And because of that, the company I'm working for ordered an Opteron server (2500 L) at Transtec. And since the server was performing well, we ordered for $ 300,000 of similar servers afterwards.
Did you tell Transtec about it?
It's important to keep vendors motivated into donating stuff...
Right know, I put my expectations on Bazaar-NG: all the goodies of GNU Arch and the simple interface of Subversion. Developed by Canonical (of Ubuntu fame).
The only way to run X is by having an X server on your Windows box
Not really. I tried VNC, and it works quite ok. Unfortunately I had some problems with accented characters (á, é and such).
At the end, I installed FreeNX on my Debian image, and the free (as in beer) No Machine NX client on Windows. The performance is great, although I still have a couple of glitches with my keyboard.
With Linux achieving international standards recognition it will be that much easier for governments and other risk adverse organizations to include Linux in their procurement policies.
How will this affect the posible use of FreeBSD by the government agencies?
Quote: According to a report commissioned by the European Union, entitled Development of Surveillance Technology and the Risk of Abuse of Economic Information, the system has, since the dissolution of the Soviet Empire, been partially dedicated to industrial espionage.
According to the New York Times, the report claims that information gleaned through Echelon helped U.S. aerospace firm Boeing win a lucrative Saudi Arabian contract away from a European competitor, and that Echelon was used to help the American company Raytheon "win a bid for a $1.3 billion surveillance system for the Amazon forest away from Thomson-CSF, a French company."
Not KDE. You are talking about the Qt libraries from Troll Tech.
If you develop free software, you can use these libs under a choice of free software licenses.
If you develop proprietary software which you will want to sell, then you have to pay for the libraries.
Pretty fair, is not it?
If you are so cheap that you do not want to pay Troll Tech for their wonderful libs, and you believe you should get them for free, why on Earth should I feel compelled to pay you for your app? Why should not I get it for free as well?
I think most of the graphical programs for score editing out there (Rosegarden4, Noteedit, denemo, etc) can act as a frontend to GNU Lilypond, don't they?
TG is, by all evidence I've seen, a totally community oriented gig.
Preventing Debian and Gentoo from distributing the CVS stuff (something allowed by the license) is not exactly what I would call "community oriented". I'd rather call it lying about the licensing terms.

The screenshots showing Knoppix on top of Windows look promising. I think this project could become really useful in an office as a step towards a long-term migration to GNU/Linux.
The original article doesn't even mention the KDE framework.
The KDE project shows that, with the Qt libraries, wise and proper use of C++ can make wonders.
Python is discarted without any discussion. Yet there are Qt and KDE python bindings, which could lead to very effective GUI programming with a very high level language and a clear syntax.
*idiot's linking directly to the root source, moorons* and larger shame on CmdrTaco for not haveing common sense to check the mirrors aren't up to date
Don't blame the submitter. The story clearly states that the tarballs are still propagating to the mirrors.
The WTFPL is also short and clear. It covers some parts of WindowMaker, and I've used myself on some tiny applets I wrote:

Here are some facts which I can back up with copies of email sent to the team by Shawn Gordon
1. I worked for TKC for a little over 2 years 2. The first 2 months I recieved not a single cent in payment 3. The 3 month I was paid the equivalent of one weeks pay 4. I never once in two received a full months money 5. In June we were all told to find alternative employment until TKC gets back in it feet again 6. My last pay month was May 2003
Both Mike and I are willing to write off TKC debt if Shawn agrees to allow us to release Rekall under the GPL.

And, will Recall and Total Recall stay as an application or will they fork?

Actually, only the lyrics are protected.
You can freely use the music (Good Morning to All) with no lyrics (or your own).

In Denmark, you actually get paid for attending the University.
What about using GNUStep?
Adobe could make it advance really fast, if they want to.
An important difference is that BIND 9.3.0 has replaced BIND 8.x as the default name server.

My only complaint about Ubuntu is that it is GNOME-based.
I believe KDE is a better deal, both technically and philosophically.
Anyway- go Ubuntu, go!

Oh, I thought Microsoft was already distributing MS Linux!
Do you mean that MS will not invade Cuba as stated there?

According to this article, the FBI has visited SCO, seized a server and several workstations, and arrested several programmers and bosses.
Can anybody confirm this?
Both the Free Software Foundation and the Debian legal group agree that this is a valid FLOSS license.

Another great similar offering is GNUwin II , which has been worked out for quite some time.

They maintain over 100 Free Software packages for Windows, and their website is available in about 8 different languages.
Besides downloading/purchasing the CD, you can also download single packages from their website.
