Would the internet as we know it exist without Linux?
Absolutely not. Where Linux shines the most is in its server applications - no question.
Today, Ryan C. Gordon alias "icculus", released a demo of Prey for Linux. Prey is a first-person shooter developed by 3D Realms and Human Head.
If this an Dell / Enfatico spot– we take back all the slams we had to the advertising agency prior… It’s about Linux! Whoo hoo!!
With the success of Fedora in Linux distributions, Fedora 10 is perhaps the most anticipated operating system from their library. A faster and advanced distribution is what is proposed by them. Fedora 10, codenamed Cambridge, is set for release on November 25, 2008. So before you go on and download this new Fedora version, let me give you a detailed idea about what benefits and changes are going to be there in this new Fedora 10.
64 Studio is a Linux distribution built upon Debian with both 64 bit processors, and the designer in mind. It takes the best of Debian, strips out the unnecessary extras, then rebuilds it as a one stop shop for those doing everything from print to web design.
[...]
Overall I like 64 studio. It's certainly got a different way of doing things, but they're things that are done for the good of the graphics and multimedia designer, things that could easily translate back to a normal end user if they wanted to try it, and didn't mind the focus on multimedia design.
How do you feel about the current status, usability and stability of KDE 4? If the opinions of bloggers around the Internet are anything to go by, there are three groups of KDE users. The first is a small, though growing number of people who find KDE 4 an excellent and highly usable desktop. In the second group are those users who are aware of the new desktop's limitations and bugs, but continue to use it in the hope that the problems and bugs will eventually be fixed. And then there is the third group - the one that absolutely refuses to go beyond the excellent, stable and feature-rich KDE 3.5. Which group do you belong to? And how long will it still take before the majority of KDE users finally move to the first group of highly satisfied KDE 4 users?
I will be talking more about Android applications, since they ARE written in Java, in my future posts. Besides, since they DO run on a Linux kernel, we just might end up talking about small Linux apps that can run on the phone as well. What do you think?

Today, Google and the group of authors and publishers who were plaintiffs in the US Google Book Search lawsuits announced a groundbreaking settlement agreement. This settlement, on behalf of a broad class of copyright holders, opens new opportunities for everyone - authors, publishers, libraries, Google and readers. You can learn more about the settlement and how it may affect you and your authors by visiting the copyright settlement site ( http://books.google.co.uk/booksrightsholders/). Because the settlement is awaiting court approval, we're limited in our ability to discuss it with you. However, you are encouraged to contact the Settlement Administrator or Class Counsel, whose contact information is on the settlement website, for further assistance. You may also be interested in reading our blog post to users ( http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-chapter-for-google-book-search.html).
The proposed settlement covers books that were digitised as a part of the Google Book Search Library Project ( http://books.google.co.uk/googlebooks/library.html). The relationship we have with you under the Google Book Search Partner Programme does not change, although you will be entitled to the benefits conferred on you under the settlement, if and when the settlement is approved by the court. You will continue to be able to market your books through the Partner Programme exactly as you do today and we'll be in touch about new features and opportunities for maximising the benefits of the Partner Programme for your books.
Because the settlement is awaiting preliminary approval by the court, there is no specific action you need to take, although we encourage you to visit the copyright settlement site ( http://books.google.co.uk/booksrightsholders/) and read the material there. You will also be able to sign up on the site to be announced when more information about the settlement is available.
Of course, if you have any questions about the Google Book Search Partner Programme, please don't hesitate to contact us ( http://books.google.com/support/partner/bin/request.py).
Best regards,
