O'Reilly Network: Advanced makefiles
(Feb 15, 2002, 12:49)
"In this article, we analyze a fairly complicated makefile. This
makefile was captured from actual use in the wild, and sections
specific to that project have been removed for this article. ...
Sysadmins, make can be useful to you, too! As we step through the
makefile, think about how the techniques here can be applied to
rebuilding a configuration script, or an installation script, or as
an auto-updating tool."

Dr. Dobb's: Embedded Development with Qt/Embedded
(Feb 15, 2002, 11:20)
"What sets Qt/Embedded apart from other embedded toolkits is
that it was not specifically developed for embedded devices.
Instead, Qt/Embedded is a port of the Qt toolkit for UNIX/X11,
Windows, and MacOS X. Consequently, you can leverage your
experience in developing desktop applications when approaching
embedded application development. You don't have to learn a new
API, nor do you have to pick up new programming techniques."

ITWales.com: The ITW Interview: Alan Cox, Kernel Hacker, Linux
(Feb 15, 2002, 00:52)
"The fact that there are multiple suppliers of the operating
system gives a great deal of comfort to companies using it. In
addition the license ensures that they can always get a custom
change made for their own use, even if the main distributors are
not interested. In the open source world one example of this was
Y2K. When packages had Y2K problems and were no longer maintained
by their authors, anyone or any group of users could fix or pay for
fixing work. There was no 'enforced upgrade' risk."
