A Month later with Mandrake 10.1
********************************
I have updated my laptop to Mandrake 10.1 Official.
I was so impressed with the community edition that
I also changed my home server from Ubuntu 4.1 to
Mandrake 10.1 Official. I=92ve been using it on both
boxes for about a month now. I=92ve attempted to put
together a thorough review of my experiences using
Mandrake 10.1 Official on both of them for your
reading pleasure.
Installation:
There=92s little change in the installation since
Mandrake 10.1 Community. In all honesty, I think
Mandrake has one of the best installers of any
Linux distribution that I=92ve tried. Besides being
easy to use and having nice looking graphical
interface, two features that new Linux users will
find comforting, it also has one of the best hard
drive partitioners ....

Linux and Open Source: The 2005 Generation
******************************************
Sometimes people don't know when a revolution has
happened until afterwards. Then, the historians
tell us that 2004 was the year that open source
started to become computing's mainstream. Sounds
hard to believe? Well, IDC analyst Al Gillen
recently said that "Linux is no longer a fringe
player. Linux is now mainstream." He made that
observation because IDC's research predicts that
Linux's overall revenue for desktops, servers and
packaged software running on Linux will exceed $35
billion by 2008. That's a lot of money, even by
Bill Gates' piggybank standards.
Most of that growth, today, is on servers. It's
not just HP and Linux companies like Red Hat and
Novell that are greeting Linux with open arms. IBM,
Intel and Oracle have embraced Linux.....

Migrating to Linux: an organisational bible
*******************************************
IBM (which now sells and supports Linux on most of
its products) has produced a detailed 'RedBook' to
aid organisations thinking of migrating to Linux.
It's free, but a massive (5.3MB) download. Details
here. The Abstract reads:
"The goal of this IBM Redbook is to provide a technical
planning reference for IT organizations large or small
that are now considering a migration to Linux-based
personal computers. For Linux, there is a tremendous
amount of "how to" information available online that
addresses specific and very technical operating system
configuration issues, platform-specific installation
methods, user interface customizations, etc. This book
includes some technical "how to" as well, but the overall
focus of the content in this book is to walk the reader
through some of the important considerations and planning
issues you could encounter during a migration project.
Within the context of a pre-existing Microsoft Windows-
based environment, we attempt to present a more holistic,
end-to-end view of the technical challenges and methods
necessary to complete a successful migration to Linux-
based clients."

Does Linux Have Game?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Earlier this year, our Linux Comes to the Desktop
article caused a stir, when we stated that gaming
on a Linux platform remained a limited proposition.
Now it is time to detail why this is the case. We will
explore what is the best you can hope for when you opt
for the penguin to play Unreal and Doom III. We will
also look at why Linux lovers must be contented with
the state of things - for the time being, that is, because
things are looking up for the Linux gaming crowd.
So why is wide-scale gaming support for Linux not 100%
there? A better question may be: why would game developers
spend the money to add Linux functionality to games for a
limited number of users? The answer is not that simple,
especially since Linux desktop use continues to grow.
There are many reasons why you might want to shift from
Windows to a Linux OS. We won't cover what those reasons
might be in detail here, but will note that users routinely
complain of Windows instability....

Building a distro
*****************
You download a CD or maybe a diskette image, transfer
it to the appropriate media, boot your computer with it,
and voil=E0, you're running Linux. It sounds so simple --
but a great deal of work goes into creating that software.
Beginning about two years ago, I spent a year and a half
building a desktop-oriented GNU/Linux distribution named
MfxLinux, designed to be tightly integrated with Crowell
Systems' Medformix medical office management system. Along
the way, as with any project, a lot of design and
implementation decisions had to be made -- some of which
worked out better than others.
The first choice any potential distro creator needs to
address is whether to base the distro on an existing one
or build it from scratch. Unless you have encyclopedic
knowledge of Unix, a great deal of time or the need to
serve an extremely specialized environment, it is easier
to start with another distro...

Subject: UNDP releases primer on FOSS (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
The International Open Source Network, an initiative of the United Nations
Development Programme, has produced a 48-page primer on 'Free/Open Source
Software and Education', which is now available for free public download. The
primer is intended to help policy-makers and decision-makers understand the
potential use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in education.
Topics covered include where and how FOSS can be used, why it should be used,
and what issues are involved. The officials in ministries of education,
school and university administrators, academic staff and researchers should
find the primer particularly useful, according to the project. According to
the project's website www.iosn.net the primer is intended to be a living
document, constantly updated to reflect the latest information and available
to all.

