3 ways to turbocharge your Linux desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Manufacturers and PC vendors would have you believe that there's only one way
| to speed up your machine: buy new kit.
|
| And then, in 18 months, buy new kit again. However, it's usually our software
| that's the real bottleneck.
|
| If you've been using Linux for a while, you'll already have discovered
| lighter alternatives to some of the platform's bloatfests – for example,
| using AbiWord and Gnumeric in the place of OpenOffice.org.

Open source, agile help move to lean software development
,----[ Quote ]
| Bloated applications, platforms and architectures slow application
| development and make quality control and everyday usage time-consuming and
| nonproductive, said Forrester Research principal analyst John R. Rymer in a
| phone conversation yesterday. In this post, I’ll share Rymer’s thoughts on
| why software pros should join the lean software movement and his advice on
| how to create appropriately sized and efficient software.
