Thin client server revitalizes old PCs
Frankfurt-based 2X Software Ltd. has released a new thin-client software suite that aims to simplify thin-client deployment and give new life to old PCs, by converting them into thin-client terminals. The client-side operating system is a "small footprint Linux-based OS," and the server-side software works on either Linux or Windows systems, the company said.
ThinClientServer can be used to convert old PCs to thin clients, supports "any" brand of thin-client device, and allows administrators to manage them all from a single management interface, 2X said. The server-side software also provides central management of users' connection settings.

Students say religion research hampered by school's Web filter
"We have access to sites on Christianity, Judaism and Islam, but not a lot of the smaller religions, or the various cults and things," said Robinson, who is a member of the Pine View Progressive Club. "We find that the filter picks on some of these nontraditional religions are arbitrary."
[Ed.- Poo, students don't need free speech rights or unfettered access to information anymore than adults do. Someday the entire world will come under the Dept. of Homeloon Defense, the RIAA, and the DMCA, and then we'll all be happy. -tuxchick]
Chip guys say software chaps reverse Moore’s Law
SENIOR SEMICONDUCTOR FOLK here at this show think that software engineers are turning the whole industry on its head by halving the time it takes to make great software in the 18 months half as dumb again.
We think the semi guys are saying software engineers are stupid. But then the semi guys are too diplomatic to put it that way.

Gallery of Computation
I write computer programs to create graphic images. With an algorithmic goal in mind, I manipulate the work by finely crafting the semantics of each program. Specific results are pursued, although occasionally surprising discoveries are made.

SAP man says he really really loves Open Source
From the get-your-story-straight before you speak dept.:
A SUIT from German CRM software outfit SAP has lit out against journalists and claimed they’ve wrenched his remarks out of context.
Spam from Iraq
In the middle of 2003, Iraqi themes began to surface in new renditions of the typical Nigerian advance-fee fraud or "419" scam spam...junk emailers are often born out of an amalgam of technical skill and economic hardship. Iraq's certainly got a lot of both of those elements right now.
Blogs, Customers & Sony's Rootkit
But you see, they think we are all pirates. Sony is absolutely not unique in that attitude, nor is the problem only in the music industry. Apple has just applied for a patent for "tamper resistant code" -- the very title is wildly offensive -- and if you put that thought together with Sony's system for what they call "sterile burning," well, you have seen the future these paranoid loons would like to arrange for us.
[Ed.- As usual, PJ brings a wealth of detailed information, funny writing, and sharp analysis to the subject.- tuxchick]
KDE to synchronize via OpenSync in future
One outcome of the cooperation between OpenSync and KDE developers agreed upon this summer is that the OpenSync Framework will soon replace the mechanisms to date for synchronizing PIM data between KDE and mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. To achieve this OpenSync will be integrated in KDE in such a fashion that its synchronization mechanisms will be available to all applications via a KIO module. With KitchenSync, to be had via KDE's Subversion System, a first application that makes use of OpenSync already exists. In a comparable fashion to Multisync, which is to be found in many distributions, OpenSync is to interact with various applications and devices with the help of plug-ins.

How Microsoft's Enterprise Desktop Stifles Linux and How to Fix it
Every time I read an article suggesting that Linux cannot budge Microsoft off the Enterprise Desktop, I have a private laugh. If you knew what I did, you would laugh too. The only problem I can see: It's not a laughing matter.
OpenOffice in 11 South African languages
South Africans from all eleven official language groups will soon have access to the latest version of OpenOffice.org in their home tongue.

Gnome versus KDE on the Corporate Desktop
Rumors were swirling last week that Novell was dropping KDE support. This news caused a flood of comments and protests. eWeek even got on the bandwagon and received clarification from Novell on the matter (KDE wasn't being dropped). Finally, Kevan Barney of Novell posted an official statement on Novell's PR blog.

Eveready gets the power of Red (Hat)
The ‘Give me Red’ advertisement campaign emphasises the brand recall that Eveready has in India. For its mission-critical ERP too, the company chose a ‘Red’ platform—Linux server software from Red Hat. The need to integrate and streamline processes was the reason for moving from a solution developed in-house. Eveready has nine factories, 14 sales offices and 44 godowns, and the requirement was to connect all these to the company’s headquarters.
User management from the command line
Although Fedora comes with an excellent graphical tool to manage your users (system-config-users), there are times, for example when administering a server through SSH, that user management has to be done from command line.
All operations can be done using the following commands: id, useradd, usermod, userdel, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, passwd
These exist in every Linux distribution with slight differences in each command’s supported options. The following info applies to Fedora Core and other Red Had based distros.

Sony stole code from Lame in their rootkit
Sony themselves felt they were exempt from copyright law when they decided to harass their customers with the now infamous rootkit.
It turns out that the rootkit contains pieces of code that are identical to LAME, an open source mp3-encoder, and thereby breach the license. Who is counting as long as Celine Dion's stuff is protected.

Set up the VNC Server in Fedora
"Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a desktop protocol to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard presses and mouse clicks from one computer to another relaying the screen updates back in the other direction, over a network." -WikiPedia-
This is a mini howto which covers the VNC server’s configuration in brief.
