Artila Electronics announced the release of an 80 x 50mm computer-on-module (COM) that runs Linux or Android on an ARM Cortex A8-based Freescale system-on-chip. The M-5360A module plugs into application baseboards via three bottom-side headers carrying numerous I/O interfaces including dual LVDS, VGA, SATA, Fast Ethernet, SD, USB 2.0, serial, and CAN bus.

I get asked a lot by people who are interested in helping out open source projects, but have absolutely no programming skills. What can they do? Well, here’s a few ideas how non-programmers can contribute to open source projects. It is worth noting that it is best to contribute to software that you actually use yourself. That way you feel the benefits.

We are extremely sorry to announce today, that the SolusOS Linux project will close its doors and it will no longer be developed by its father, Ikey Doherty.

In 2009, our friends at Development Seed launched a pretty revolutionary concept—a completely open source intranet-in-a-box called Open Atrium. It was regarded as a giant leap forward for open source, for social collaboration, and for Drupal. Way back then (okay, it was just four years ago), an open source solution that could stand toe-to-toe with proprietary solutions like Basecamp and SharePoint was unprecedented. Open Atrium came on the scene and directly into the limelight because for the first time, a distribution of the open source Drupal code base felt really and truly like an all-in-one product.

KVM is a kernel-based hypervisor which grows quickly in maturity and popularity in the Linux server market. Red Hat officially dropped Xen in favor of KVM since RHEL 6. With KVM being officially supported by Red Hat, installing KVM on RedHat-based systems should be a breeze. In this tutorial, I will describe how to install and configure KVM and VirtManager on CentOS.

Advanced features in PyOpenCL reduce the code required to build kernels for many parallel algorithms.

Humble Bundle has already presented the Humble Bundle 7, but recently 3 new games were added:

Avnet released two Linux-based Software Defined Radio (SDR) development kits that combine Xilinx ARM/FPGA Zynq-7000 SoCs with Analog Devices RF transceiver modules. The SDR Evaluation Kit uses the community-backed Zedboard SBC and supports 2.4 to 2.5GHz operation,.............

LEMP is a combination of the operating system and open-source software stack. The acronym LEMP is derived from first letters of Linux, Nginx HTTP Server, MySQL database, and PHP, Perl or Python. We already have shown you how to install LEMP and LAMP servers on many platforms.

While Python 3.0 was released at the end of 2008, due to its backwards-incompatibility, Python 2 is still the default Python implementation on Fedora. Fortunately, FESCo approved today that for Fedora 21 or 22 the switch will be made to Python 3.x by default.

It's been a while since last having major updates to share on Xiph.Org's Daala, the next-generation open-source video codec, but today there's a new technical overview update. The latest update on Daala covers prediction of chroma planes from luma.

Marco Fioretti explains the most common way to install from sources on Linux, using a compilation of AbiWord 3.0.0 as an example.

SUSE Linux is updating its flagship server offering with new features and capabilities that are optimized to enable SAP applications. The new SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP applications is based on the SLES 11 Service Pack 3 update, which was released in July.

Andy Schatz has broken into his own game. Not to steal something, though. While that would be true to theme of Monaco, it would also be somewhat self-defeating. Instead, he’s planted a new mini-campaign. It’s called Monaco Origins, because video games. In addition, you’ll also find Linux support, in preparation for SteamOS, and a zombie mode, possibly in preparation for Halloween. That or, again, because video games.

This is Vine Linux version 6 release. Since this is not a commercial version (Vine Linux CR), non-free applications and fonts are not included on the CD/DVD. Instead of proprietary ATOX X/Wnn7/Wnn8/VJE Japanese inputs and Ricoh/Dynacomware fonts, this FTP edition contains Anthy and free TrueType fonts. Vine Linux 6.2 has following features (highlights): update the software collection; update Linux kernel to 3.4.65 (latest LTS kernel); bundle newer software - Firefox 24, Thunderbird 24, LibreOffice 4.1; stability improvements; look and feel improvements; newer hardware support; new user-friendly tools.

The Fetch is a key fob-sized device, measuring approximately 2.9cm x 2.9cm and less than 1cm thick. It works only with the HTC One mini, Butterfly s, and One max smartphones, and has a working range of 15m (slightly more than 49 feet), with a battery that will last 6 month before needing to be recharged.

Before I get into this review, you should know that in addition to GNOME 3.8, you can also run GNOME Classic by switching the session at the login screen. As I started using GNOME 3.8, I remembered how much I loathe it. It is probably the single worst desktop environment available for Linux right now. It’s so bad that it makes me long for Unity.

Sure, the HP Chromebook 11 is attractive, especially for that $279 price tag. In many ways it resembles the old white MacBooks, but when you get beyond the good looks, this machine is slow and frustrating, and you're much better off with the dowdy $249 Samsung
