The software is designed to be easily added to by developers from anywhere. In addition to the fact that Linux software is adaptable, efficient and unencumbered by the multiple lines of computer code characteristic of the better known Microsoft programs, it is also free.

"People who write viruses won't write in Linux because it's not a challenge - it's too easy," he said.
I assembled 4 computers with a help of my trusted friend. I installed Ubuntu in it. This roughly cost me around $2500 (Rs 1 lakh plus). Then the other expenses cost me the other half ($2500). I was lucky that my garage did turn out to be a excellent place for my new business. Without free software this task would have been impossible.
All who learn computers in my garage really do like GNU/Linux. I haven’t heard a single complaint from them that its tough and not Windowish. Unlike windows, programs are arranged neatly in menus like Accessories, Internet etc. I find students learn very easily.
DreamWorks Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks are integrating Autodesk Mudbox, a digital sculpting and texture painting application, into their Linux production pipelines.

Penguin Computing, experts in high performance computing solutions, today announced that it has added two new systems – the powerful Niveus 4200 personal supercomputer and the innovative “green” server Relion 700 -- to its expanding line-up of high performance Linux platforms. The Niveus 4200 represents the new top model of Penguin’s personal supercomputing and technical workstation line, while the Relion 700 is an energy efficient rackmountable server for large server farm and cloud deployments.
Netgear’s latest WNR3500L wireless-N router supports Linux-based firmware such as DD-WRT, OpenWRT and Tomato which already have a pool of software created by open-source developers.
Sources at Canonical tell me that Canonical's Ubuntu developers have been working with Google's Chrome team since before Google announced its netbook operating system plan in July 2009. The company decided to go public with its involvement after Google announced today that they were open-sourcing the Chrome operating system.
Congratulations to Google on the open sourcing of Google Chrome OS
When Chrome OS was announced in June we saw this as a positive development, bringing choice to the consumer. We considered how open source development is as much about co-operation as it is about competition. Google have made it clear that they are keen to develop Chrome OS openly and we have had the pleasure of hosting a number of the Google team at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Dallas over the last few days where we have been able to see that openness in action.
Back in July 2009, my initial blog entry about Google Chrome OS suggested that Google may wind up stealing Ubuntu’s thunder in selected market niches. Fellow WorksWithU Blogger Christopher Tozzi took the opposite stance, insisting that Google Chrome OS will help Ubuntu. But by August, I had changed my stance a bit telling readers that Google was both a rival and a friend to Ubuntu. I stand by that statement.
Google has unveiled its Chrome OS. In a webcast launch at the company's California headquarters on Thursday, Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, said the Linux-based operating system was fully open, ran applications only in its browser and stored all data in the cloud.

Try not to be too hard on him though. His “teacher” (IMO) Bill Gates said in the 90’s:The Internet? We are not interested in itand another alleged comment that Bill Gates made (which may ring some bells with Windows users)If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.
Allows users to display desktops and applications running on remote Unix and Linux servers
If you’re running Linux, there’s a good chance your distro of choice uses Grub as the default bootloader. Grub has served well for many years, but it’s beginning to show its age. As with all software, it doesn’t take long before the latest-and-greatest becomes old-and-haggard. Features have been piling up in Grub without much thought going into revamping the core program. Eventually, this lead to a messy patchwork that no one really wanted to maintain. At this point, Grub2 was born. It’s a complete rewrite from the ground up using a completely redesigned structure. This new Grub gives us powerful features like conditional statements (if/then, etc), intelligent upgrades, and some greatly improved graphics.
Today the Envizions Computer Entertainment Corporation announced it will be broadcasting its first annual live coverage of the official EVO open source game console, called EVO, on Nov. 20, 2009. The broadcast will be streamed on the company Web site at EnvizionsCorp.com (http://www.envizionscorp.com), at Facebook and at Ustream.
Microsoft opposes modding because it claims that the modding community is promoting piracy. It also opposes the installation of third-party operating systems (such as Linux) on the Xbox 360, a popular mod.
Guild Software, the developers of Vendetta Online, has released a HD trailer to celebrate the Linux-native massive multiplayer space combat game’s five years of operation.
