Linux versus XJust to cover various "Linux versus X" topics, here are some links, obtained by Googling, without RTFA:
- Linux Versus NT
- Linux versus FreeBSD
- Linux versus TwinView Nvidia GForce4 MX 4000 (ok, it's a bizarre one, but we are being thorough
- Linux versus MacOS X Server
- Linux Versus On Time RTOS-32 for Real-Time Embedded Systems
Ok, this was the first page.. I got bored copy'n'pasting afterward.

Why keep the spatial extention (and others) closedFrom you powerpoint presentation which accompanies this announcment I note that several components are not beeing contributed. Namely:
Visual DBA Suite
Spatial Object Library
B1 Security
OpenROAD
Enterprise Access
EDBC
Will these be freely available (but not open), also what process did you go through when deciding what to contribute and what not to? I can imagine that these are areas where you feel you offer more than compeeting Open Source solutions and so you are holding back for now.
This is a shame, especialy with regards the Spatial library as PostgreSQL (via PostGIS) and MySQL (4.1 onwards) already have support for spatial objects and indexing.

other opinions
for a recent take on word shape see
Perea, M., & Rosa, E. (2002). Does "whole word shape" play a role in visual word recognition? Perception and Psychophysics, 64, 785-794. [pdf] from Manolo Perea's homepage
For a take from someone who used to believe in the importance of letter order (I can't really tell what his opinion is these days), see Max Coltheart's homepage (no downloads, but googling "coltheart pdf" gives some decent results). Max came up with the doual-route-model, and it is actually rather suspicious, that Kevin Larson doesn't quote him, since he is in many ways the godfather of visual word recognition research. (For a takedown of Max's main points see Van an Orden, G. C., Pennington, B. F., & Stone, G. O. (2001). What do double dissociations prove? Cognitive Science, 25, 111-172.[pdf] from Guy Van Orden's homepage (his main opponent, who miraculously also was not mentioned by Larson) -
