Alternate Access to the System i
,----[ Quote ]
| Then I ran across something that cheered my heart no end: iSeries Access for
| Linux. Those who have been following my travails recently might know that
| I've begun treading the path toward a Microsoft-free environment. I've
| already removed nearly all of my Microsoft applications, trading in IE for
| Firefox, Outlook for Thunderbird, and Microsoft Office for Open Office (IBM
| Symphony isn't quite ready yet). I created my own Linux mail server, and I'm
| trying to go to the next step. Obviously, I have a major stumbling block in
| the fact that WDSC (soon to be RDi) doesn't run on Linux, but I have to
| believe IBM is going to fix that "real soon now." In the meantime, I'm trying
| to find replacements for other software, and while a Linux 5250 terminal
| already exists (TN5250), I thought I'd try the IBM version.

Calling All Distros
,----[ Quote ]
| This event is going to receive national and international coverage.
| Ironically, a google search for LINdependence 2008 shows as much positive
| activity internationally as within our own borders or even in the Ubuntu
| LOCOs in California itself. In a recent google alert, it was amusing to see
| that several prominent Chinese blogs are watching the project closely. This
| is a golden 0pportunity for the leadership within Linux and FOSS to take
| control of their own destiny.

| Lindependence 2008 introduces Linux to the town of Felton, California --

| Cruz County, California. The plan behind Lindependence 2008 involves
| assisting those wishing to declare their digital independence for an entire
| week -- starting on Independence Day 2008 -- by using their choice of distro
| and FOSS programs.