Version 2.5.0.5 of the DOOM source port PrBoom+ was released last week...

I'm happy to announce a new version of the Bluewhite64 Linux 13.0 LiveDVD is ready for download. This new version brings the possibility to boot the DVD in KDE (4.3.2), Xfce (4.6.1) or to the command line interface from the beginning.
Parted Magic 4.6 is a mostly a bug fix release with some usability improvements.
Several security updates, updated libs and beginnnings of internationalizing the custom scripts and apps that are part of Absolute (thanks to GALPon MiniNo Developers Team.) In addition a new utility to change language/keymap from a GUI utility.
Avidemux now in base install, epdfview replaces xpdf, AbiWord now comes with collaboration plugin with proper support to create online accounts.
The Cooperative Bug Isolation Project (CBI) is now available for Fedora 12. CBI (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/) is an ongoing research effort to find and fix bugs in the real world. We distribute specially modified versions of popular open source software packages.
So, of the four "major" distributions over the past month (Ubuntu 9.10, Mandriva 2010, openSuSE 11.2 and Fedora 12), the only one that didn't crash, hang or otherwise misbehave on at least one of my laptop/netbook/nettop systems was Fedora.
Of course, there is plenty more fun to come yet. New releases of Linux Mint and SimplyMEPIS are already on the horizon, and I don't think it will be long before there is another PCLinuxOS release, too. The fun never stops in the Linux world!
This is just a taste of what Fedora 12 is brining to the Linux table. There is a veritable plethora of new features available with Fedora 12. For a complete list, take a look at this Wiki page for an all encompassing look at the feature list.
Now that Fedora 12 Constantine is available, we will tell you how to create a Live USB boot disk so that you can install Fedora 12 on your computer without wasting a CD (read: burning the iso on to the CD). You can use this USB boot disk both as a Live Fedora 12 system and also to install Fedora 12 on your computer.
The twelfth version of Fedora is equipped with a current and comprehensive selection of software packages that offer a whole range of technological advancements. Several of the new features, which include extended hardware support for kernel-based mode setting (KMS), 3D support for recent Radeon graphics cards, and the emerging KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging), are also likely to turn up in other Linux distributions in the near future.
Not a lot of people seem aware of this. This is from the announce list.
As everybody knows ubuntu 10.04LTS Lycid is planned for the month of 29 april 2010, the developers actually are working on softwares that will be included by default in the future ubuntu10.04 Lucid , one of the news is that a backup tool will be included by default to the next release.
What would the process of moving towards more streamlined look like? First, there would be no more mass import from Debian Unstable. Ubuntu would be responsible for the basic application and drivers necessary to run the various projects. MOTUs should be encouraged to move as quickly as possible to PPAs. AptURL should have the prohibition on PPAs removed for Launchpad.net. Finally, the Software Center needs to be reworked into a front-end for Launchpad PPAs. Backports will be responsible only for core applications (and likely only for LTS releases).
Cavium announced a new line of Nitrox network security adapters that ship with a Linux SDK. The Nitrox XL CN16XX-NFBE family offers a FIPS 140-2-certified hardware security nodule (HSM) with PCI Express Gen2 connectivity and integrated Network Interface Card (NIC) functionality, says Cavium.
The talk of the town is Android. Nobody is talking about Symbian anymore. Symbian, of course, still holds majority (50 percent of global sales) of the mobile market share, but its slowly declining. Maybe that’s why Nokia, Symbian’s primary contributor, is trying to fight back - by dropping the mobile OS from its high-end phones.
You only have to read a few reviews of the Nokia N900 to realise that it is a resounding success – people like the functionality, the open source nature of its OS, the memory, the possibilities for development, and the little features on it. Techradar disagreed with Nokia on one thing: they don’t believe that the Nokia N900 is a computer. Instead, they said, “it’s a smartphone and a very good one at that.” In addition, they were also impressed with the overall performance of the OS.
Similarly, T3 were highly impressed with the overall functionality of the Nokia N900, saying it was “better than any Nokia handset we’ve seen in along time.”
