August 2005 Archives January February March April May June July August September October November December In the not really not really in the news section Posted By Paul O'Malley - 18:50, 21 August 2005 Ubuntu, that distro that has taken the Linux world by storm in the last year has reached a 'testing milestone' on the way to its October release of the third edition 'Breezy Badger'. Colony-3 is the name of this test version. If you want to try it out burn the live CD version. It is several steps ahead of hoary, but like all betas has a little way to go yet. Have a look, you know you want to :). Say Yes With Linux Posted By Paul O'Malley - 18:45, 21 August 2005 Shock, shock, horror, horror, - well actually not. I was browsing the names of distros, as I do not have a life and I came across one with the name YES, which actually stands for Your E Sale, an internet presence for what the developer calls 'mom and pop' stores. I put it here for the headline. :) TCO is just plain silly Posted By Paul O'Malley - 11:39, 21 August 2005 Edited by Paul O'Malley - 11:39, 21 August 2005 In his Editor's Note: How Not to Define Linux Brian Proffitt Managing Editor of linuxtoday.com proves exactly how little TCO counts. So the phrase should be consigned to the bin. Now how about all those reports that 'measured' it in some independent way for Microsoft. Maybe we should give their authors a minor shout 'Oy your looking in the wrong place'. The basic argument is small or large measurements even across industry segments can't measure TCO. The reason cited is that no two companies get benefit in the same way. For what its worth I'm with the guy.

OSDL CEO Stuart Cohen Swipes at Naysayers (and there are lots :)) Posted By Paul O'Malley - 22:15, 8 August 2005 Stuart Cohen is quoted in an article on the newsforge site, and he does the rounds. He takes a side swipe at several critics of Linux, and in this writers opinion did it rather well. City moved to Linux and nobody noticed Posted By Paul O'Malley - 19:33, 6 August 2005 In this newsforge article you can read about a city that moved to Linux. The are reporting that for an install base of 300 desktop machines and 25 servers they have saved one hundred thousand US dollars per annum.
