  1. Microsoft uses monopoly power again

    Microsoft · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the doj-don't-impress-me! dept. · 0 comments
    Microsoft has a new campaign: Force your clients to use Internet Explorer and you'll get a free copy of Windows NT server. Why would anyone do that if they can get a free copy of Linux server/firewall/workstation/...? Maybe because if it's already free it doesn't seem like an opportunity not to be missed?

    Can it be? Another kernel is available at the Usual Places. Its a 264k patch so I'm sure lots of neat stuff has been fixed, and lots of equally neat stuff has been broken *grin*. Anyone have word on a feature freeze for 2.2? Thanks to Dave Wiedenheft who sent this in first.

    Linux · Linux · · posted by justin++ · from the leg-support-comes-in-the-next-kernel dept. · 0 comments
    Linus has released kernel 2.1.80. But this isn't just any ordinary kernel- for the first time in a Linux kernel, the ARM architecture is supported. Newton Linux might not be too far off if a dedicated programmer has some motivation.

    I sure hope you know where to get it by now.
