gatha wrote to us about Galeon, how it actually works and some of its feature set. I've been playing with Galeon now and again - but I've still found that except for a small issue with handling preformatted text, Konqueror has taken over as my web browser of choice.

Konstantin Klyagin points to this article on FreeOS.com on the current state of Klyagin's Motor IDE. While he says it "can easily be considered a status report," this is certainly more comprehensive and readable than the context-free bulleted lists which seem to accompany many software releases, and gives a good overview of Motor. Any users care to comment on Motor's useability compared to other IDEs?

We managed to get an interview with him. Excerpts follow. Interview here on FreeOS.com" Konold (along with Matthias Ettrich) began the KDE project several years ago, and in this too-short interview he touches on the project's origins as well as improvements bound for the stable release, like network transparent sound and anti-aliased fonts. (And a lot more apps -- soon.)

bfree asks: "Robert LeBlanc, Vice President, Software Strategy, Software Solutions Division says both that IBM would open source any part of AIX and that we would be better off taking bits and pieces and the expertise that IBM bring along with it. IBM's AIX Web site lauds Linux compatibility of AIX and the new AIXL only just slightly behind their statements such as 'A robust, scalable UNIX platform for critical applications.' It's clear IBM wants to be involved with Linux, and I feel that we should want that also. What should we ask them to do for us in return for their involvement? Networking scalability and redundancy, optimization and facilities for database systems (as the jfs has started) or systems management applications? It seems to me we have the offer on the plate from IBM to create a new joined project to bring Linux up another level if we can find a way from AIX. Surely we must take them up on this?"

Mayank points to this interview at FreeOS.com with Red Hat CTO Michael Tiemann, in which Tiemann discusses why the Hat shipped a development kernel with their 7.0 distribution, journaling filesystems, the openness of ecos, and the competition (no, not that competition). It's a good read, though it would be cool to see the same questions addressed at even greater length. Guess everyone has a time limit, though;) [Updated by timothy:] I flubbed, that should read "development snapshot of gcc," of course, not "development kernel." Stop hitting me.
