GNU/something

| This article might seem to be not serious, or even a little bit heretical.
| Well, so be it. I’ll write what I think I should write and what I see as
| true. Whether is it the same in your case — dear Reader — we’ll see. First of
| all, let me ask you a basic question: Which operating system do you use? What
| are the possible answers? Windows, Linux, Solaris or Mac OS X of course. But
| let us try to think different for a moment. Maybe it is possible, that this
| answer would be, for example KDE?

Your Portage tree just got 200MB smaller
,----[ Quote ]
| Each ebuild in the Portage tree used to come with its own digest file. When
| you emerged a package, this digest was used to verify that you had the same
| files the developer did.

Is 'GNU/Solaris' emerging from Microsoft-Novell deal?
,----[ Quote ]
| "I would not be surprised," Phipps told us, "if the final GPL v3.0
| was not an effective tool for some of the communities that Sun sustains, or
| will, initiate, in the future."
|
| Solaris wasn't mentioned, but the prospect of a Solaris released
| under a dual license, of which one is GPL v 3.0, therefore looks
| much more likely today. And certainly enough of a prospect to
| start talking about the ramifications.

Debian GNU/Minix
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally someone has seen the light and started a project that I called for in
| a previous article. This melding of the Minix kernel with the GNU userland is
| called Preventa, and seems to poke fun at the name Nexenta, a similar project
| using the Solaris kernel, all in good fun I’m sure, considering that the
| project leader’s blog is called “La Salle Debain” (a play on “Debian” and the
| French for “bathroom”).

Better mentors.debian.net/REVU to improve our sponsorship workflow?
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently sponsored several uploads, and was asked to sponsor even more
| uploads, and that got me thinking about our sponsorship workflow. It’s a
| clear bottleneck in Debian, and discourages many new contributors, which
| obviously sucks.

The GNU Hurd
,----[ Quote ]
| This post was written for two reasons: one is to raise awareness about the
| existence of the GNU Hurd kernel and maybe bring it to the attention of
| people who want to help with its development.

Students develop new GNU installer
,----[ Quote ]
| “The developed installer LX series of advanced Debian GNU Hurd is available
| in the CD format. It makes the installation task much simple and easy to
| boot,” said Raju. The students were assisted by two lecturers P Badarudeen
| and A.Ragesh of the IT department, besides the guidance by Philip Charles.