They added: “In terms of browsing and sheer multitasking capability, it’s also superior to other smartphone rivals.”
Maemo is an open source platform based on Debian GNU/Linux. It draws most of its GUI (graphical user interface), frameworks and libraries from the GNOME project. Maemo uses the Matchbox window manager and the GTK-based Hildon as its GUI and application framework.
While Symbian still rules in Europe and Japan, the US smartphone market is increasingly crazy for Linux, and this is likely to prompt Nokia - hopeful of ending its woeful run of poor performance in north America in 2010 - to give its Linux-based Maemo platform a bigger role in its strategy from next year. However, persistent speculation that Nokia is making an either/or decision and will actually back away from Symbian remains several leaps too far, and the firm came out with an official denial that it had any plans to demote Symbian from its position as lead smartphone OS.
The smartphone is one of the first Ophones in the world, a brand promoted by China Mobile to make sure consumers know it uses the Linux-based Open Mobile System (OMS) developed by the company. OMS is very similar to Android, the reason Dell will release the handset elsewhere with Google's popular mobile phone OS inside.
Mobile device maker HTC has announced two new touchscreen smartphones – the Tattoo and the Hero – both of which run the Linux-based Android operating system.
fring is now available to Android users, allowing them to make free VoIP calls.
For Sony Ericsson, Google’s Android operating system holds much promise within the context of our multi-platform strategy.
Our commitment to the Open Handset Alliance stems from a vision of the Google Android OS as an environment that enables developers to create rich user experiences with some of latest technologies available on the Internet. The Xperia X10 is the first of a family of products, some of which will use this technology.
It's engineering goals call for a (Linux) OS and hardware-agnostic platform, with transparent, free and readily accessible and modifiable code that can be also easily shared among users. The normal user has absolute control over the Sugar part but the core system remains secure from malicious activities.
In a couple of hours, Google is going to share more details about its upcoming operating system Chrome OS at an event in Mountain View that will most likely be covered from start to finish by TechCrunch writers (and then some) as well as a slew of other media outlets. Jolicloud, that other OS for netbooks that is completely built for people who live and work on the Web from the ground up, has in the meantime been running fine on my own netbook for the past couple of months.
Two data storage vendors are out with new products this week that they claim can save users a bundle over more traditional storage systems.
Nexenta and ParaScale both use open source software and commodity hardware to lower storage costs for enterprises.
It worked for software, so why not science? The open source science movement has been gaining momentum, and it's shaping the future of scientific research and discovery. Everyone -- scientists, the general public, and even taxpayers -- stands to benefit from a new scientific model, says John Wilbanks, vice president of Science Commons.
Playing well and seeking excellence is a goal in itself. Free software developers have every right to pat themselves on the back for doing that — the existing free-licensed open source software production infrastructure is one of the most collaborative and constructive systems ever created in history.
Curriki, the innovative award-winning project of the first World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), is keen on partnering with Qatar. Dr Barbara Bobbi Kurshan, Executive Director of Curriki told The Peninsula yesterday that they were working on the possibility of implementing the project in the country.
WaveMaker today announced general availability of the first open source cloud development platform. WaveMaker 6.0 is available under the Apache open source license, providing organizations with the features and benefits found in proprietary cloud development platforms - such as Force.com and Azure - at a fraction of the cost.
Kaltura’s platform has been integrated by more than 38,000 publishers to date, with hundreds joining every week. JW Player is used by over one million sites and streams billions of videos every month.
As of 2010, education and training centres in Vietnam will have to use open-source software to cut cost and avoid software copyright infringement, according to a draft circular from the Education and Training Ministry (MoET).
We've been hoping for a while that Sony would replace the PS3's mediocre built-in Web browser with something more robust, so it's nice to hear that Sony might be in talks with Mozilla to port Firefox over to the PS3--even if it's just a rumor.
When Mozilla develop Raindrop and make installation a no brainer and/or it is adopted into the Debian and Ubuntu repositories it may gain traction and popularity — and in the process will, albeit unintentionally, leverage a more aggregated, semantic desktop.