SuitWatch--January 20
Views on Linux in Business
--by Doc Searls, Senior Editor of Linux Journal
_________________________________________________________________
Building a Better Relationship, One Conversation at a Time
Several thousand years ago, back in the mid-80s, I wrote a white paper
for Motorola Computer Systems--when there was such a thing--on
"Workgroup Computing". It got the attention of IDG, the big technology
magazine publisher, which invited me to Boston, where I addressed a
large crowd on the subject and experienced my first taste of punditry.
For a short while there, I was an Authority on "groupware".
Humility on the same subject was administered later by Reese Jones,
the founder and CEO of Farallon Computing. Reese was a brain
researcher at UC-Berkeley when he invented the PhoneNet connector and
found himself running a fast-growing start-up that became a client of
the PR agency I ran at the time. After reading my white paper, Reese
dismissed its conclusions so conclusively that I don't even remember
what they were.
What Reese taught me was this: people do not communicate in groups but
rather in pairs, even when the pair is one-to-many. Each of the many
is attending focally to only one voice, one source, at a time. They
have no choice about that, because the human brain isn't built to hear
and understand what many are saying at once. It can pick up some
generalities, perhaps, but not details.
Humans are conversing creatures, Reese told me. The fundamental social
structure is not the group, but the pair. That's why Reese's favorite
technology was not computing but telephony. In the long run, he said,
the software that mattered most would support the essentially
one-to-one, peer-to-peer nature of personal communication and of
personal relationships.
Without what I learned from Reese, I doubt I ever would have come up
with the line "Markets are conversations", which later became the
first thesis of The Cluetrain Manifesto:
http://cluetrain.com/.
That phrase was uttered again last November by J.P. Rangaswami, CIO of
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DrKW):
http://www.drkw.com/, at the Cal-IT:
http://www.cal-it.com/ Europe Forum in London. Rangaswami's emphasis
was on relationships between two parties in the IT marketplace:
vendors and customers. "There is a growing sense that things are
changing", he said. Those changes pointed toward the "removal of two
classes that stood in the way of the buyer"--the reseller and the
consultant. "The intermediate class is being driven out."
In its place, he said, is a new and more active relationship between
vendor and customer. "It is of value to me that I can understand the
culture of the firm. Company ethos helps select if the company is
congruent with my objectives as much as my management styles." To sum
it up, he said, "Relationship is not just a contract."
To J.P., relationship is involvement. Although companies such as his
are doing more DIY (do-it-yourself) work, they also are reaching out
to vendors who need help from customers in developing and adapting
their products. "Can you support it?" he asks. "If you can, come and
show us, then let's work on a pilot".
All of these quotes from J.P. come from notes taken:
http://ross.typepad.com/blog/2004/11/calit.html by Ross Mayfield:
http://ross.typepad.com/, founder and CEO of SocialText*:
http://www.socialtext.com, an "enterprise social software" company
that counts Rangaswami and DrKW among its customers. (Disclosure: I'm
on the SocialText advisory board.) One reason for this connection is a
shared interest in open-source development, Kwiki:
http://www.kwiki.org/, for example. Ross says, "J.P. became a customer
in part because they [DrKW] started off using our open-source Kwiki.
Now he values how it reduces lock-in." For his part, J.P. says (again
from Ross' notes), "Today, I need merit to be the sale. I will find
ways of consuming the merit...Make sure your product is great and
everything else follows".
Where does that greatness come from? How can a vendor make a great
product today? Do you get it by hunkering down in silence and coming
out with something really cool that you hope the customer likes and
buys? Or do you get it by talking with customers all through the
development process, so your product has merit that the likes of J.P.
and DrKW can consume?
I think conditions in the past may have favored the former but
conditions now--in networked markets where everybody is one click away
from each other--favor the latter.
Phil Windley:
http://windley.com/, Associate Professor of Computer Science at
Brigham Young University and former CIO of Utah, says:
There was this feeling I had frequently when I was CIO. Vendors
would come in and say, "Tell me about your objectives". I always
hated that because most of the time I could tell they didn't really
care. Instead they were like my teenager trying to sell me on
something. No matter what I said my objectives were, they'd tell me
how their product met them.
I had one guy who wasn't like that, though. He'd show up and bring
a white paper (usually not from his company) about something he'd
seen that he knew I was interested in; and we'd discuss it. We
developed a relationship. And I appreciated [him] for that.
Eventually he had something he sold me.
Conversation used to be optional. Now it's mandatory. Tom Limoncelli:
http://www.everythingsysadmin.com/, co-author of The Practice of
System Administration:
http://www.everythingsysadmin.com/aboutbook.html, and Director of IT
Services at Cibernet Corp:
http://www.cibernet.com/., says, "When I'm on the phone with a vendor,
I usually am surfing his competitor's Web site while talking with
him". His point, however, is not about kicking tires. It's about a
better kind of leverage. "In this networked market", he adds, "There
are no secrets--only relationships."
