Linux : Opinions : Why Linux is like pizza
By Posted: ( Fri 20th Jul 2001 01:29:53[AM] UTC )
The existence different distributions of Linux have always given rise of conflicting views. Some feel that this leads to fragmentation and is therefore bad. Whereas there are others who feel that these actually enhance the product and help to customize it.So they are good for Linux's growth Evan Leibovitch, in defense of Linux and its various distros, likens it to a pizza. An interesting thought.

Linux : Howtos : Exorcise FTP, Telnet And Other Evil Daemons
By Posted: ( Wed 11th Jul 2001 08:44:17[PM] UTC )
Telnet and ftp send passwords over the network in clear text that can be easily sniffed. You should replace them with more modern tools such as ssh and scp. SSLtelnet/SSLftp are also available but do not seem to be in such wide use.

Linux : Reviews : Abracadabra! The magic of Mandrake 8.0
By Posted: ( Thu 21st Jun 2001 11:18:42[PM] UTC )
Those of you, who recall our previous review on Mandrake 7.2, may remember our main grouse - a buggy and inconsistent install procedure. Now whether that was due to software bugs or a bad download was never resolved. We also got tons of comments from our readers some of who experienced the same problems. We faithfully forwarded the comments to the Mandrake team hoping for some reaction. Well, there were none forthcoming, however if this new release is an indication, it appears they do take their customers seriously. Mandrake 8.0, the Traktopel version is all that a newcomer to Linux could ask for and more. Who says the Linux desktop is dead!

Linux : Opinions : Freedom vs. Freedom
By Posted: ( Thu 21st Jun 2001 04:40:23[AM] UTC )
A new poll came up on my friend's site. Question - What's your software philosophy? My answer - Open Source. Response - disbelief. My friend could not believe that I would pick this option over GPL. As it turns out, if you answer GPL you get a big bear hug and the whole community rises to greet you. Any other answer gets you strange looks and requires an explanation. Here is my explanation.
