Thereâs a Patch for That
,----[ Quote ]
| As a longtime Linux user, this seems to me to
| be a perfectly sensible idea; after all, it is
| essentially what is provided as part of the
| Ubuntu Linux distribution, for example. I
| subscribe to a security bulletin E-mail list;
| but there is also an automatic background
| process that runs daily and notifies me of any
| updates to the 25,295 packages that Ubuntu
| knows about. It makes keeping things up to date
| pretty painless. In the next few days, Iâll
| post an article here explaining how it works,
| which I think might clarify what Secunia is
| proposing to do.

Can You Design a Better Linux T-shirt Than Us?
,----[ Quote ]
| Today we launched a new initiative at the Linux
| Foundation: a merchandise store on Linux.com.
| These arenât logo Ts that you get at every
| trade show (and probably use to dry your car.)
| The T-shirts, mugs, stickers and babies gear in
| the Linux.com store are truly unique and
| hopefully capture the irreverence, wit and
| attitude of Linux and free software.

Oracle should learn a lesson from Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle is a big world wide database company.
| They produce large and complicated ERP
| systems whose size, just for the
| applications side, number in the range of
| sixty plus gigabytes. Naturally a software
| solution of such a large scale needs to be
| maintained and patched every now and then.
| Heck, any software project, no matter what
| size, needs the same thing.
|
| [...]
|
| What Oracle should do is standardise it's
| patching procedures so it is the same
| procedure no matter what patch, be it one
| off or cumulative update, needs to be
| installed. Then they need to have a package
| manager developed which will download and
| install those patches from a specified
| repository. I believe that the type of
| package management used by Linux will scale
| up to Oracle's size quite well and work for
| all supported operating systems in applying
| and maintaining patches.
