[If we keep surrendering our freedom, eventually, we won't have any freedom left to surrender. It's up to a government *of* and *by* the people to ensure that the it works *for* the people. IOW, if we, the people quit surrendering our freedoms, the government won't be able to encroach on them this way. - Ed]

Fedora Weekly News Issue 21
Welcome to our issue number 21 of Fedora Weekly News.
Is the open source bubble ready to burst?
[Ed: I passed on this article earlier in the day. One of our readers suggested we look at it again. Well, I don't consider it a fit. The author doesn't seem to have a real handle on the subject. But he does make a point or two worth nothing. He writes:"Too many of these companies [now forming] are being funded without a community," said David Skok, a venture capitalist at Matrix Partners. "If a community doesn't form and form fast, then they're going to burn through their venture capital, and they're going to be disasters."
The worse part of the article waffles around the metaphor of a bubble that might burst and the imagery of Venture Capital firms pouring money into startups. So, look past that and you might find a gem in the story. - tadelste]

"User Friendly" and "GPF" creators on comics and operating systems
Web comics are the next incarnation of traditional cartoons. And while the medium in which they are published has changed, the idea of comics making commentary still stays the same. Today, some Web comic creators use their comic to promote Linux advocacy.
Two of the better known Web comics, User Friendly and General Protection Fault, have used Linux and open source as inspiration for many of their story lines.
[Ed.- Don't miss this hilarious interview. Just like The Daily Show, you find more truth in the comics than in the news.]

(Mandriva) Background: Linux software repositories and software installation
This section is aimed at all those who have no or limited Linux experience, and are unfamiliar with software repositories. It occurred to me that novice Linux users are often at a loss where to get software, and the next thing that happens is that they manage to find some rpm file somewhere on the internet, and run into what is aptly called 'dependency hell' (for Linux insiders: note the pun! Ah well, I'm not good with those anyway..). So I decided to put up a couple of paragraphs about software installation, and clear up a few puzzling points.
[Ed.- great article- only please, for the love of $deity and readability, lose the text-scrolling-over-fixed background. Ow.]