Today we are posting our audited financial statements and tax form for 2008. We have also posted our FAQ. As in past years, I’ll use this event as an opportunity to review both our financial status and our overall effectiveness in moving the mission forward.
The Commission has yet to give its official approval to the acquisition - a delay that Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said is costing Sun $100m every month it waits for a decision on the deal.
And while he warned that "time is of the essence" for success with such high tech deals, the former MySQL boss believes the proposed acquisition could be a boon to the open source movement.
There’s a large body of technical information out there about content management systems and frameworks, but not much written specifically for decision-makers. Programmers will always have preferences, but it’s the product managers and supervisors of the world who often make the final decision about what platform on which to deploy a sophisticated site. That’s tricky, because web platform decisions are more-or-less final — it’s very, very hard to change out the platform once the wheels are in motion. Meanwhile, the decision will ultimately be based on highly technical factors, while managers are often not highly technical people.
The relationship between open source communities and vendors keeps being a topic of debate these days. Simon Phipps at the South Tyrol Free Software Conference gave a talk about his “software freedom scorecard“, a method to indicate the approach vendors take to promote software freedom as part of their business strategies.
This is being a busy month for GRUB. Quick catch-up of GRUB news:
* We moved to GNU Bazaar as revision control system. * Pushed out a 1.97.1 bugfix release (whoops)
* A new GNU extension has been added to gcc to support "Named Address Spaces". This feature is defined in the N1275 draft of the ISO/IEC DTR 18037 technical report[1]. Essentially it allows variables to be declared as being some special, target specific, method of access. Eg via a runtime library or special machine instructions.
The ministers will sign a declaration which sets out the goals for Europe-wide IT issues for the next five years.
"The declaration, which has been negotiated by the Cabinet Office, includes commitments to putting open-source solutions on an equal footing when it comes to awarding government contracts, and to making non-personal government data publicly available for re-use," said the Cabinet Office.
That thought gave birth to Linux. We also can inspire ourselves by looking at Wikipedia, or for that matter with ThinkCycle, a company that develops collaborative industrial design. Today we have open source aeroplane design, cola recipes, film scripts and even beer!
You don’t need to buy many things either, since many of the kits and gadgets are “open source” — you can buy the parts, etch a circuit board, “breadboard” it or in some cases just build parts of them with what you may have at home by cannibalising a junk drawer of fail-gadgets.
Bug Labs is the maker of The Bug, a modular open source system for building devices. With different modules you can add GPS, motion detection or sound to your gadget. They are always releasing new modules to help build the widget you’ve always needed.
Rockwell Automation announced that it is supporting the release of a free, open-source EtherNet/IP software stack for I/O adapter devices developed by the Vienna University of Technology.
Since its launch, the Open Platform has spawned a variety of interesting data visualizations. Works like Jer Thorpe's word trend clock charts provide compelling examples of how rich patterns of information can be presented graphically. However, few of these pieces choose to open up our data to user interaction. Given the Flash platform is such a popular medium for creating interactive web content and the variety of free, open source tools available, we decided we ought to provide an AS3 library for our API.
An IBM Research-led cognitive computing team announced it achieved advances in large-scale cortical simulation and a new algorithm that synthesizes neurological data.
Fluendo is an established leading provider of multimedia plug-ins for the GNU/Linux Market, and has succeeded in offering legal end-to-end solutions working with multiple formats and platforms.
Where affluent Lithuanians once rode show horses and sipped coffee at a café, the CIA installed a concrete structure where it could use harsh tactics to interrogate up to eight suspected al-Qaeda terrorists at a time.
"The activities in that prison were illegal," said human rights researcher John Sifton. "They included various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions."
The only soldier convicted over the death of Iraqi hotel worker Baha Mousa today described widespread abuse of prisoners by British troops - including an officer.
Autumn sez, "DJs at local underground parties have been losing their laptops to police raids - even when they're not DJing. They're being told that they'll lose their laptops - and often their livelihood - for an indefinite period of time, with no information on when or how to get their property back. The EFF has taken on the defense of several local DJs, but this is having a huge effect already on the local dance scene."
