Fedora Core 3 ... became my default desktop until late this past year when Debian Sarge was loaded followed by packages from mainly Testing and a few from Unstable on the tower.

Four months ago i made my full switch to linux at the age of 17 with Ubuntu (previously i messed around with floppix, a predecessor to the now popular live-cd distros).

Australian JBoss users are bracing themselves for an Oracle raid in the wake of mounting speculation that the software giant's CEO Larry Ellison plans to include the J2EE application server provider in his ongoing, open source acquisition spree.

Speculation is rife that JBoss, which has a long list of local customers such as Queensland Transport, which oversees the all state's road and motoring matters, Centrelink and Optus, is Ellison's next target.

I use Xandros 3 currently, and I've used this distro since it was Corel 1.0. Back then, it was surely the easiest way to get Debian installed.

Out of them all, Debian is King

I use Gentoo. I switched from Debian when I built a dual Opteron. At the time there were only a few Linux distros that were ready to run in 64bit with dual ( 32/64 bit ) binary support. I tried them all and ended up trying Gentoo last.

SimplyMepis is simply the best! I believe in Debian. And yes, i do suffer from portage envy, but Simply Mepis is the only distro to pass the "my wife the Realtor" test.

I'm so glad you asked!

PCLinuxOS runs 13 desktops at the local community college and operates as email/internet machines.

You don't have to buy software anymore. Well, maybe you do, if you're the information systems department. Or if you need technical support (lotsa luck with that 800 number). Almost certainly, if you're a professional doing a professional job. But for home users, free open-source software is the way to go.

Arch Linux feels like home to me. I have used it for about 5 months now and I have no plans to stop using it.

I am from India and I started with Mandrake long back to learn programming. But after joining a job, I didn't used it for a considerable period. Now back in school, saw Suse 9.1 one fine day, since then I am using Suse.

I get a chuckle when I hear that Linux "...is not you grandmother's operating system." My wife and I are both in our 60's and grandparents.

Our survey results will see some additional tabulations before we release them. Even so, we received many outstanding posts. So, today, we'll allow you to have a look at what many of those surveyed wrote.

In this HowTo I will show how to install and configure DenyHosts. With DenyHosts you can prevent SSH dictionary attacks to your server.

We are in the final week of the nomination period for candidates for the position of the Debian Project Leader.

Paradox: As software increasingly becomes available for free, developers keep trying to foist more of it on us--along with lots of extras (call it, oh, say, spam) we don't need. In the days when we paid real dollars for software, all we got in the box was what we paid for.

News Analysis: SugarCRM adopts the Microsoft Community License, but don't look for a rush of open-source companies following SugarCRM's lead, insiders say.

Despite rumors that Red Hat engineers are working on it, Edgar"Gimli" Hucek appears to be the first to get Linux running on a Mactel.

Opinion: Real revolutions are often quiet ones. Linux and open-source banners are carried by small, startup companies.(Linux-Watch)
