Top 10 Linux financial tools

Many people don't realize the wealth of applications that are available for Linux. I am asked all the time about X and/or Y application on Windows and whether there's an equivalent on Linux. Most of the time the answer is yes. The arena of finance is no exception. Plenty of outstanding financial applications are available for the Linux operating system. From personal finance to business finance, there is an application for nearly every need. Let's take a look at the top Linux financial applications.

Web Input - Securing Data, Hybrid Approach

  • LXer Linux News; By Herschel Cohen (Posted by TxtEdMacs on Jun 30, 2008 5:35 AM EDT)

LXer Feature: 30-Jun-2008

In this installment, I will cite an example of automated email code designed for another purpose. Nonetheless, I see it is a critical step to confirm the validity of the form's input. Moreover, unless and until I have received the expected human confirmation, that input is left in limbo [1.]. This is another means to prevent spurious, but uncaught data inputs. Thus, this limited human energy expenditure is a high return investment.

KDE: It’s time for a fork

  • Practical Technology; By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols (Posted by Scott_Ruecker on Jun 29, 2008 6:46 PM EDT)
  • Groups: KDE; Story Type: News Story
OK, I’ve now tried KDE 4.1. I’d been assured that it would be better than KDE 4.0x. It is. That’s the good news. The bad news is that I still find KDE 4.1 to be inferior to KDE 3.5x. KDE’s developers believe that KDE 4.1 “can fully replace KDE 3 for end users.” I don’t see it.

chrooting is a very important skill that any *nix administrator must know. It's essentially what allows one to repair an existing Linux environment by entering it from another environment, and is useful for doing tasks such as reinstalling a bootloader, or repairing a broken kernel.

Ah Another Opportunity for Desktop Linux

  • DaniWeb TechTreasures; By Ron Miller (Posted by rsmiller on Jun 29, 2008 1:35 PM EDT)
  • Groups: Linux, Microsoft
My colleague Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols recently wrote a piece on his fine Practical Technology blog called Dear Microsoft, Thanks for the help, Linux in which he argues that Microsoftâ??s ill-timed decision to cut off easy access to XP tomorrow (June 30th) combined with its announcement it would be releasing the next version of Windows in January, 2010 effectively lends a death blow to Vista and creates a huge opportunity for desktop Linux.

Packing It In: The Evolution of Online Video and Audio Tech, Part 2

The business of standardizing compression formats for audio and video files on the Internet is largely dominated by the big companies -- Adobe, Microsoft, etc. Some in the open source community are fighting vendor lock-in by creating superior formats. Now, if only users would adopt them.

Tooling Around With Ajax

Social networks are peppering the Internet with Facebook-like interactive features. Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is fast becoming the defacto programming tool for Web developers. But by itself, Ajax is a daunting challenge that requires demanding coding skills. Ajax toolkits offer Web developers a shortcut method to build in the convenient and useful features that visitors of Web 2.0 sites have come to expect. However, the toolkit concept is nothing new to programming. What's newer is the proliferation of Java-based toolkits to feed the social network phenomenon.

Web Form Attack, Spammed

  • bst-softwaredevs.com; By Herschel Cohen (Posted by Scott_Ruecker on Jun 29, 2008 6:57 AM EDT)
  • Groups: PHP
This will be a concise report regarding, the spamming of web forms by commercially driven criminal enterprises. I am forced to make this short, because my knowledge is second hand and incomplete. I have been consulting with an associate, who has been trying to counter a deluge of spam that is being thrown both into his and into his client's email. We are not in agreement as the probable path; I think it is through the form each time whereas he suspects a single pass followed by cloning the resultant emails. However, I have no access to the email or the internals of the site. He just wants the problem solved with minimum effort. Therefore, it is possible his answers are not accurate; I simply cannot be certain.

Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Alpha 1

The first development snapshot for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is coming out two weeks late -- likely due to Canonical's focus on getting the Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS update out next week -- but what matters is that it's finally here. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is far from meeting the quality standards for end-users (there isn't even a desktop LiveCD spin of this release), but that didn't stop us from playing with this latest build from the Canonical camp. In this article we are looking at the few changes in the Intrepid Alpha 1 release for Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well as looking at some of the changes they have planned before this release goes gold in October
