Debian on Steroids II: The Libranet Workout

By Staff Staff | Posted at 4:09 PM

Libranet is a commercial Debian distribution. If you hold the belief that Debian Linux is genuine only if it doesn't cost anything, then read no further. Commercial Debian distributions do, indeed, exist. Some, such as Storm, Progeny and Corel Linux, have come and gone, whether for good reasons or bad, but Libranet and Xandros (as well as the Xandros derivative Lindows) are still around. How long they exist depends, of course, on whether Linux users feel such distributions are worth paying for.

Excuse Me, Mr. McBride...

By Staff Staff | Posted at 3:10 PM

There is a line from the movie Star Trek V, The Final Frontier that I think is very parallel to the situation between SCO, IBM, and the development of the Linux kernel. In an otherwise medicore movie, there's this one scene where Capt. Kirk cuts to the heart of all of the philosophical debate about this being called God the officers of the Enterprise have just met.

It's Official: SCO Declares IP Jihad on Linux

By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 6:53 PM

Well, it seems to be official. After more rumblings, denials of rumblings, rumblings about the denials of rumblings, SCO is now playing hardball (or is that harderball?). The beleagured Linux company formerly known as Caldera is now claiming that some UNIX code is hidden in the Linux kernel, but will not release the information Free Software developers need to try to fix the problem. Instead, SCO CEO Darl McBride refuses to release that information out of fear the community would “launder the evidence.”

SCO: Unix code copied into Linux

By Staff Staff | Posted at 6:00 PM

Lines from Unix's source code have been copied into the heart of Linux, sometimes exactly and sometimes in a modified form designed to disguise their origin, SCO Group Chief Executive Darl McBride said Thursday. McBride's accusation cuts to the heart of the open-source movement's legal and philosophical underpinnings.

ATI To Support XFree86 4.3 Soon

By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 3:20 PM

Over the last year, ATI has shocked observers by not only taking the video card performance crown from nVidia, but also keeping it. This trend appears bound to continue for the foreseeable future with the recently released Radeon 9800 that has taken much of the spotlight away from nVidia's card intended to surpass the 9700.

Acronis PartitionExpert: Your Very Own Partition Techie

By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 12:49 AM

A few months ago I had a few minutes of free time on my hands and so I made a stop at Best Buy to browse for some networking equipment. As I walked toward the hardware section, a software package caught my eye that I hadn't heard of before: “Acronis PartitionExpert.” Realizing the need for a good partitioning tool in many environments that use GNU/Linux, I made a mental note to contact Acronis when I got back to the office.
