Why we love Ubuntu Linux (or maybe we don't)
http://www.itwire.com –
With Ubuntu 8.04 now on the streets, it’s time to catch a breather and reflect on just why Ubuntu gets all the hype. Why is Ubuntu the hottest brand in Linuxdom at this time? Why is it the distro most frequently advocated? I posed these questions to readers and LUG members; here’s the feedback from real-life Linux users.

gNewSense 2.0 (deltah) Review
http://server.ericsbinaryworld.com –
So gNewSense 2.0 came out a few days ago as the gNewSense crew is tracking Ubuntu LTS releases. Of course, the bad part is that there is no upgrade path from gNewSense 1.0 to 2.0. Ubuntu recommends upgrading by going from release to release so upgrading is not feasible (or is too hard for the developers to implement) so freedom lovers need to have a good backup strategy.

How Microsoft Uses Open Against Open
http://opendotdotdot.blogspot.com –
To my shame, Peter Murray-Rust put up a reply to my post below in just a few hours, where it had taken me days to answer his original posting. So with this reply to his reply, I'm trying to do better.

A Word in Your Ear

A little while back I gave Peter Murray-Rust a hard time for daring to suggest that OOXML might be acceptable for archiving purposes. Here's his response to that lambasting:

Microsoft: Hero in Its Own Mind
http://boycottnovell.com –
A couple of days ago we mentioned concerns in the US about China’s development of its own standards in isolation (i.e. Microsoft style, because great connected minds think alike). Andy Updegrove has posted a link to this good article.

Ubuntu Open Week unites community and developers
http://www.linux.com –
What's the next best thing for Linux users who can't attend an open source community conference in person? Online workshops like last week's Ubuntu Open Week, where upwards of 300 participants per session showed up to learn more about the popular Linux distribution, the community, and its teams.

Novell and SCO: A Final Shakedown
http://boycottnovell.com –
SCO is definitely beyond this Web site’s scope, but recently there has been a great deal of Novell in that saga. There are things there which have future implications on Novell, SUE Linux [sic], and other GNU/Linux distributions. We covered some of the latest in last week’s cumulative report, so let’s look at more recent articles and consider portions of them.

Leaked Memo Reveals Microsoft’s Latest Anti-GNU/Linux Moves
http://boycottnovell.com –
This one has been circulating for the past few hours (also sent to Groklaw and added by now). The articles really speak for themselves and they all originate from (or cite) IDG. Although it is not related to Novell, it sure relates to anti-consumer — and probably anti-competitive too — moves from Microsoft.

Quick Mention: What on Earth is Microsoft Doing to Fine Wine?
http://boycottnovell.com –
A colleague of mine at the office has just told me that Microsoft is scanning the Registry files to ensure there’s no Wine in there. Wine has just reached RC of the highly-anticipated version 1.0 [*], but the issue was brought up an hour ago for other reasons.

Millionaires, Billionaires, and Open Source
http://practical-tech.com –
Thanks to a recent column by my friend Andy Patrizio, I found out that there’s “been an ongoing debate among bloggers and industry observers over one simple question: Where are the open source billionaires?” OK, I’ll buy that some people think that’s a real question, but I think it says more about they don’t understand the connection between software development genius and what it take

http://www.cnet.com –
Sifting through the news from JavaOne this week, I can't help but wonder when we'll stop developing our personal silos and truly get into community. Sun is a wonderful company, but I'm with Zonker on this one: Do we really need another operating system, application server, RIA platform, etc.
