PHP timestamp difference on Linux and Windows systems

by pankaj＠glug4muz.org

Hi, When I am executing a php code like below: <?php $timestamp=mktime(0,0,0,3,1,2011); echo $timestamp; ?> on Linux and Windows system then there is always a difference of 19800 in output. The result shown on Linux system is always 19800 less than the value displayed on Windows system. But theoretically output on both systems should be same because the number of seconds elapsed since 01/01/1970 to 03/01/2011 should always be same on both operating systems. Can any one please explain the reason behind this difference. -- Best Regards ... Pankaj Kumar

Internet speed and connectivity issues

by Sahil Dave

Hi I am using Ubuntu 10.04(Lucid). My mtnl wireless connection was working pretty smoothly for a long time. Until recently when I had some landline issues. Now the connection seems to be experiencing some problems. Some observations: - Sites are taking more than expected time to open up - Facebook and Twitter not reachable at all (this might sound funny, but its true) I am using Firefox 3.6.15 What could be the problem? -- Sahil Dave

[Commercial] Muktware Anniversary and Foss Writing

by Swapnil

Hi, Sorry for bugging you again. Muktware will complete one year in April. It's an achievement for us, especially for me as after moving from India, and quitting LFY, it was a challenge for me to stay connected to the FOSS world and continue to contribute in the manner I could -- writing and publication. Today Muktware is a well known online publication. Thanks to a lot of LUG members who have been guiding me through this. To celebrate one year, we are increasing the payment per-article. Now we pay Rs 1,000 or US$ 20 per article. The minimum length is 750 words. We are inviting reviews of OpenSuse 11.4. Gnome 3 and other latest distros. We are also inviting columns on contemporary issues. Please help me continue this FOSS journey. PS: We are based out of Brussels, Belgium. If any of you have plans to visit Brussels, please get in touch. Best Swapnil Bhartiya

autocad alternative in linux

by Kussh Singh

I finally seem to have come across a viable alternative to autocad for linux. Its called bricscad and seems to be much much faster in linux/ubuntu. I have given it to some other people for evaluation purposes but it looks to finally help engg companies and technically minded people to now switch over more easily to linux. Its not free but still much affordable.--they say its one 15th the cost of autocad. Only Tally remains a barrier for the switchover from windows to linux for the general user at the small business office now--hopefully some alternative software for linux will soon come out so as to make the transition painless.
