Why Linux Servers Trump Windows SBS
Proponents of Windows Small Business Server sell it as Microsoft's cheap answer to Linux and other free open source operating systems. The customer gets a Swiss Army knife of Windows software, as long as it's all loaded on a single server. That's where the problem starts.

On the other hand, Linux suffers from fewer critical vulnerabilities, and none of the restrictions.

Using Debconf to configure a system
DebConf is best known as an annual gathering of Debian developers. But the Debian project likes the name so much that it uses it -- give or take a capital "C" -- for the system used to configure Debian packages. Just as the conference is central to the social aspects of Debian, so the program is central to the package management system that is one of Debian's main technical advantages. Debconf gives users as fine a degree of control during configuration as they choose.

DRM - Is It Worth Going To Jail For?
LXer Feature - 8 June-06
It would be terrible if those millions of disgruntled shoppers were to purchase their cd's or movies and, on their way back to their cars, discover that the cd or dvd had DRM on it. Anyone who realized what DRM is, would immediately return the merchandise. Doing so on the weekend prior to the fourth would be disasterous if enough people did it.
