For those who missed it, this is a quote attributed to Jamie Zawinski, one of the most notable Netscape/Mozilla developers who laid the foundations for our Firefox of today, and memorable for attending anti-trust court proceedings against Microsoft sporting a colored mohawk and wearing army boots - a true cyberpunk.
Also, Jamie's version is "Linux is only free if your time has no value";)
Setup a VPN between your two companies, your network guys should be able to setup a secure IPsec or PPTP tunnel.
Only allow traffic from a certain range or IP to a certain range or IP, over specific ports. Deny everything else.
This covers your ass from your company seeing theirs, and their company seeing yours, whilst still allowing access to the data, and only the data.
Rather than setup SCP over SSH or SFTP, which require learning of a new sort of client software, setup an authenticated HTTPS front end to the data - I'd assume everyone knows how to use a webpage, and save a file to the appropriate location - this encrypts the traffic (and password required to unlock it) whilst reducing end-user learning curve.
Canonical is Mark Shuttleworth's toy, and he's loving Linux at the moment, in between his spaceflight holidays. The company is at least covering costs, if not profitable, but he slipped the Ubuntu Foundation a spare $10M pocket money, should rainy days come. I don't think Ubuntu is going away any time soon:)
Look up what's going on around Chernobyl at the moment.
Whilst humans can't go anywhere near it, or the town of Pripyat, many species of plant and animals have flourished in the 30-odd years since the infamous meltdown. These species display no visible deformations, and continue to breed and live undisturbed by humans.
Almost as if they had just... evolved to cope with the massive doses of radiation they cop every day.
Thanks so much for this series, I've really loved reading it, it takes me back to a day when the internet was a much better place.
For what it's worth, my "regular geek news" is the Slashdot and Digg Technology RSS feeds, in a Firefox Live Bookmark. I often find Slashdot has better articles in 15 items, than Digg Tech does in a whole screenfull.
How is Intel following their roadmap for process downsizing a "leak" worthy of news?
I'll leak you some more things right now - they're looking to go to 32nm in another 2 years, and further to ~20nm 2 years after that.
We have a smaller site with its' own onsite server, probably similar to your business.
We use Drive Snapshot - http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/ - and just run a scheduled task to back the entire hard drive up (replacing that PC's old image) weekly.
This may or may not be of use to you, depending on wether your laptops are in the office regularly or not.

Just repping it for Jamies everywhere :P

I agree. The absolute LAST thing that major Linux distros need is a new packaging format.
Standardize people, don't separate!
11 minutes on Slashdot and the server is already down.
:P
I guess their httpd is running on Embedded Linux

Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks for that, always nice to read a story from the annals of internet history. The web's just not like it used to be...

POP3 has been dead for a long time. Use IMAP and Thunderbird Portable, or setup an IMAP AJAX webmail client like Roundcube.
