Linux needs more great weeks Sanctions against Microsoft and market momentum won't guarantee the Windows rival's future on desktop PCs 03/27/04 MATTHEW FORDAHL SAN JOSE, Calif. -- It might have seemed to be the best possible week for boosters of the Linux open-source operating system. As their nemesis, Microsoft, was sanctioned by the European Commission for anticompetitive trespasses, computer giant Hewlett-Packard Co. gave Linux a new vote of confidence, and the largest Linux distributor posted strong financial results. http://www.oregonlive.com/business/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/business/10803… -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

gnu/linux on NT..:D
by Trevor Warren 27 Mar '04

... "If Linux runs on every architecture, why should another operating system be in its way? " ... Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see Screenshots). http://www.colinux.org/ -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Linux Command Docs
by suhas prabhu 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

Dear Friends, I remember that there was a discussion some months back -- something about wanting docs for RHCE. Well I have a four PDF Docs on The Essential Command Line a.k.a The Linux Commands Primer by Mr N Deepak ( www.ndeepak.info). It is released under the GNU Free Documentation License. The original docs were in a zipped text format. I copied them to The OpenOffice.org Writer and exported them to PDFs. I am attaching them as the folowing four files- 1) 1-intro.pdf 2) 2-imp_cmds.pdf 3) 3-advanced 4) 4-vi-emacs.pdf I am sure this will also be useful to all those who want to seriously master the command line & for RHCE preparations. Please scan the files before downloading.I have scanned them before sending. I do not know whether attachments are allowed in this mailing list here or not. But if I have blundered here then apologies in advance to the list moderator. Hope everyone finds this useful. Regards, Suhas Win an evening with the Indian cricket captain: Yahoo! India Promos.
