In Review: Interoperability Headlined 2004
I got to write the year-end review for Enterprise Networking Planet, yay, so I made it all about Linux and F/OSS being the leaders and prime movers of interoperability. Which is something us real-world sysadmins struggle with everyday, with no help from the usual gaggle of closed-source, proprietary vendors. Hurrah for RMS and Linus and every F/OSS developer and advocate on the planet!

Why the Free Software Movement can succeed.
When I wrote "Why the Free Software Movement is Doomed to Failure" I dismissed mankind's desire for Freedom. That was a premise that instantly knocked the foundations for my text to pieces. Freedom is a core value in people and no individual is willing to give it up voluntarily. Dismissing Freedom simply is unrealistically pessimistic. Basically it is a matter of education.
My workstation OS: My own
This is an unusual article in the "My workstation OS" series. It's not about using a specific OS distribution. Indeed it's about not using any OS distribution at all. For many years now I've installed my OS from the sources. Although this is not an easy nor fast way to get an OS installed, it's the best way for getting a fully customized system that fits any individual needs and desires.
