ECS representatives said. Both the G-series and J-series come with options for a Linux OS from Linpus Technologies.
Last month, Asustek revealed the Eee Box, a mini-desktop PC that has an Atom microprocessor, will come with either a Linux or Windows XP OS, and will begin selling in July for around US$300. The machine takes its name from the popular mini-laptop, Eee PC, by Asustek.
But after the past couple of years as I got more into web development, I started to experience some pain as a WinXP user because it seems like most of the interesting web technologies are optimized for Linux or Mac users, and for Windows users there’s usually a short appendix in the doc that says “If you are unfortunate enough to use Windows, the following has been said to work…”
As an average PC user looking to buy a Mac, you would most likely be surprised by the high prices.
Cognos, which IBM acquired in January for $4.9 billion, is now shipping a version of its IBM Cognos 8 BI software for Linux running on IBM's System z10 mainframes.
The product is delivered as an appliance that is Intel-based, includes a crypto accelerator in hardware (for high-volume event signing) and runs Linux under the hood.
Obviously that isn’t possible, so my suggestions are as follows:
* Answer posts relating to proprietary software on UbuntuForums.org and LinuxQuestions.org, and talk to these people about the benefits of Free Software
* Create media, including videos, music, etc that people would enjoy listening to (that means this doesn’t count) that they would enjoy sharing with others
For all current fans of Myah OS and all those soon to be, we give you Myah OS 3.0 Dragon. Dragon is the code name for Myah OS built around the KDE 3 desktop. We chose KDE 3.5.9 since it's still considered the most stable and best supported version of KDE.
Scientific Linux 5.2 has been released in record time. We want to thank everyone who has contributed, tested, and given us feedback. Without your help this release couldn't have come out as quickly and smoothly as it has.
After a two-week delay, we proudly announce the immediate availability of Parsix GNU/Linux 1.5r0 codename 'Viola'. Parsix Viola brings several new features, contains a new kernel, updated software packages, updated documentation, improved installer system and several fixes for the reported defects.
Finnix is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian testing. Today marks the release of version 92.0 for the x86/AMD64, PowerPC, and UML/Xen platforms.
Ajax toolkits are abundant. There are probably a half dozen leading products plus another half dozen behind that, according to Hakman. They can mix and match features, and all of them are open source, accessible and liberally licensed, he noted.
He said the first Philippine Open Source Summit, held in Cebu last week, provided ICT industry players a venue to discuss the agenda that will provide enhanced support for OSS.
He said that a number of open source advocates, most of whom became prominent only this year, have also expressed support for the program.
“The open source movement is taking the world by storm,” he said.
Microsoft certainly never imagined anything like this. A talk given behind closed doors at the Microsoft BlueHat Security Briefing revealed a huge security problem in Internet Explorer.
The number of malware detections has grown by almost half a million since the end of the year, jumping from 500,000 total detections to 900,000.
"I have a nasty feeling that the situation is getting worse, not better", says Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for the security vendor.
A MONOLITHIC operating system like Windows perpetuates an obsolete design. We don’t need to load up our machines with bloated layers we won’t use.
Actually, Avie was referring to an atmosphere of desperation, as the Times calls it, just before Apple started the Mac OS X project. Microsoft, possibly, hasn't hit "rock bottom" yet, and therefore doesn't feel a need to build something from scratch.
Personally, I thought "Windows 7" was going to be a leaner, less-backward-compatible build, but I was wrong (as I frequently am): "Our approach with Windows 7 is to build off the same core architecture as Windows Vista," said Bill Veghte, a Microsoft VP. Hello, Windows Me 2.0.
Despite what the market may suggest, Yahoo was wise to reject the Microsoft offer. Microsoft's interest in Yahoo was, for the most part, to acquire its market share in search and online advertising - a segment currently dominated by Google.
[...]
Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo is akin to taking the drumstick, your favorite piece of the chicken, and then throwing out the rest because it's not really tasty to you. You're interested only in ensuring that your archrival doesn't get the drumstick before you do.
Professor Chris Johnson, from the computing science department of Glasgow University, said: "There are lots of devices that don't run Microsoft software these days, and just like that, a lot of devices wouldn't use digital manners.
"Unless Microsoft makes it in the interest of people to buy a device with this technology, nobody's going to bother buying things that use it. I can't see a huge marketplace for digital manners at the moment."
Loyal XP users are not alone in their exclusion from NBC's online coverage, the partnership also excludes Mac users, as well those that do their web surfing from a phone.
