Infrastructure Linux News for Jan 12, 2009:
The Coded Camel - Cool Linux And Unix Perl Art
(2009-01-12 02:05:33) The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "This, in and of itself, was pretty cool. But, just for yucks, I threw it into a script, fired it up and (what do you know?) it spit out the name of the guy whom I can only presume is the author"
Quotes From Larry Wall: Unix And Linux Perl Humor
(2009-01-12 11:35:33) Linux and Unix Menagerie: "On that note, I hope you enjoy these (supposedly accurate) quotes from Larry Wall that I found at brainyQuote.com. You can check out the page, in its original context, at their Larry Wall page."
Fedora 11 release name
(2009-01-12 15:05:33) fedora-announce-list: "Election Results for Fedora 11 Release Name
Voting Period: 05 January 2009 08:00:00 UTC to 09 January 2009 23:59:59 UTC"
SCO: Garbage Time
(2009-01-12 15:17:33) Cyber Cynic: "It's garbage time now for SCO. Those of you who follow basketball know exactly what I mean. This is when the winning team, Linux, and its chief champions in the SCO lawsuits. Novell and IBM, can send in the reserves from the end of the bench. SCO's lawsuits are smashed to bits."
Palm with Linux at Las Vegas Show
(2009-01-12 15:35:33) Linux Magazine: "One of the highlights of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) just ending in Las Vegas is Palm's offering of its WebOS for mobile devices. A fitting name for its coming attraction in mid-2009 that uses this OS is the Palm Pre, to be offered exclusively through Sprint."
KDE 4.2 "The Answer" - My Experiences So Far
(2009-01-12 17:05:33) IT News Today: "KDE 4.2 is fast approaching, and will reach final form at the end of this month. The second beta is available now, with the release candidate due next week. I'm surely going to review it, but thought I would post my thoughts on this great desktop as it is at this point in its development phase."
Krsync - A Kommander based GUI frontend for rsync
(2009-01-12 18:05:33) SUSE & openSUSE: "Krsync is a simple GUI frontend for the famous rsync to synchronize files and directories between systems or even two different directories on the same server. Krsync is a Kommander based GUI for rsync."
Ubuntu in the NY Times!
(2009-01-12 18:35:33) Overdetermined: "Unfortunately, the author added a dash of FUD to the mixture of facts and quotes, resulting in a schizophremic presentation of Linux that does a disservice the reader. I am definitely disapointed by this article."
The Dark Art of Sound on Linux
(2009-01-12 19:05:33) Deciphering Glyph: "Let me be clear: every single layer in the Linux audio stack is broken: the ALSA kernel drivers, the ALSA library, the sound servers (Pulse, of course, but also ones that I don't cover here, like ESD, aRts, and Jack), and the applications which use all of these things."
Windows 7 as "Linux killer"? How times have changed!
(2009-01-12 20:05:33) Community, Incorporated: "Microsoft makes for an unlikely David, and Linux an even unlikelier Goliath -- but here we are. A few years ago, Linux was positioned as the "Windows killer." Now, as Microsoft is ramping up its efforts in the netbook market, Windows 7 is being positioned as the Linux killer. Interesting that Microsoft is being cast as an underdog here, albeit one with about 70% of the netbook market."
A Weekend With Arch
(2009-01-12 20:35:33) OStatic: "This weekend, I finally got a chance to take Arch for a spin. A basic installation isn't a huge time investment, and while it isn't quite as "under the hood" as Gentoo is, it's a clear canvas for those needing specific tasks and control on their system."
Artistic Representation of Linux Distributions
(2009-01-12 21:35:33) Tech Source From Bohol: "If you sometimes wish that your favorite Linux distro should have a mascot, then you may like what I'm about to show you. But before that, let me give you a short intro."
A triple-boot system with GRUB: Debian GNU/Linux "Lenny", FreeDOS 1.0, and Win
(2009-01-12 22:05:33) Free Software Magazine: "This last Christmas, I refurbished and installed computers for two of my children. As we still have a pile of old games in a drawer, I wanted to provide multi-boot systems. This was much easier and more satisfying than the last time I set up a Linux/Windows dual boot system (with LOADLIN.EXE, which I can't really recommend today)."
N-Trig bringing multi-touch technology to PCs
(2009-01-12 22:35:33) IT Wire: "Multi-touch technology, made famous by the Apple iPhone, is already available on PCs through HP's TouchSmart tx2 notebook, and will come to many more notebook, tablet and desktop PC screens throughout 2009, well in time for Windows 7 and Linux."

(2009-01-12 23:05:33) EeePC: "The gOS ("good OS") project released SP1 of gOS 3.1 Gadgets. The Linux based gOS is an excellent Operating System
for Netbooks & NetTops."
