What's Open About OpenSolaris?
,----[ Quote ]
| DDJ: What's "open" about OpenSolaris?
|
| TC: The "open" in OpenSolaris combines applications developed by open-source
| communities such as GNOME, Mozilla, and the Free Software Foundation with the
| foundation of Solaris technologies, tools, and modern desktop features.
| OpenSolaris provides an ideal environment for students, developers, and early
| adopters looking to learn and gain experience with innovative technologies
| built-in for free to develop, debug, and deploy new applications faster,
| including ZFS and DTrace. In addition, the OpenSolaris community represents a
| wide variety of developers, administrators, instructors, and students around
| the world contributing to this open-source project.

Argentina-based OpeniMac Now Selling Mac Clones
,----[ Quote ]
| Case in point: meet Argentina-based OpeniMac who, besides clearly angling for
| a trademark lawsuit, is also going ahead and selling Mac OS X-based computers
| at prices that undercut Apple's own offerings.
|
| Well, in Argentina, anyway, as the country doesn't have its own Apple Store,
| online or brick-and-mortar. But if you live in the U.S., the prices aren't
| really cheaper than buying a comparable Mac.

Cheap Laptops Bad for Vista, Good for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The good news for everyone is that you can get a good, solid laptop for under
| a grand these days. The bad news for Vista users is that many of those
| laptops, even though they're sold with Vista, have nothing like enough
| resources to run Vista decently.
|
| [...]
|
| Total additional cost? About a buck for the burnable DVD for the Linux
| distribution. It's not a matter of "if," it's a matter of when we're going to
| see more Linux-powered laptops.
|
| Do the math. Vista doesn't work for today's laptop market. XP and Linux do.
| It's really that simple.
