- 2.6.26-rc5, "Another Batch Of Mostly Pretty Small Fixes"
"Another week, another batch of mostly pretty small fixes. Hopefully the regression list is shrinking, and we've fixed at least a couple of the oopses on Arjan's list," said Linux creator Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.26-rc5 kernel.

- gNewSense Review
The system booted from the livecd fine, except that as usual, it dropped me in some horribly high resolution. Ubuntu does that too. Damn mildly powerful graphics cards and monitors! :P

Ulteo is a brave, innovative, useful and interesting concept. It may be unique in terms of the feature mix but it is possible to put together individual packages to mimic them.

- Not an OS
- A brief history of Linux and the cosmos
One could name Solaris, HPUX, OSX and Windows as alternatives, but their user base is tiny compared to the Linux user community (in HPC-related environments) due to the proprietary nature of those operating systems. Some of them may be a better choice than Linux in very specific areas, but not for the COSMOS style of use, with its wide range of applications and research tasks... From the COSMOS support team point of view, there is no alternative to Linux as the OS of choice for HPC applications."
- What drives a mass Linux migration?
A politician can sell the decision to migrate to FOSS by invoking the national interest - "why should we let a foreign company repatriate earnings abroad when the money can stay here?" Such a rallying cry would appeal to the constituency in Kerala and indeed to most of India. Many people have still not forgotten the last batch of colonial rulers.
