iMagic OS: Commercial Linux Distro Gone Wrong
,----[ Quote ]
| That issue aside, Carlos also clarified to me that the distro costs $80 for a
| reason. It includes Codeweaver's Crossover Office, which is something I
| overlooked the first time around. Since that product on its own costs $70, it
| makes a bit more sense as to why the distro itself isn't cheap.

Mono developers should pay attention. Linux is not Windows and it's not
Microsoft 'standards'.

Isn't Linux just UNIX under a different name?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet, the bottom line is Linux is not UNIX. Make no mistake. Linux was not
| derived from the original program code and it is not subject to any UNIX
| licensing arrangement (some may say constraint.) In fact, Linux is not
| legally able to call itself UNIX (and incidentally, neither is BSD anymore.)
|
| No, despite the affection long-timers in the industry might have for UNIX
| there’s no denying Linux has taken on a life of its own and is driving modern
| development faster than any proprietary team. In a twist of fate, Linux poses
| a challenge to the mighty Microsoft whose server-based operating systems led
| pundits to question the viability of UNIX just two decades ago.
|
| Linux ain’t UNIX. And in fact Linux has left UNIX behind. The UNIX name has
| become bogged down with fragmented development and legal battles making it a
| shell of its former self. Linux is the new UNIX, it alone is the embodiment
| of the elegant design and hacker spirit that UNIX originally represented.

iTunes on the Xandros Eee PC 900, Not Quite a Windows Experience
,----[ Quote ]
| I am a big fan of Xandros on the Eee PC, but I’ve always said it has its
| limitations, especially when it doesn’t give me access to my favorite Windows
| programs. But when my editor told me earlier this week about Wine HQ, I
| nearly freaked. Wine HQ enables a compatibility layer that allows Windows
| programs to run on a Linux OS.
