Not a Programmer? Linux Needs You!
,----[ Quote ]
| Inspired by a comment I received yesterday
| explaining the problems with non-
| programmers getting involved in helping
| Linux projects, I have decided to give a
| little guidance on how to help out if you
| are not the code monkey type.

Opinion: Why Linux Should Not Get a Free Ride
,----[ Quote ]
| I refuse to review a distro and say âooh a
| nice distro that I really liked and looks nice
| and you should try itââ without making sure
| that I compare it to the best out there. The
| teams behind each and every Linux distribution
| deserves our respect, and by comparing them
| with the best we show that we admire their
| effort enough to expect the best from them.
|
| Butâ Donât We Get What we Pay For?
|
| We get more. Over the past years Linux has
| come along in leaps and bounds. And it has
| been hard going. Only within the last five
| years have Linux become really mainstream.
| Sure you could have yourself a desktop OS with
| minimal fiddle since the days of Mandrake
| Linux that came in those blue boxes, and who
| featured the venerable Drake the Wizard to
| help you through the new experience.
|
| Now you get the most full featured and best
| operating systems around only a download away.
| You get the best desktop compositing that
| money will not buy, you get the most stable
| kernel that is used on high end servers across
| the world running your netbook. You get
| security, features, stability, looks,
| compatibility and speed â at no cost.

Android opens door to IC open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The backers of Android point to the benefits of an open-source model: more
| innovation as more companies develop solutions, faster time-to-market, lower
| price points and even better utilization of the sheer power of the
| applications processors. Indeed, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm hope their
| participation in Android will spur design wins and make it easier to
| incorporate their chips into the wave of Android handset introductions the
| market is likely to see later this year.
