Most Complete Set of Operating System, Management Tools, Application Software and Networking Functionality Ever Shipped for Home Computing Environment
With the release of amaroK 1.2 last month, I finally found the Linux music player I've been wanting. When I moved to Linux full-time about two years ago, the only software that I missed from Windows was a quality audio player. Linux audio players lacked features like cover downloads, smart playlists, or easy burning to CD. Even worse, with a large collection of more than 10,000 tracks, the Linux players generally locked up when I tried to load them all, or at least slowed to an unbearable crawl. AmaroK has all of the basic features of modern Windows audio players, and some features that I haven't seen in any other player.
The Mozilla Foundation is expected to make a formal announcement on the future of the Mozilla Application Suite soon. Debate about the future of the suite, often known as Mozilla 1.x or by its SeaMonkey codename, has raged over the last few days following Saturday's publication of the minutes of the mozilla.org staff meeting held on Monday 28th February 2005.
The next version of Novell's SuSE Linux product, shipping in mid-April, will let users run multiple versions of the operating system simultaneously, the company said on Thursday.
SCO's litigation over Linux was hugely unpopular, but there was a big upside, according to the chief executive of Open Source Development Labs.
A new version, due to ship in April, bundles revamped applications and tools with the latest version of the operating system.
Commentary: Novell made two major Linux-related announcements at CEBIT this week. They announced SUSE Professional 9.3, due to be released in April, and ZENworks 7 for Linux. Unlike many press releases in this industry, announcing a new customer contract or otherwise allowing marketing folk to message the masses (forgive me, Baud, for the babble-speak), these two actually have some weight to them. Novell's director of marketing for SUSE LINUX, Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, and ZENworks product management and marketing vice president Alan Murray combined to brief NewsForge on the news yesterday afternoon, following the SUSE Professional 9.3 announcement at CEBIT, but ahead of today's unveiling at CEBIT of the latest version of ZENworks.
Built on a Debian Linux core, Linspire is designed for simplicity of use, and it delivers this in spades. Linspire eliminates the need for me to be technically proficient in the nuances of Linux to successfully operate and enjoy the OS. This includes loading software, staying updated, and never seeing a command-line interface. It makes it very easy to just get on with what I have to do and not worry about the technicalities of using a Linux-based system.
At the Sounding Edge: Introducing KeyKit

Hoping to appeal to as broad a technical audience as possible, Novell on Thursday released a new version of Suse Linux Professional at Cebit, in Hanover, Germany, that includes the 2.611 version of the kernel, the 2.0 version of the OpenOffice.org productivity suite, and the Firefox 1.0 browser.
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Far away from the usual open source software industry focus on code, freedom, and evangelism, the InnoTech conference and expo held here this week centered on the business of open source for business' sake. Sure there was talk about the advantages of Linux and open source technology, the ability to impact operating system-level functionality, and fighting unwarranted fears of a different model, but the heart of the conference was the beat of business -- cutting costs, driving value, and saving time and grief.
The Ubuntu team earlier today announced the release of the preview of the second Ubuntu Linux release: Ubuntu 5.04-preview (Hoary Hedgehog). Released includes X.org 6.8.2 and Gnome 2.10 - release just yesterday. Available as both an install and a live CD.

Release candidate builds of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.1 are now available. Like last month's Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1, this new version will just fix a few security and stability bugs; it's not a major update. Testers can download the release candidate from the latest-aviary1.0.1 directory on
http://ftp.mozilla.org. Assuming no problems are found, the final version of Thunderbird 1.0.1 will come out within a day or two.

Whatever your data, JPGraph can help you to view it graphically, letting you to see relations in more clearly. Such data visualization may not be important to a computer, but, to a person, it can make a lot of difference to analysis.
Some like it hot and fancy. Not Tux. He likes it cold and cheap. Take the iPod for example. That's hot. Everyone is talking about it, it's selling by the millions, and it has given the major record labels a little breathing room because it encourages music sales. But Tux finds it boring. It doesn't really help Tux in his quest for global domination.
