Linux Foundation's first commandment: respect Microsoft 2 hours, 14 minutes ago

On April 1 this year, I wrote a spoof headlined "Ballmer joins Linux Foundation board." Considering the statements that were reported last week as emanating from the executive director of the same foundation, Jim Zemlin, I wonder if my tale will still be considered a spoof after a few years.

Open-Source ATI Driver Gets TV-Out 3 hours, 14 minutes ago

Thanks to recent commits in the RandR 1.2 branch for the open-source X.Org Radeon driver, it's now possible to use S-Video and composite TV output on your ATI graphics card without any patches. This is not limited to the R200 series but will also work with the R300 series and theoretically any graphics card supported by the xf86-video-ati driver. In this guide have outlined the instructions for enabling TV output support from the Radeon driver git code as well as some of the current limitations.
Vista Paranoia Running Deep 3 hours, 44 minutes ago

Whether or not this is a reality is actually beside the point. What I think is interesting is how people are putting much of their concern into Vista and less into Google. Both companies maintain different behaviors that, at the end of the day, provide questionable levels of privacy.

SanDisk Cruzer Contour Drive Review 4 hours, 44 minutes ago

To keep up with the rest of the industry, SanDisk has added another flash drive to its existing portfolio, the Cruzer Contour. It's an interesting new drive, to say the least, with an updated design and better performance. The design is perhaps one of the most intuitive ones we have seen in a while. Essentially, it's based around the slider design with a slight twist.
DreamLinux Live CD Review 5 hours, 14 minutes ago

Right away, as the hype and hot air came oozing off this distro, I could not believe my eyes. On a machine that I have run no less than 13 distributions on, for the first time, I'm looking at what appears to be 640x400 resolution. This is inexcusable, considering no other distro has ever had this problem before.

Mainframe Linux at SHARE

By Nathan Willis on August 15, 2007 (8:00:00 PM)

San Diego -- IBM's customer training and support group SHARE is holding a week-long seminar and conference at the Manchester Grand Hyatt here this week. SHARE dates back to 1955, and the folks gathered in San Diego include programmers, sysadmins, and IT directors who have spent decades running mainframe systems for the world's largest companies and governments. Most of the classes and labs focus on "big iron" products like the mainframe operating system MVS and the CICS transaction server, but Linux is getting strong promotion as well. IBM champions Linux for its zSeries mainframes as the industrial-strength virtualization platform, and judging by the turnout at the Linux and VM program sessions, interest is high.

Hardening your systems with Bastille Linux

By Peter Enseleit on August 15, 2007 (4:00:00 PM)

System administrators need to secure their systems while avoiding locking them down so strictly that they become useless. Bastille is a software tool that eases the process of hardening a Linux system, giving you the choice of what to lock down and what not to, depending on your security requirements. It bundles many of the tasks routinely done to securely configure a Linux system into one package.

How to set up Apache virtual hosting

By James Lees on August 15, 2007 (9:00:00 AM)

Managing one site on a Web server can be tough enough, and the job is even harder if you have to host multiple client sites on a badly configured setup. If you're running Apache, you can make things easier by setting up virtual hosts, which let you control multiple domains on one IP address, allowing you to specify URLs like https://clientsdomain.com/file_name.html instead of https://yoursite.com/hosted/clients_directory/file_name.html, and letting you forgo setting up domain forwarding with a /srv/www/htdocs/hosted/clients_directory file.

Peer-to-Patent pilot steers toward change

By Mayank Sharma on August 14, 2007 (9:00:00 PM)

On June 15, the New York Law School's Institute for Information Law and Policy, in cooperation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), launched the Peer-to-Patent community patent review pilot program. While some sections of the free and open source community show little interest in the program, program leader Beth Noveck of the NYLS is upbeat, thanks to the interest shown by federal agencies including the Department of Commerce and software companies like Red Hat and Microsoft, and the prospect of replicating the program in other countries.

Is my hardware Linux-compatible? Find out here

By Bruce Byfield on August 14, 2007 (9:00:00 AM)

Deciding whether a particular computer is a good candidate for installing GNU/Linux can involve a nightmare of details about hardware compatibility. Nor is assembling a custom computer on which to run GNU/Linux any easier. In both cases, you need to evaluate video cards, sound cards, printers, scanners, digital camera, wireless cards, and mobile devices for compatibility with the operating system. Fortunately, help is available.

Linus explains why open source works

By Bruce Byfield on August 10, 2007 (9:00:00 PM)

Linus Torvalds is often described as an open source champion, interested in licensing only insofar as it affects his ability to share code and improve software more quickly. However, his real position is more complicated -- and to some, perhaps surprising.

gelato: Tasty tumblelog software

By Dmitri Popov on August 10, 2007 (9:00:00 AM)

You may be forgiven for thinking that a tumblelog is just a blog for lazybones. While there are a lot of similarities between these two kinds of content management systems, a tumblelog is more like an online basket, which you can use to collect your thoughts and discoveries and share them with others. Unlike with blogs, tumblelog readers don't expect you to provide any commentary in the published items, so you don't actually have to "blog about" the stuff that you publish. The idea is that the post item itself implicitly expresses your opinion on it, or, to put it in a slightly different way, you let the item speak for itself.

FOSS and the philosophers

The Golden Penguin Bowl at LinuxWorld (underground video)

By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller on August 09, 2007 (5:15:00 PM)

San Francisco (Humor) -- The Golden Penguin Bowl is a perennial LinuxWorld event frequented by inner-circle types and shunned by the humorless. The format is simple: two teams, the Geeks and the Nerds, answer a series of not-serious technical and movie/TV trivia questions and possibly engage in other feats of derring-do, such as a robot face-off. One team wins, the other team loses. The fans rarely riot, but you never know.

Watch online video? Get Miro

First it was called DTV, then Democracy Player, and now it is Miro. Whatever you call it, the Mozilla-based, cross-platform, open source video player is now in public release. Miro differs from playback front ends like VLC by offering integrated content-finding and content-management tools. If you think that's a meaningless distinction, think again.

MySQL ends distribution of Enterprise source tarballs

By Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier on August 09, 2007 (1:00:00 AM)

MySQL quietly let slip that it would no longer be distributing the MySQL Enterprise Server source as a tarball, not quite a year after the company announced a split between its paid and free versions. While the Enterprise Server code is still under the GNU General Public License (GPL), MySQL is making it harder for non-customers to access the source code.
