Will my program work on all Linux distributions? 

,----[ Quote ]
| This was a question asked by a programmer friend of mine who has a passion 
| for wooden spoons. It is however, a very important question and has been 
| asked several times. The reason being that there are hundreds of Linux 
| distributions and they all have slight differences in their setup.

eBox Moves Onto the Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Wow. This is the first dead-simple log-on service for Ubuntu clients (that I 
| know of, anyway, and I try to keep my ear to the ground). SUSE and RHEL have 
| had good solutions for their distributions for a while, but eBox sets Ubuntu 
| 9.04 and beyond up for SME use.

French Lawmakers Hope to Inspire Linux Revolution

,----[ Quote ]
| If the French National Assembly gets its way, the open-source Linux operating
| system will take over the governments of Europe, seizing on a weak economy to
| displace Windows.
|
| About 18 months ago, the Assembly shifted from running Windows on the 1,100
| computers of its members and their assistants to running a version of Linux
| called Ubuntu. (I profiled the rise of Ubuntu in a recent article.) According
| to Rudy Salles, vice president of the assembly, the decision to abandon
| Microsoft’s Windows software was both an economic and political gesture.
|
| The French Parliament should save about 500,000 euros over the next five
| years, thanks to the low price of Ubuntu –- free –- and have lower management
| costs. Linux tends to have fewer security issues than Windows, for example.
