Dear Readers,
With the Fedora team, as usual, pushing the release date of FC6 again and again (before finally releasing it on 24th and it getting available for download on 25th), we were left with no option but to go for the next most requested distro on the bulletinn board - Mandriva Linux 2007. This distro is a treat for users who like to work on multi-architecture platforms (32-bit and 64-bit).
Coming to the editorial highlights, we have a mega interview with Javed Tapia, founder Red Hat India, who speaks to the media for the first time after stepping down from his position of director - India. In the trends section, this month we discuss about the use of Linux in tghe supercomputing world.
We have two very interesting case studies this month, one that discusses the first mover advantage taken by Samsung by incorporating the 'Linux-compatible' logo in their printer advertisement and the other about Bombay high court adopting Linux/OSS.
In our opinions section, this month, the community opines on how whether IPR is a boon or a bane. Also, in the 'Down Memory Lane' series, we look at the history of the KDE project.
