This coming Monday, May 11th, marks the start of the first annual openSUSE Community Week (http://news.opensuse.org/2009/05/07/get-ready-for-opensuse-community-week/), an event conceived of by...

I have an Asus Eee running Linux and it's a very good machine. The whole idea with a net book is that you use it mostly to access the internet. If you are using internet-based apps with it, then the...

Great post, Ken. Loved it. Nice job.

Bernie:
Thanks for the comment. You have to worry about licenses regardless of the type of software, so in my view, the license concern is nothing more than a red herring. The GPL is very clear and...

Good way to get yourself kicked out of the community, Dude. This kind of self promotion in the comments section in DaniWeb blogs is completely unacceptable.

There are number of factors coming together that lead me to believe that open source's moment is right now, today, this year. Open source already runs so many things and just last week as Barack...

Hi Ken:
Great list. By the way, you can get an Eee for a lot less than $675. You can get one back a couple of revs for half that and a decent one for $400. As for TiVo I highly recommend it. I love...

Hey Eddie:
The newest version of the Eee, the 901 will also ship with the Atom chip set. Its release is imminent, whenever that it is. :)

I don't think it has to be necessarily an absolute situation. It may be that many people use the internet to conduct most of their business and access most of their applications and information, but...

I'm not saying it's necessarily going to be Google, but having an online back up of your files makes a lot of sense to me. If you want to look at this as a mainframe model, I suppose there's some...

I’ve found myself using online apps more and more lately. Whether it’s Google Reader, the Daniweb blogging tool, my online calendar or Facebook, I’m spending more time in my browser and less time...
