Demand for Linux server skills grew by only 18 percent -- but as you'd expect, that segment has far more postings than any other. Similarly, JavaScript and Perl, which have been popular for some time, grew slowly but from a large base.
I am pleased to announce the availability of LSB 4.0 Release Candidate 1.
This version of LSB 4.0 has been put in the normal release directories, but IS ONLY A RELEASE CANDIDATE! In particular, certification is not yet open for LSB 4.0.
Kochi: The Indian Linux Users’ Group (ILUG), Kochi chapter, will discuss various aspects of free software education in schools in the State at its monthly meeting at the Internet Club in Broadway Enclave on Sunday.
The thrust of the meeting will be to bridge the gap between the teaching community and the free software fraternity.
The concepts in Windows are really messed up. You need to press Start to shut it down! Where is the logic? You open My Computer and instead of information about your computer you see drives. What if I want my drive to be mounted in some other location? What if I do not wish to install an anti-virus? We are paying for absolute horse****. Bulky and useless.
I made a small KDE 4.2 counter. The small icons in the counter indicate (left to right) a great interface, security (good ol’ *nix), ease of usage, customizability and support that KDE offers.
On the behalf of the Sabayon Linux team, we are pleased to announce that "the next big thing" is coming on your computers on Christmas '08.
IMHO a distribution like Mint is essential if the Linux community wants to move more people from Windows to Linux. The geeks have long ago adopted Linux as their OS of choice. What we need to do now is convert those people who regard their computer as an appliance. Tools like mint4win and having all the codecs working out of the box is necessary for these folks trying out Linux for the first time. I fear anything less will convince them that Linux is shoddy or somehow inferior in quality to Windows. I think the “it works better” arguement has to come before the “it’s free” argument. Otherwise people will buy the Microsoft bull and Windows will continue to garner it’s 90 percent share of the desktop market. As people gain some experience with Linux I think they will come to appreciate the difference between free and proprietary software.
Marcich cited progress ODF made in the year and outlined in the ODF Alliance's annual report as proof that ODF will eventually beat OOXML. Governments around the world are currently setting interoperability guidelines for the technology used in their agencies, and are standardizing file formats a part of that decision.
