Here's an interesting document I came across with when looking up information about Bash programming. For the most part I agree with him... based on my linux programming experience. I don't think [b]all[/b] Linux people "suck" as he put it, but I've come across more snobs in the Linux community …

If you want to practice unix programming, maybe do a few unix/linux scripts, or just test out some commands, Cygwin is the answer. Cygwin is the command.com for Unix. When you run it, it opens up a window like the DOS console, and you're ready to type out your commands. …

Well I finished my Linux/UNIX class turns out that Linux/UNIX class was all on the programming side not the systems administration side. Shell Programming blah blah blah I got one week left thank god.

If one thing should be at the forefront of every system administrators mind, then it is security. Microsoft has been taking a lot of flack about not being as secure as they could be, and there has been a market swing in the use of the Firefox web browsers as …

Any list of best or worst will have its opponents and proponents and I foresee that this list of worst Linux distributions will be no different. There were, at last count, almost 300 Linux distributions and they all can't be great. But, this list of Linux distributions are, in my …

What the hell is up with [URL="http://www.oracle.com"]Oracle[/URL] lately? First, they stopped giving away the Solaris operating system and now they have some big announcement planned for next week at the [URL="http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2010"]MySQL Conference[/URL].

Now that [URL="http://www.microsoft.com"]Microsoft[/URL]'s big operating systems, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, are on store shelves, is it time again for them to pick up the legal sledgehammer and go after Linux?

Is it true that, if you speak up for GNU/Linux on the Desktop, you get flamed? I just had a virtual conversation with someone who claims that this assertion is fact. I've never experienced this anti-Desktop Linux sentiment or maybe my memory has failed me. I don't think the Linux …

I just don't understand! It is starting to become an annoyance, it makes daniweb more of a forum entirely devoted to Linux. I'm tired of seeing `#!/xxx/xxx/xxx` at the start of every program. On windows, you just type out a program. Run it. Done. The operating system does not intefere …

I have a feeling that the desktop operating system as we know it is on its last leg.
