Canton Linux Enthusiasts

Enterprise Storage Forum: "Sun Microsystem's Open Storage efforts shone in the company's March quarter -- just in time for Oracle to figure out what to do with the program."

10 Things: "Ubuntu's most recent release offers numerous improvements over an already solid OS. In fact, Jack Wallen says it could be the best overall release of a Linux distribution he’s ever seen."

Alex on Linux: "This article extends optparse's documentation. optparse is a Python's module that allows your program to easily parse command line options it receives. In addition, it takes care of some of the very common tasks, such as handling -h command line option."

LinuxPlanet: "Installing Linux is pretty easy, but what options are there for users who want Linux already installed on a computer? Carla Schroder reveals several excellent, affordable options, plus tips and tricks for learning Linux quickly."

/dev/Kico: "But there's something about Firebird that always bothered me: why so few developers actually know and use Firebird? Basically (at least here in Brazil) I only see it being used among Delphi developers. Why isn't it as popular as MySQL or PostgreSQL?"

Netstat-vat: "Mozilla is updating both its stable version of Firefox as well as its in-development version. The new stable Firefox version 3.0.10 is a bit of surprise considering that Mozilla just issued 3.0.9 last week."

FCM: "The enterprise space holds the greatest unrealized potential for open source. I think everyone agrees that true enterprise capable solutions have been the weakest point in the open source cms space. That is, however, changing."

Cracked: "We asked you to show us what the world might look like if it really did run on Microsoft. The winner is below, but first the runners up."

The Linux and Unix Menagerie: "Most folks, at least initially, consider /dev/null and /dev/zero to be virtually equivalent. And, even though the names make that conclusion seem self-evident, the truth is actually quite the opposite. The two files differ quite drastically, although not in every aspect."

Cyber Cynic: "Things have been calm lately, but recently, Eric S. Raymond, co-founder of the OSI (Open Source Initiative), has thrown a match on the gasoline again in an essay entitled, The Economic Case Against the GPL."

OpenOffice.org Training: "I'm sure there are many reasons for Oracle buying Sun. You might not be having meetings this week about OpenOffice.org. You might be having meetings next week about spinning it off into a foundation. But if you keep interest or control over OpenOffice.org, please consider the following."

Linux Journal: "Although rarely used, the bash declare statement does have a couple useful options. It can mark a variable as read only and also mark it as being a number only."

EW Blogs: "How far should Microsoft feel threatened by Linux? Quite a bit, if ARM's CEO Warren East is to be believed."

NetworkWorld: "We can't test whether Linux is compatible with hardware and compatibility can be problematic with Linux."

Tux Radar: "At the time of writing, there are three hundred and twenty three distributions being tracked on distrowatch.com. There's one called Ehad. And another is called Estrella Roja. Many include the letter 'X' in their name, and many feature hand-drawn mascots and disparate communities. Not all are Linux-based, and not all are actively development, but the overwhelming majority are. This is the world of choice, and it's a world made possible by free and open source software."

Technology & Business: "How much do you know about where the company is today and where it has come from?"

LinuxDevices: "Socket Mobile has joined the trend of offering Linux support for WiFi cards by announcing Linux drivers for its Go Wi-Fi SDIO WLAN cards and modules. The drivers will be offered via a partnership with Embwise, which is porting its SDIOWorx stack to the devices."

EnterpriseStorageForum: "Three-dimensional data storage has been a dream since the early 1960s, but GE thinks it's the company to finally make the technology realize its promise."
