I moved to Ubuntu from windows XP since Feisty Fawn. At the time I was thinking that (1) the year of the Linux desktop is near and (2) that Ubuntu will soon replace windows. I was wrong. I realized there are 3 major problems Ubuntu has to address. This blog is about the 3rd one. But let's first consider the first 2 ones.

In particular, we'll pay attention to: Seam Remoting, Configuring applications to use Seam Remoting, Developing Seam Remoting clients and servers, Debugging Seam Remoting applications, AJAX4JSF, Configuring applications to use AJAX4JSF and finally some of the more common AJAX4JSF tags.

The Not So Jaunty Jackalope

  • Story Type: Tutorial; Groups: Fedora
SugarCRM is a webbased CRM solution written in PHP. SugarCRM is available in different flavours called "Editions" ("Community" (free), "Professional", and "Enterprise"). For a detailed overview of the different editions, have a look at the SugarCRM website. In this tutorial I will describe the installation of the free Community Edition on Fedora 10. With the modules My Portal, Calendar, Activities, Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Bugtracker, Documents and Email, SugarCRM Community Edition offers everything that can be expected from a CRM solution.

History (and Releases) Are Cyclical: This is Fedora 11!

I've noticed, as I get older, time seems to go exponentially faster. Unfortunately, this meant high school lasted an eternity, and I'm burning through my thirties at warp speed. Some events make me more aware of this than others -- it seems like it was only last week that Fedora 10 made its first mark upon the world. But no, another release cycle has nearly come full circle, and today the Fedora Project announced the Preview Release of Fedora 11 (codenamed Leonidas). This preview will be followed by a release candidate (scheduled for a May 12 appearance), with the final version hitting the streets on May 26.

An Open Letter to Larry Ellison about OpenOffice.org

Dear Mr. Ellison, I'm sure there are many reasons for Oracle buying Sun. You might not be having meetings this week about OpenOffice.org. You might be having meetings next week about spinning it off into a foundation. But if you keep interest or control over OpenOffice.org, please consider the following. Let me make my laundry list for what I think is important for OpenOffice.org. My letter to Santa Claus, perhaps; my wish list for a win/win/win situation for Oracle, users, and of course me and other OpenOffice.org providers of products and services.

The Kindness of strangers can defeat Proprietary Cloud Computing. Free Software Solutions

  • Free Software Magazine; By Gary Richmond (Posted by scrubs on Apr 29, 2009 10:10 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: Editorial; Groups: Linux
Fashion is fickle. One day thin clients and clusters are the fashion de jour, the next it’s Web 2.0, Virtualisation or distributed computing and Grids. They who live by the sword of fashion will surely perish by it but a new model has been strutting its stuff along the catwalk of web fashion and she goes by the name of Cloud Computing. Like all fashions there is a deal of hype surrounding it but there is a consistent concern emerging from all that hype and is about the dangers of proprietary cloud computing. Richard Stallman has called it a “trap”. He is right—but it is more than that. It is a well-baited, DRM-like honey trap for the unwary. That is not immediately obvious. Like all good traps it suckers you in before the wire noose tightens around your neck. You don’t have any wire cutters in your rucksack but you do have the GPL and free software to effect an escape. Can it save us from vendor lock in and proprietary software?

Pragmatic Version Control Using Git (book review)

The geek world is full of exciting drama and conflict if you know where to look. We're going to take a look at "Pragmatic Version Control Using Git" by Travis Swicegood, which I believe is the first printed Git book by a major publisher. But before we look at the book, let's take a quick stroll down memory lane because the birth of Git is a fascinating story, all full of thunder and drama.

OpenBSD 4.5 CD set — this time I bought one

For the first time, I decided to purchase the OpenBSD CD set to both support the project and make it easier for me to upgrade my two OpenBSD laptops and install the OS on some new boxes. I've had been using OpenBSD off and on since version 4.2, but only in the past five or so months has OpenBSD 4.4 been my main operating system on my Toshiba Satellite 1100-S101 laptop.

a little vi trick

An update to my previous article My vi first steps I use vi instead of command line editors to do mass replacing of blocks and editing many files in the following way: say I know all files I need to edit in the current directory contain the text foo and the rest of the files don't. I open all files containing foo in vi:

Aaron Weiss reports on the accusations and controversy that dog this popular software.
