Linux OS Distribution Reviews
iWebServe’s Managed VPS Hosting packages are a cost effective substitute for shared/reseller hosting as well as Dedicated Servers with one major difference; managed VPS Hosting give you the flexibility and power of a dedicated server, without its high price. VPS’s are excellent for high resource web applications that demand more than a shared environment can empower. Great for the avid Blogger to step away from the shared hosting environment

Open source has long had a strong corporate element to it, perhaps starting in earnest when IBM pledged to spend $ 1bn on Linux back in 2000. Despite the benefits of corporate funding of open-source software – more money, more source code written – some question whether open source has become too corporate. For those who worry about the commercialisation of open source, I’d like to introduce you to Pedro Algarvio, contributor to the SaltStack project.

According to a 2012 survey of embedded engineers by both VDC Research and UBM Electronics, the use of Linux in embedded projects is increasing at a fast rate. UBM reported that some 35 percent of embedded developers are working on Linux projects and that number increases to 48 percent when Android is included. This is not a surprise to us. Increasingly, we have been working with companies big and small who are replacing proprietary embedded OS with Linux in our training and events programs, as well as membership. Among the reasons companies elect to use embedded Linux in their projects are the availability of the source code, the strength of the Linux community, the lower costs, and the availability of Linux developer talent (even though there is a lot of competition for good developers).

We’ve already brought you a lengthy interview and expansive rundown on the new additions of Crusader Kings 2?s Republic DLC expansion. But in the wake of its release, there’s some CK2 news housekeeping to be done. The big news is the addition of a Linux version, but instead I think we’ll kick off with the patch notes. They contain the sentence “Constantine de Hauteville is no longer female,” which is just too good to pass up.

For Linux users, the command line is a celebrated part of our entire experience. Unlike other popular operating systems, where the command line is a scary proposition for all but the most experienced veterans, in the Linux community, command-line use is encouraged. Often the command line can provide a more elegant and efficient solution when compared to doing a similar task with a graphical user interface.

It’s hard to believe that we’re only a couple of years into the OpenStack story. Back in 2010, Rackspace and NASA announced an effort to create a sophisticated open source cloud computing infrastructure that could compete with proprietary offerings. Since then, OpenStack has won over countless tech titans that are backing it, and has its own foundation.

If you’re a digital artist or designer, you’ve no doubt heard of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), often referred to as the preeminent open-source alternative to Photoshop. But did you know that you can extend GIMP’s features dramatically with a plugin called G’MIC?
