[x-posted] 'Moonlight' sannata waltzes with GnuLinux
by Linux Lingam 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

dear all, this is rather impressive! 'moonlight' is a drop-in replacement for silverlight, and runs on linux. http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight "Mono is the GPL'd EMCA implementation of the .NET Framework for Linux. Moonlight is the new Silverlight-compatible runtime for the *nix world." a blog here mentions the plight of mono's developers. http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/mono-doesnt-get-enough-credit/ what's missing, the sounds of applause, appreciation, support, and encouragement for moonlight. hence 'sannata' a hindi word that means 'soundless' or 'silence'. :-) niyam

Will The Real Open Source CRM Please Stand Up?
by Praveen A 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

"Open Source has grown up. Now it is time for us to stand up. I believe that when we do, the vendors who ignore our norms will suddenly recognize that they really do need to make a choice: to label their software correctly and honestly, or to license it with an OSI-approved license that matches their open source label. And when they choose the latter, I'll give them a shout out, as history shows. Please join me, stand up, and make your voice heard--enough is enough." by Michael Tiemann, President, Open Source Initiative Read the complete blog post http://opensource.org/node/163 Also on digg http://digg.com/linux_unix/The_Open_Source_Initiative_Finds_Its_Backbone Cheers Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Simplified Grub
by Mani A 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Rescue tasks with Grub can be a bit hard at times. The Super Grub Disk project has been doing well. http://sgd.howto-linux.de/download/ Recommended for faster rescue operations. .. (especially if you have to deal with unknown operating systems like M$-Windows and MS-DOG on systems with the latest Linux systems) Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math. Soc

Fwd : AMD stuff
by Mani A 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

Yes they really need to review their Linux strategy. M$ is also going to stop selling the windows OS and move over to Linspire (the closed source version). Hopefully AMD will open source everything. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dotan Cohen <dotancohen(a)gmail.com> Date: Jun 15, 2007 4:09 AM Subject: [users] AMD deciding _now_ what to do about Linux To: I wrote to AMD regarding the state of ATI Linux drivers and the company's view of the Linux community. This is the response I got: "Thanks - could you contact us again in July? We're reviewing our Linux strategy right now, so anything I tell you know could be out of date in weeks." You can read the whole message here: http://dotancohen.com/eng/linux_compatibility.php Feel free to Digg or /. it. Friends, NOW is the time to contact AMD and to let them know that we need their support. Please, write to them, call them, now is the time. Even for those who don't use AMD products, the precedent set here will most certainly echo throughout the hardware world. Take the 5 minutes and convince AMD that the Linux community cannot be ignored. Note: I have posted this letter to several mailing lists. Those who know me from those lists will know that I don't, as a rule, crosspost. However, I felt this to be important enough to cross the line and crosspost to the lists I felt would be interested.
