'Unbreakable Linux'
Zadig writes "It appears as if Dell, Oracle, and Red Hat CEOs have decided to make 'Unbreakable Linux'. Could a giant arise amidst today's insecure and constantly patched linux world that could hold the title of Unbreakable Linux? I doubt it, but it will be fun to try, what are your thoughts?" There's a similar article on CNet.

I've been reading the GTK vs. QT toolkit articles on linuxworld. I've got to ask the people here. Which one do you feel is better? All I hear is about he QT is trampling GTK into the dust in terms of usability, documentation, ease of use and other factors. As programmers would you agree? What is your biggest concern with the direction the GTK toolkit is heading? Do you feel that GTK will soon go the way of the dodo? I ask because I'm interested in programming for Linux and I've taken a look at both GTK and QT. I don't want to throw myself into a toolikt and realize halfway thru that it has been a waste of time. What is particularly interesting is that a developer of RoseGarden is on record saying that it is *much* easier to develop in QT vs. GTK. Again, your reactions...Is that true from your experience?
Thanks
>the customers don't maintain the systems, they're perfectly breakable.
Hello nurse! C'mon, you dont really want to detroy the utopian 'once the *cough*secure*cough* product is bought/installed, we're secure' view we all have, do you?
Please, this culture abhorrs responsibility. Thats why we champion a system where responsibiltiy can be outsourced.

Juice maker Minute Maid, a unit of soft drink giant Coca-Cola Co. of Atlanta, Georgia, agreed to pay more than 100 million for a 28-year deal to have its brand on the downtown stadium where the Astros play baseball.
The three-year-old ballpark has now had three names.
Astros owner Drayton McLane said Minute Maid, based in Houston, met two important criteria for the team that got burned when previous naming partner Enron Corp. went down in flames in a huge financial scandal.
"They're very stable. This was an important decision for the Astros, to have a company that represents the values ... but also has great financial stability," he told reporters in a news conference at the stadium.
And, he said, "This company is about what we represent -- it's a wholesome company."
Three years ago, Enron signed a 30-year deal worth 100 million to have the then-newly built stadium named Enron Field.
Its name was plastered all over the ballpark until February when the Astros paid 2.1 million to buy out Enron's contract after the energy trading giant's name became synonymous with corporate corruption and financial failure.
Enron filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December amid disclosures it had hidden debt and inflated profits through shady off-the-books transactions.
The Astros dismantled the Enron signs, renamed the park Astros Field and searched for another corporate partner to fork over big bucks to put its name in lights.
Minute Maid president Donald Knauss said the Astros deal was a first for a Coca-Cola unit.
"This is the first time the Coca-Cola Company has allowed one of its brands to be put on a stadium, so it's big news for our organisation across the world," he said.
The contract also gives Coca-Cola "pouring rights," meaning that its soft drinks and juices will be the only ones sold at Minute Maid Park.
The stadium is the second in big league baseball to carry a juice company's name, the other being Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida, sponsored by Tropicana Products Inc. and home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Tropicana, a unit of Coca-Cola rival PepsiCo Inc., is the nation's largest juice maker, followed by number two Minute Maid.