A Maricopa County Sheriff's detention officer has been found in contempt of court for walking up to an attorney's desk in a Phoenix courtoom and removing a document from files sitting on the desk.
That’s right. The military wants to shoot off loads of flying, spying robots, using missiles to make for faster surveillance and attack. “ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) platforms delivered from missiles can potentially provide battlefield information that is only seconds old when transmitted from long ranges,” the Army explains in a request for research proposals. “This information is particularly valuable since it is so current. It provides the potential for striking a very mobile enemy before he has time to alter his position.”
The lemur, a furry primate that symbolises Madagascar's unique biodiversity, is under renewed threat from a "timber mafia" pillaging the island's forests for profit.
Global temperatures are on a path to rise by an average of 6C by the end of the century as CO2 emissions increase and the Earth's natural ability to absorb the gas declines, according to a major new study.
It is not expected to consider the source of the fuel needed for the new reactors. But R̦ssing is expanding its existing giant mine Рwhich already provides nearly 8% of the world's uranium Рinto the Namib-Naukluft national park. Areva has leased hundreds of square kilometres of the desert near Trekkopje, where it plans to build one of the world's largest uranium mines.
The US government executed an emergency bailout of troubled AIG without sufficient planning, botching its initial $85bn (€£50bn) effort to rescue the ailing business and further weakening the multinational insurer's financial position, according to a critical official report into last year's near collapse of the company.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) could have suffered dramatic losses if the federal government had not intervened to prop up American International Group Inc (AIG.N), according to a government report.
In total, Goldman had $22.1 billion in credit default swaps contracts with AIG.
For more than a year, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has maintained that it wouldn't have suffered material losses had the government allowed one of its major trading partners, American International Group Inc., to collapse.
A government report throws cold water on that claim.
Want some more advice Tim? Better to go quietly. If you attempt to take down some of your former friends with you, it could end up very badly for you. Yeah, watch your back and go quietly. That's always good advice to someone who is involved up to his neck in a criminal conspiracy that is about to be publicly exposed.
1. The AIG bailout was a covert bailout of Goldman and we want our money back. Every dime of it. Goldman had been placing a bunch of bets against real estate derivatives at a casino called AIG. Goldman started to realize that AIG didn’t have enough money to pay all the bets they’d taken, so sucked some $6 billion out of AIG in the weeks before AIG went belly up (a cash drain which indeed helped caused AIG to go belly up). But Goldman still had $13 billion in profitable bets that they’d placed at the AIG casino and without the cash they were due from those bets, Goldman would be insolvent and be forced into bankruptcy.
Goldman has faced public ridicule for setting aside nearly $17 billion for year-end bonuses after receiving a $10 billion taxpayer bailout. The bank has paid back the government money.
CEO Lloyd Blankfein has made yet another cursory PR gesture - a tiny fund for small businesses - designed to divert attention from $17bn in bonuses he's paying to the bankers who helped drive the economy, Zeppelin-like, into the ground.
It's barely a fifth of the $2.3 billion the company has saved thanks to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantee to help banks raise money, according to a Wall Street Journal estimate. Goldman Sachs had $22.6 billion in outstanding debt issued through this program as of Sept. 30, according to its most recent regulatory filing.
In Tuesday's announcement, Goldman Sachs said it has pledged to the small business project just over 3% -- $500 million -- of what it hopes to pay its bankers and traders in bonuses this year.
For some perspective, Goldman has already set aside $17 billion for bonuses this year, which could climb to $23 billion by year’s end.
When John D. Rockefeller was feared and famous as the master monopolist of American industry, he used to hand out shiny new dimes to the urchins gathered around him on the street. Most Americans were not charmed by this philanthropic gesture. Rockefeller became a living symbol of miserly indifference. Nor will Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, win much public affection for his charitable capitalism.
Yesterday we learn the answer is most likely choice # 2. It appears that Lloyd Blankfein would like forgiveness for the aggressive posture it took with Uncle Sam in the process of settling its exposure with AIG. Recall that Blankfein has repeatedly asserted that whether AIG went down or not was not meaningful to Goldman Sachs because Goldman had secured collateral from AIG to cover its exposure.
