A movie we saw in the cinema yesterday, and which we can highly recommend, is “Up“.
Debian developer Patrick Schönfeld took this case and this mainboard to build a 15W PC. He describes his experiences with Debian on his blog.
The Center for networked systems has an interesting lecture about Facebook. Almost the whole open source stack can be downloaded here.
Open Source is hot these days - even the White House is now using it for their web site.
Always wanted to build a media center PC? Read this first.
Still contemplating to run out to the stores and to get Microsofts’ latest and greatest? Think again. The German BSI wouldn’t do it. They think its threat level is “4 high risk” (out of 1-5, with 5 being “very high”).
But of course, Microsoft isn’t alone in this - after all, software is only made by humans. Seems that Sun’s Java System Web Server has a hole as well.
And in case you didn’t know: you can read the daily security warnings concerning Linux and truly open source software at LWN. More - and also more positive - news from them are in their archives. This is a weekly must read.
A monthly one would be the Linux Gazette.
Enough for today…
