Open Source 3D Landscape Generators
,----[ Quote ]
| I recently noticed two free 3D landscape generators and thought to myself: "I
| bet there are dozens of never-finish terrain generators for games and vr
| apps!" I was wrong. In this article, I will introduce the handful of floss
| scenery generators and editors that I was able to find.

| communications, I/O and mathematical libraries, as well as compilers,
| debuggers and performance tools to form the Cray Linux Environment.

Linux still super in Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| In the June 2008 Top500 list, Linux still lives large with a role in 92% of
| systems (It is the only OS for 85.4%, but when considering all distributions
| (SUSE, Red Hat, CentOS, and general ‘Linux,’ as well as mixed uses that
| include Linux, I figure the share is more like the 92%).

Fedora on the Final Frontier
,----[ Quote ]
| There has been a long standing rumor regarding NASA running Fedora which all
| of us in the Fedora community have been always intrigued by. Is it true? What
| are they doing with it there? Why don't they run RHEL. Fortunately enough, a
| couple of weeks ago, I got to experience NASA behind the scenes, first hand,
| and hang out with the coolest members of the Fedora community, and find out
| the answer to these questions and lots more.