Answer the questions: What activities? How were they wrong? Why are you regretful? How much did you make from these wrong activities?
The fact that you have the chutzpah to think you can issue a blanket, unspecified apology in an attempt to curry favor with the American public is the height of hubris and rings very shallow. I would go so far as to say your apology is mere words and talk. Talk is cheap.
More than a million children regularly go to bed hungry in the US, according to a government report that shows a startling increase in the number of families struggling to put food on the table.
In the official record of the historic House debate on overhauling health care, the speeches of many lawmakers echo with similarities. Often, that was no accident.
Statements by more than a dozen lawmakers were ghostwritten, in whole or in part, by Washington lobbyists working for Genentech, one of the world’s largest biotechnology companies.
But what is rather stunning about the NY Times story on how Genentech's talking points were mentioned (with multiple Congressional reps using the exact same language) is how unconcerned everyone is about it. The lobbyists wrote up talking points for both sides of the aisle. It wasn't about being in support or against the current healthcare bill, but just to get these Congressional Reps "on the record" in supporting key concepts, so that those same lobbyists can go back and point to such "bipartisan" support in the future, even if the Congressional reps themselves don't even know what they're talking about.
Senator Charles E. Grassley wrote to 10 top medical schools Tuesday to ask what they are doing about professors who put their names on ghostwritten articles in medical journals — and why that practice was any different from plagiarism by students.
Staff at mobile phone company T-Mobile passed on millions of records from thousands of customers to third party brokers, the firm has confirmed.
The government is planning to award itself powers to change copyright law almost at will, in expectation that new anti-peer-to-peer laws will drive infringement to other services such as Rapidshare and newsgroups.
The measure, which is the most severe contained in the Digital Economy Bill published today, will be interpreted as a major victory for rights holder organisations. It will grant the Business Secretary Lord Mandelson and his successors undprecedented control over civil enforcement of copyright.
Lord Mandelson is seeking to amend the laws on copyright to give the government sweeping new powers against people accused of illegal downloading.
Ministers have revealed new legislation that will allow the government to take over and reform Nominet, following a boardroom battle over the .uk registry's future.
The reserve powers are included in the Digital Economy Bill, published today by Lord Mandelson's Department for Business.
Today marks the end of an era, as The Pirate Bay team announces that the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker is shutting down for good. Although the site will remain operational for now, millions of BitTorrent users will lose the use of its tracker and will instead have to rely on DHT and alternative trackers to continue downloading.
Someone once told me that Viacom's top lawyer, Michael Fricklas, has been known to read Techdirt on occasion. I have no idea if this is true, but it still is interesting to watch him give a lecture to some Yale law students where he offers a somewhat nuanced position on copyright issues (thanks to JJ for being the first of many to forward the video to us), but which repeatedly seems to leave out certain pertinent facts:
Opinion: The cable industry's wants the ability to control analog outputs on your TV, in order to offer "high-value" content sooner. But television isn't just one more gadget; it's part our national public network, and selectable output control poses an eventual threat to this important resource. Ars responds to the NCTA's editorial.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's international policy crimefighting duo, Eddan Katz and Gwen Hinze, have published a scholarly article analyzing the secret Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in light of US law and policy. Called "The Impact of ACTA on the Knowledge Economy," it was recently published in the Yale Journal of International Law, and constitutes a fantastic, reference-heavy resource for understanding just how creepy it is that the Obama administration is sneaking around behind Congress's back (not to mention the backs of the American public) to create a privacy-invading, internet-breaking trade agreement that the US will be bound to bring into its law.
Suing Napster made Napster into the service to use. Ditto with Kazaa and Grokster. The Pirate Bay wasn't that big until Hollywood got Swedish authorities to raid the operations and confiscate the servers.
Chip giant Intel has a bit of a reputation for being a trademark bully at times, threatening or suing many companies just for having "intel" in their name somewhere -- including a travel agency and a jeans company. Now, before anyone brings it up, yes, as a trademark holder the law requires you to enforce your trademark against infringement, lest it become considered "generic" (such as xerox machines, kleenex tissues, aspirin and other brand names that became generic).
