"Someone asked me recently what I thought about about Django. I really like it, but I didn’t have an answer ready and completely bombed at answering that question. I ended up muttering a very profound, “Django is cool”. I truthfully stumbled upon Django, played with it a while, and spent the next 10 months writing a web app.

All Linux distributions have their own home base: their homepage. How well is this homepage taken care of and how well does it perform? To answer these questions we have monitored the uptime and load time of the homepages for 16 Linux distributions for a month.

"...This thesis is intended to answer the question «What are the important considerations in designing a text editor?» In answering this question, it will provide a reference document for would-be implementors of text editors..." -- http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/1721.1/15905/2/08327312-MIT.pdf

Social Source Commons is a place to share lists of software tools that you already use, gain knowledge and support, and discover new tools. It’s a place to meet people with similar needs and interests and answer the question: what tools do they use?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer has never been fully resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Linux has a bit of a chicken and egg quandary too. To compile a Linux distribution you need to start from Linux. However I am approaching this question from another angle.

Each year I pose the same question to you: If you could have anything, change anything, or do anything to or about Linux, what would you do? And each year, I get back the same answer: Games. Games. Games. It looks like 2D Boy may be answering your calls today.

This is a question I have fielded many times, it is one most new Linux users ask before they even download their first Linux ISO. There is a short answer and a long answer to this question.

"...We saw how Free Software has come to stay in Kerala. The natural question this raises is, “Why Kerala?” There is no other state in the country where Free Software has made an impact that is anywhere near that in Kerala. This itself could be the subject for an entire thesis, and this is certainly not the place to enter into a serious analysis of the question.

While Linux is taking the world by storm, I often get asked what the best version of Linux is for enterprises of all sizes. Red Hat, Suse and Ubuntu are always top notch distributions but then so are Fedora, CentOS, Mint, OpenSuse, and SlackWare. Which distro is the best depends largely on what software you will be running on your Linux installation.
