OCLUG August Kernel Walkthrough: The Boot Process

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a recording of the second Kernel Walkthrough given by Bart 
| Trojanowski for the Ottawa Canada Linux Users Group. This time Bart covers 
| the x86 boot process in Linux. He gives a presentation with Q+A in the first 
| hour. In the second hour he walks thorough the Linux C and assembly code 
| itself.

Spinmeisters taking over the Linux world

,----[ Quote ]
| Or as one publication puts it, Jim Zemlin: The New Center (sic) of Linux 
| Gravity. Probably that's the impression the writer got. 
| 
| As I asked in April soon after the Foundation held its annual collaboration 
| summit with people from the IT industry, what is important - the Foundation 
| itself and its boss or the kernel which it claims to support?  
| 
| It looks like things have gone to Zemlin's head a bit; the man is now the 
| story, not the kernel. The furious PR which he indulges in with gullible and 
| willing US media organs to project himself and the Foundation is sickening to 
| say the least.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that. Perhaps Google on that layer, although frankly speaking,
| most of what we have there is upside. We're small and they're big. (With)
| most things, we're big and the other guy is small, so we have more to lose
| than gain. In this case, we have more to gain than to lose with Google.
