Talking Windows and Linux in Round Rock
[Dell CEO] Rollins says the long-term solution to the interoperability issues faced by companies that want to deploy both Windows and Linux will involve some kind of systems-management approach that makes it easier for companies to run and manage the two environments side by side.

Must-have open source applications for consultants
As a consultant to small businesses trying to get up to speed on Linux, my must-have applications are OpenOffice.org, MySQLAdmin, and Rekall.
