So perhaps I am not too hip to the selected color for the Greenphone. Still, the ideas that this phone will allow for in the development world ought to be worthwhile I suspect.

Ever wanted to climb inside the head of the man behind the concept of Linux? Well this interview below offers you a real chance…
If open source were a religion, Linus Torvalds, the Finnish engineer who wrote the core of the operating system that would become Linux, would be its prophet.

While many people out there are likely to disagree what is considered successful, the fact remains that Linux had certainly been met with a pretty decent share of success over the years.

This is some pretty exciting stuff, folks. Seriously, considering what Scalix 11 is hoping to accomplish that is.

IBM is all about Linux these days. And to be honest, I don’t see this changing anytime in the near future, either.

One of the greatest strengths of the Linux operating system is the power of the command line. One of the greatest weaknesses of the Linux operating system is that it’s not easy to remember all the commands that can harness that power. Many reference books include a smattering of commands that will accomplish [...]

Not to be confused with DUN (Dial Up Networking), NUN (New Users Network) is hoping to uncomplicate any problems working with Ubuntu.

This could be potentially huge. The downside is the potential backlash from the Mplayer fans though.

Is Google really the Godfather of Open Source? There are those who believe that it may, in fact, be.

OK, so Xen’s not considered stable. Well, at least according to one Novell exec, Xen virtualization is just not there yet.

It’s interesting, it’s Movidis, and it looks like it may be a safe bet for the server market. It’s a different architecture, but perhaps there may be some interest in this?

Can marketing and engineering honestly relate on any sort of level? Apparently, in some cases it can.

To be frank, I think that for the most part, this is where most of the Linux mindset is right now. Enterprise adoption appears to be the name of the game.

Man, I hate to see this happen and you better believe that the Portable Linux Pact is going to leave some serious questions!

Novell is getting ready to rename one of our favorite distros? Why would they want to do this?

This would have to be one of the more objective looks at picking the right distro for the first time that I have seen in quite some while.

So this would not be considered your everyday sort of article. Regardless, it does present an interesting look at what Linux can do, even on Windows.

So Freespire is finally released, but is anyone really paying that much attention? With all the noise going on with SuSE 10 and Ubuntu, I tend to question this myself.

While sociology is generally not something that I associate with Firefox and Linux per se, I found this comment piece interesting nonetheless.

I think this is very cool and may even prove to be an educational experience for many! Hey, it may not convert them all over to Linux, but its a great start regardless.
