The cold, hard realities of introducing newbies and Linux to each other.
Hollywood needlessly choking U.S. High-Tech
Hollywood is needlessly choking off the development of crucially needed High-Tech products, that could actually make them more money than ever before. They are repeating the same mistakes as the mighty Railroad industry did back in the 1800's Unfortunately this time more than just profits are at stake. Hollywood's unwise protectionism could actually hurt the entire U.S. economy, and possibly our National Security.
Key-Based SSH Logins With PuTTY
This guide describes how to generate and use a private/public key pair to log in to a remote system with SSH using PuTTY. PuTTY is an SSH client that is available for Windows and Linux (although it is more common on Windows systems). Using key-based SSH logins, you can disable the normal username/password login procedure which means that only people with a valid private/public key pair can log in. That way, there is no way for brute-force attacks to be successful, so your system is more secure.

Eben Moglen's Plone Conference Address
This is a must listen too video keynote address to the 2006 Seattle Plone Conference by the Free Software Foundation's Eben Moglen:'...Software can prevent software from being owned. Software itself can lift the software tax. That's where we are at this moment. On that cusp. In this neighborhood, at this moment, the richest and most deeply funded monopoly in the history of the world is beginning to fail...the very engineering limits of trying to make software that you own work as well as software that the community produces are becoming apparent...'
ATI Radeon X1950PRO Tested On Linux
While ATI had learned its lesson from the belated Radeon X1000 Linux support, the fglrx driver support for the X1950PRO was not added in October or even November of this year, but the drivers will finally be making their way out this month.

The X1950PRO is designed to be a midrange high-performance graphics card that sells for under $200 USD.

Here it is in dutch language..
