Linux : Reviews : SUSE Linux 10 - a.k.a. Mercedes Linux
By Posted: ( Sun 27th Nov 2005 02:17:32[AM] UTC )
Oct 2005 completed my first year as a SUSE Linux user. I had started out with SUSE 9.2 warily. Having been through a myriad of Linux distros in the last 5-6 years, I had reached a conclusion that Linux was fine to fiddle around with at home, but not for the regular work at office. I could not spare time for geeky software and “terminals” were a dead end!

Linux : Articles : Know Linux
By Posted: ( Thu 29th Apr 2004 12:03:26[PM] UTC )
It’s free for download but you have to pay a tiny bit to mail order it or buy it from a company. If you’re getting Linux for more than 2-3 PCs, you can also get training and support at a small free, if you choose to have it. Else it’s the Linux community on the Net to your rescue.

Linux : Articles : If I could re-write Linux
By Posted: ( Sun 8th Feb 2004 01:14:20[PM] UTC )
If we were to re-write Linux, taking clues from various operating systems, what would we make sure it did? Our next-generation operating system (NGOS) would be completely modular in design, aimed at 64-bit hardware, and with an interface that would change the way people compute. It would support a large number of applications and hardware devices, accepting device drivers written for other operating system, and run applications written for other operating system under an emulation mode.

Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens respond to the SCO Group: Mr. McBride, in your "Open Letter to the Open Source Community" your offer to negotiate with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions, slanders, and misrepresentations. You must do better than this. We will not attempt to erect a compromise with you on a foundation of dishonesty.

Linux : Articles : For Kernel_Newbies By a Kernel_Newbie
By Posted: ( Thu 27th Jun 2002 11:33:36[AM] UTC )
Before I start off,I would like to confess that I am a complete Kernel_Newbie who has been hacking 2.4 Kernel Code for only 1 month,and hence some of the information might be inconsistent owing to the __inconsistent__ knowledge of the author. It is highly recommended to combine this Document with Tigrans 2.4 Kernel Internals (linuxdoc.org),as the left_overs can be traced to his document.
