment!
The initial announcement can be found here […]

In other Linux Desktop news, Beagle 0.8 was released today with lots of improvements!
As Novell Prepares for Desktop Linux 10 […]
This weekend I took time to install Xandros 3 (Open Circulation Edition) and CentOS 4. I have to admit that I wasn’t extremely impressed with Xandros 3. Not much different compared to version 2 which I reviewed here: Xandros 2.0 - Standard Edition. XFM, their “proprietary” file manager, is still somewhat impressive […]
So do good things really come to those who wait…and keep waiting…and waiting…or does it simply provide opportunity for your competition to either catch up or surpass or perhaps get even further ahead (depending on the particular situation). Anyway, I saw that Paul Thurrott updated his The Road to Windows “Longhorn” 2005 page […]
Today I read an article on eWeek by David Coursey, a journalist I’ve never been a fan of. He really goes out on a limb here and makes an amazingly profound statement/prediction. So here it is…MacOS X doesn’t have any viruses yet, but someday it might! Holy Crap! I […]
Several days ago I came across a relatively new distribution called Foresight Linux which is supposed to showcase some of the latest technologies around GNOME. Some of the more interesting packages included in the current release are:

Beagle
F-Spot
Howl
HAL
Conary
I always love being able to try the latest-and-greatest applications and is the reason I took […]

Several weeks ago I attended the CPLUG Security Conference. I found it to be very well run, especially considering several cirucumstances. (1) it was the first one, so you are never sure what to expect. (2) it was run and organized by the local LUG, I have been to events […]
