It's for Red Hat, but works with Mandrake too.

Conspiracy theories on this topic over at newsforge.net
TuxReports has "the scoop" ;)

TuxReports is a site maintained by two girls and their dad. They seem genuine with using Linux. Sometimes that is more fun that just reading a bunch of links to news stories. I'm always looking for ORIGINAL content and not links!

Next time search for a good review that's thorough rather than linking to some half-baked MSNBC article.

The best review out there isn't exactly a top-secret either, as is apparent below.

I've been cringing all morning long while wondering whether anything I read is real or not. Seems like most of the fake news is pretty obvious this year although I was caught by the story about installing OS X on x86. Maybe we're suffering from the post-9/11, Columbine shootings, social imperative to play nice even if it's not very fun.

Three developers out of all of KDE's developers criticize the KDE dev process and it's newsworthy?

Now it's guaranteed to be picked up by other "news" sources and generate a bunch of useless controversy. Sometimes when I see what Newsforge (gag) puts out, I wonder if they have a secret agenda to discredit Open Source development. A quote from someone (Tina) at Newsforge about their policy of posting any and everything:

we assume that our readers are smart enough to separate the sheep from the goats

I've gotten this response from them before, and they don't seem to understand the difference between filtering crap and saying that they shouldn't post critical or negative commentary. Yes, by all means, run a negative story if it's important, but don't run crap -- positive or negative. Posting a diatribe by three KDE developers -- folks, that's crap.

In other words "don't look to us for news, because we don't do perform any kind of quality checking or the typical gatekeeper function you'd expect from real journalists. Someone submits it, we'll post it somewhere."

I'm not saying that it's wrong to report on genuine conflicts or negative stories when they're important, but this really doesn't qualify IMHO. When a site purports to be a news site, there should be some quality checking and filtering going on. Stories that are comprised of nothing more than a rant or stories that are obviously biased or outright false should not be picked up -- or at the very least have a disclaimer attached.

Microsoft must love the fact that Free and Open Source software development discussion takes place in the open where everyone can examine and dissect every personality conflict and internal bitchfest. It makes the Linux and Open Source community look like a bunch of fractious losers while no matter what Microsoft PR's department spews everyone marches in lock-step to it.

Karma whoring, here I come. Hopefully this server can withstand a mild slashdotting. Link
