Is Linux Lagging Behind After Its Initial Headway?
by Rony 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hello, Without trying to sound pessimistic, I get the feeling that Linux is lagging behind M$ and at a time when its chances of catching up were the best. The gaps that Linux had created in the M$ environment through alternate compatibility appear to be getting slowly filled by M$ through the process of vendor lock-in. Small changes are taking place but in a way that brings people back to Windows. My bank's netbanking website worked superbly in Linux but a recent upgrade in their software has made the entire system Windows IE7+ only. OpenOffice upto 3.3 is unable to save .docx files so it is being rendered useless for the new office systems. Mobile phones still come with Windows only software for their 'Suites' for full functionality on the pc. There is not much happening in accounting, architectural CAD and multi-media packages too, in a way that can replace the use of current commercial Windows based software. It looks like it has hit the pause button. The big Linux giants do not look interested either. -- Freedom is a shared resource. Take some, leave the rest for others. Please trim your replies.

Stopping monitor / pc from going into standby
by jtd＠mtnl.net.in 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

This is one mystery that I have failed to crack. in xorg.conf Section "ServerFlags" Option "blank time" "0" Option "standby time" "0" Option "suspend time" "0" Option "off time" "0" EndSection in the XFCE gui set everything to never. But the freakin thing will go into standby without mouse or keyboard activity. Monitor is a HDMI TV. The Monitor DOES NOT go into standby and will show check HDMI input. As an added consolation, the behaviour is the same with a regular TV with VGA input and a regular vga monitor. Motherboard Intel and AMD. Any suggestions.

The greedy Hollywood is about to change the world as we know it. The entertainment industry which is failing to keep up with the innovation and is relying on Flintstone's model is conspiring with the US congress to break the Internet and freedom on the web. http://www.muktware.com/blogs/2948 -- Swapnil Bhartiya Editor: Muktware.com Skype: No Way...its non-free.

German DSL router vendor AVM had attempted to stop Cybits, which produces children's Web-filtering software, from modifying any part of the firmware used in its routers, including a key piece of Linux-based free software.
