I will be honest here, I just have a hard time understanding the advantage of using a minimalist approach to writing. Still, the piece below does present an interesting argument for it.

I think that anything that empowers people to jump head first into the world of open source is a great thing in my opinion.

OK, 3D Xgl is very cool and all of that. But is this something that we really need on Ubuntu and other distros?

And so with real time Linux in embedded devices, we now have a device change to contend with.

So does Novell’s SLED have what it takes to turn the typical user? Depends on who you ask I suppose. Still, the results thus far are looking pretty good.

Proof once again that Sony loves the use of Linux whenever possible!

The concept of real time operating systems is hardly a new thing. But to hear about it coming to mainstream Linux distros does offer the promise of preemptive scheduling among other cool abilities.

Wow, it’s great to see that Red Hat has finally shown their real loyalty. It seems that they and Novell are simply not interested in taking on Windows. Instead, they appear content with working toward other ideals.

For those who prefer it, Symbian has a lot to offer. Still, I believe that in the long run, we will see Linux coming out a winner here.

Now this is inventive: hackable Juice Box media players! This is not your daddy’s juice box…

Hey, just so long as this model is better than that of the Nokia E70 never-ending beta crap-matic wonder, then I say go for it if you feel that Nokia’s stock prices are not an indicator of some coming trouble.

Here’s the latest feedback from my ActiveSync article….

Hey you. Yes you! Which Linux distro are you using? Mind you that I am not asking, rather the article below actually is…

I enjoyed the piece below a great deal. But the one thing that I found myself agreeing with a great deal - standardizing a package format.

You know, this actually presents a great question. And actually, the answer to the lack of Linux defragmenting may shock many of you…

This isn’t a reference to open source cutlery.
Linux forks, a term often applied to the varieties of Linux distributions, are poorly understood even in the Linux community. Are all the various distributions available on the internet true forks of the kernal? Kevin Morgan argues that they are not. Is his Enterprise OpenSource [...]

It will be interesting to be sure, as to just how each approach from Nokia and Moto take the end user.

A shining example of just how misunderstood open source really is: once again, open source does not mean free - it means the source code is open for all to view and alter. The piece below has confused open source with free software.

So where the heck is Red Hat this year? It’s true, Red Hat was a no show for LinuxWorld this year and the speculation is really beginning to fly!
