Linspire offers free email and file storage services

First, there was Freespire; then, free CNR. Now, here comes FreeLinuxEmail, a free email and file storage system from Linspire Inc. It's not much of a name, and not a completely accurate one, either.

FreeLinuxEmail boasts free email and file storage, and a swift web interface. It supports SMTP for sending email and WAP for mobile phone access.

But a relatively young open source application called Lprof does a professional job at that task.

Review: Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears

  • Linux-Tutorial.info; By James Pyles (Posted by tripwire45 on Nov 15, 2006 7:30 PM CST)
  • Story Type: News Story; Groups: PHP

One of the reviews in the front of this book states in part: "Dear PHP, It's over between us. You can keep the kitchen sink, but I want my MVC..."

It's sad to see a relationship break up but apparently something better came along. While I've already been sold on Python, I wanted to know how TurboGears stacked up as a Python framework and how well the Ramm/Dangoor/Sayfan book presents it. Since Kevin Dangoor created TurboGears, I imagined that "Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears" wouldn't lack for technical accuracy (of course, you never know) but would it really help me to "...get productive with TurboGears - fast"? Let's find out.

Who Else Gains from a GPL'd Java?

Sun'sannouncement that it would be releasing Java under the GNU GPL confounded many of its critics (including myself) who had feared that the company was incapable of making such a bold move.  Quite rightly, it has garnered praise from across the hacker world.  But Sun's relationship with free software has not always been so idyllic.

What Does Free Software Really Cost?

  • EnterpriseNetworkingPlanet; By Carla Schroder (Posted by Scott_Ruecker on Nov 15, 2006 12:43 PM CST)
  • Story Type: News Story; Groups: Linux
You've probably seen the many articles infesting computing publications that blather on about comparing TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and ROI (Return on Investment) for Linux and Windows, and trying to figure out which one costs less to run. I'm no analyst, nor am I a Fellow at some Institute, nor am I a pundit who is paid to pontificate. I'm just an old country system and network administrator who has been running mixed Linux and Windows networks for lo these many years, and since everything works OK and my customers keep sending me checks that don't bounce, I figure I'm entitled to a punditry or two of my own. The bottom line is Linux costs way less to run and works better. That's why I prefer it.
