Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux
by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004)
O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on
my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the
"bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use
large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project
How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes
more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor
myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information.
Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an
apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length.

And this event should be a paid event so that the money collected could
go to FSF India. FSF India is really starved of funds.

We can aim to lay the ground work for a 2 day commercial event ourselves.
Learning from the same a larger event can always be scaled to.
Besides the funds generated can always be pumped back to fsf.

Hello Luggers,
My query is withe respect to JAVA Native Interfcae (JNI) on Linux
A JNI call is an inproc or outproc call?
My thought: Its an inproc call.
Any java application has at least one instance of JVM (a process).
All the java byte code would be executed using functions in libjvm.so and other helper shared libs.
A System.loadLibrary() call will invoke some func in libjvm.so (or other helper) and do the task of making the said library available to the current JVM (I.e. the .so will be loaded in JVM process 's address space)
Thus a native method call would be an inprocess call.
Is my thinking correct?Indiatimes Email now powered by APIC Advantage. Help!

you can just do a "$cat /proc/version" to know the version
of the source the running kernel has been built from.

Six barriers to open source adoption
By Dan Farber
March 20, 2004
We all know about the benefits of open source software in lowering total
cost of ownership, offering more choice and the increasing quality and
functionality of the code. The rise of Linux as an edge server and now
migrating toward the data center is clear validation that the open source
model has taken root.

Torvalds: Outside threats to Linux
ZDNet (UK)
Linux creator Linus Torvalds says that non-technical issues such as
software patents constitute the single biggest threat to the future
success of the open-source OS.
