LinuxWorld: Business, Business and More Business

Posted by michael on from the no-match-for-the-power-of-the-dark-side dept.

Clarkson University wins a server from IBM. Sun is bringing embedded Linux to its UltraSparc IIe processors. Wired has an overview of LinuxWorld, talking about how it's all business and the joy is gone; and so does Internet.com; and so does Newsforge, which also has a story about LinuxWorld in Paris. The Register has a lengthy interview with Miguel de Icaza, in which he notes "Gnome 4.0 should be based on .NET".

    I've been wanting to get into this Linux thing for a while, but I'm kinda confused. And nervous. What is a kernal and changelog? And how come people seem to get angry at me when I ask questions? If you're not gonna be mean to me,would you mind telling me how you run it? I downloaded some folder called Red Hat from www.redhat.com and it had a bunch of stuff in it that didn't look like a setup.exe or anything. I tried opening it with winzip and that didn't work.

    Adaware didn't call what I downloaded spyware or anything, but I know alot of freeware has spyware on it. Is linux like that? Also, is it REALLY free? Or is it one of those things where you will use it for 30 days and then it takes forever to come up when you click on its icon until you pay?

    I agree. OK, so it's annoying and all, but it also spoils the efforts of genuinely hard-working and skilled trolls. When people have to go through extra hassle by scrolling etc. in order to find good content they generally pay less attention to the real trolls.
    It is proven over and over again that no Lameness filter will ever be 100% foolproof, so please quit it with the PWPs now. Thank you.

    It simply takes away the pleasure in browsing at -1. How the hell are the real trolls supposed to troll?

    Wow

    you have opened my eyes to the filthy 'behind-the-scenes' (so to speak) of the linux community. I will be ever vigilant from this day forth.

    You speak the truth. I hate to see trolls actively working to hurt other troll's quality work.

    According to Alan Thicke's Official Web site, he is not dead. You're not the real Alan Thicke, are you?
