- AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support
Tux being part of their licensed box design, forthcoming CrossFire support, and other major features coming are major wins for the Linux community. For those concerned that AMD is attempting to build back up its binary blockade, don't worry as their open-source strategy will continue with the RV770.
- Linux Community Should Plant Seeds for Consumer Demand
Free and open source software has come a long way toward widespread acceptance over the years, and that can be attributed in no small part to the strength and dedication of the community behind it.
- To Those Who Make My Job Easier
I know that isn't near enough to express my gratitude for the gifts you've given this community. There are three of you who know just how generous I can be, but that was a one-time shot and as much as I'd like to match that gesture time and time again...well, we'll see some day.

- Review: Linux Mint 5
One of the hallmark Linux distributions for new users that we've been very pleased with has been Linux Mint. As I've said before, it's built on Ubuntu and is essentially "Ubuntu done right".

- Damn Small Linux 4.4 Review
DSL 4.4 was just released on June 9th, so this past weekend I installed it on my Compaq Deskpro Pentium III 800 Mhz machine. It only has 256 megs of RAM, so a lightweight distribution like DSL is a good choice for it. Their site claims you can run DSL 486 DX with 16 megs of RAM, so even this old Compaq should fly with what it’s got.

- Verizon CEO doesn't know about open source
Specifically I asked what role does open source play at Verizon now, especially in light of the recent SFLC lawsuit against Verizon on GPL infringement. Strigl looked at me with a blank face and asked me to repeat my question. He was completely clueless.

Microsoft, like Oracle, could never compete. It could just buy the competition of 'steal' essential parts of it. Look what it's doing to Yahoo! at the moment.
