Free Open-Source Systems Make Sound Business Sense
More companies are implementing the Linux operating system and other open-source software because it can be used without incurring licence fees. Forrester Research reports that 14% of US companies recently interviewed have implemented Linux in some parts of their business, and 70% plan to use it more in the future.
Open source development using C99
What is C99? Who needs it? Is it available yet? The author discusses the 1999 revision of the ISO C standard, with a focus on the availability of new features on Linux and BSD systems.
ARMv6 support added to Linux 2.6, GCC
Embedded RISC core vendor ARM says Linux 2.6 and the GNU tools now support the ARMv6 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). ARMv6 patches were accepted from ARM kernel legend Russell King into the 2.6.0-test4 release, and ARM has worked to bring ARMv6 support to the GNU GCC tool chain as well.
SIPfoundry Opens Online Open Source Development Community
SIPfoundry, a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization for the development of open source Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based VoIP communication solutions, today announced its incorporation, the formation of its board of directors and availability of its web site: www.SIPfoundry.org. SIPfoundry will be the industry's premier open source community focused on Internet Protocol (IP) telephony, messaging, presence and collaboration and has already received the backing of leading SIP-based open source projects. SIPfoundry's governance structure ensures the organization's autonomy with its activities defined and administered by an independent, elected board of directors from throughout the industry.
Why Do Java Developers Like to Make Things So Hard?
Usually, as Senior Editor of LinuxWorld Magazine, I restrict my potshots to complaining about how much work is left to make Linux a usuable desktop OS, or heckling SCO and Microsoft. But it's a little-known fact that I have an secret identity as a Java developer. So, for a change, I thought I'd take a potshot at Java.
Review: Mandrake Is On The Move
So far, it's been a banner year for MandrakeSoft, makers of Mandrakelinux. In January, they announced a return to profitability, followed by a return to the stock market in mid-March. Sandwiched between these two significant business events, MandrakeSoft released Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community, an early-adopter's release of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official, due out in May. Even though it's only a public beta, the newest Mandrakelinux is definitely worth the download, some rough edges notwithstanding. Here's why I think so.
MontaVista tool creates, certifies embedded Linux BSPs
MontaVista is launching an initiative to help hardware vendors create and "self-certify" their own board support packages (BSPs) for MontaVista's embedded Linux distributions. The initiative revolves around a tool, expected within 90 days, that can test, verify, package, and certify BSPs that MontaVista will support according to the same terms it offers on internally created BSPs -- or "LSPs" (Linux Support Packages), in MontaVista lingo.
Dual-G4 PCI card runs embedded LinuxPPC
EQware Engineering is marketing a general-purpose Linux-based PCI board with two Motorola G4 PPC processors that can be used as a co-processor card on an active motherboard, or as a blade server in a passive PCI backplane. The G4Card targets scientific and medical research, high-speed datacomm, or sophisticated signal acquisition and signal processing applications.
Implement Bayesian inference using PHP, Part 1
Conditional probability -- the probability of observing one event as a result of having observed another event -- is a potentially important factor in designing intelligent Web applications. Paul Meagher introduces Bayesian inference by discussing the basic mathematical concepts involved and demonstrating how to implement the underlying conditional probability calculations using PHP. In this article, the author discusses how Bayesian inference can be used to build an online PHP-based wizard that guides a user through the process making a medical diagnosis. This three-part series features interesting applications designed to help you appreciate the power and potential of Bayesian inference concepts.
IPI Report: Why Open Source Can't Meet Mass Market Demands
Is it possible that, despite all the hype, open source is not necessarily the best way to develop software? That it's not about to take over the software industry, and that it's no more a threat to Microsoft than were Netscape, the Macintosh or Word Perfect? A report released today by the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) reveals why it's absolutely possible.
Migrating from Windows to Linux, Part 1: Preparation
Crashes, viruses and headaches. You have had it with Windows and you want to switch to Linux. Where to begin? How do you save your documents? Will my hardware work?
Linux Kernel Comparison: 2.6.4 vs. 2.4.25
Something I've been promising for a couple of months has been a comparison of Linux kernels 2.6 and 2.4. The 2.6 series has been available for awhile now but the development has been going at a very rapid pace. It seemed everytime I'd be half-way through my benchmarks, a new version would be released. In a desire to stay as current as possible, I held off until now. We'll be taking a look at versions 2.6.4 and 2.4.25 in a variety of benchmarks; both server and workstation-oriented.
Netware-on-Linux release due a year ahead of schedule
The next version of Novell Inc.'s NetWare, to be renamed Open Enterprise Server, is now expected to be released by the end of this year -- a full year ahead of schedule. After the release of OES, which will be a stack of services running on both the NetWare and Linux kernels, NetWare won't go forward as a stand-alone network operating system, Novell confirmed at its BrainShare user conference in Salt Lake City this week. The stack includes file, print, storage, directory, Web development and other services.
Novell to set up Linux R&D center in Taiwan
Novell will open a research and development center in Taipei for the development of Linux-based servers for workstations, said the company’s general manager in Taiwan, Barry Chen. He added that the center in Taiwan will cooperate with its counterpart in Beijing.
[New Zealand] The trends in numbers
It may not be just be all hype. As Novell throws the weight of its rich software stack, its channel partners and consulting services behind the SuSE Linux distribution, it could nudge Red Hat from the security of its frontrunner perch, says a new wide ranging report on Linux from Gartner.
Aurox Live 1.4.2
I'd like to announce the availability of new Aurox Live version (1.4.2). It is based on Aurox 9.3. This Live supports Polish, German, French and Spanish. You can use KDE or fluxbox as graphical environments.

Open source software plays
While long considered a geeky endeavor of "purplemohawked hackers who write substandard code," open source operating systems are being adopted by more and more corporations since it saves them money. They don't have to create or buy a proprietary operating system.

Gluecode has released the 3.5 version of its open source business automation server aimed squarely at the enterprise portal market with tools for personalization, business process management and security, and new JCA adaptors for enterprise products like SAP, Siebel and PeopleSoft.
