Oh Gentoo, what had become of thee?
2008-04-23 15:25:00 Dear friendsYesterday was an important day for me. I stumbled into a very important issue, albeit small, which made me to come to the following decision: I am leaving Gentoo as a desktop platform.It does not come as an easy decision. I've been using Gentoo and quasi-actively participating in the community for about 5 years. I have it installed currently on 3 out of 4 computers I have (the last one being mac mini, which I keep with Mac OS X). So why would I take this decision?It all began with a one simple thing. You may have read my previous posts on various WINE installations, and I use some Windows applications with WINE. But recently Internet Explorer stopped working. I've tried to reinstall it (and it is easy in Gentoo, just as in any other Linux distribution with decent package manager), but to no avail.Next step was slightly more complicated, but still quite simple: I've used VMWare to install complete Window XP environment. It worked fine for awhile, until I couldn't use ...
Linux on the desktop now!
2008-04-21 10:32:00 Hello allI just read an article, where Novell's CEO says that Linux will not be on the consumer desktop in at least for another 3 years. And that made me think.We, users of Linux and open source software, would be happy to see everyone using Linux. We use it every day ourselves. And we're happy with it. Dell is installing Ubuntu Linux on various models, and people are buying them, preferring this to installing it by themselves. IBM, Sun and other vendors provide Linux systems just as they do Windows-based ones. Isn't this a nice trend that shows readiness of an operating system and its acceptance by vendors?With this trend, how can it be that Linux on the desktop will take another 3-4 years? And what does it mean exactly? Linux desktop share currently stands about 3-4% of total desktop installations. Another 3-4% goes to Apple Mac OS X installations, another similar share to other alternative operating systems (such as Free/Net/OpenBSD, BeOs, Haiku, OpenSolaris, etc).But Windows ...

Is Open Source Recession-Proof?
2007-11-13 16:47:00 Lofty oil prices. Sub-prime mortgage woes. Financial companies (Citigroup, Etrade) stumbling badly. Ouch. Ouch. And Ouch. Whispers of a potential recession ahead continue.

Novell: The Avis of Open Source?
2007-11-12 19:55:00 Whenever The VAR Guy hears chatter about Novell, he thinks of Avis -- the Number 2 rental car company that proudly declares "We try harder" as it pursues the market leader (Hertz, er, Red Hat). Hmmm. Is 2008 the year that all of Novell's hard work in the open source market finally pushes the company into the fast lane? UBS, the Wall Street analyst firm seems to think so. But The VAR Guy isn't so sure.

Dell?s Potential Acquisition Targets
2007-11-08 16:18:00 The following blog entry is a theory -- rather than fact -- from The VAR Guy.

Ultimately, the king of direct sales will need to offer face-to-face support to small and mid-size businesses (SMBs). Here's how The VAR Guy expects that strategy to play out -- along with at least two potential acquisition targets for Dell.

De Linux-distributeur zegt Xen tóch nog aan de huidige versie te hebben toegevoegd omdat ze bestaande versies van RHEL ? ondanks naderende updates ? in leven wil houden.

Microsoft says it's willing, but Red Hat rejects alliance
2006-12-02 16:15:08 Offer follows deal to make Linux, Windows compatibleMicrosoft Corp., which has agreed with Novell Inc. to make Linux and Windows compatible, opened the door Thursday to a similar alliance with Red Hat Inc. "We are willing to do the same deal with Red Hat Linux and other Linux distributors," Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said at an SQL database software conference in Seattle. Microsoft and Novell agreed two weeks ago to enable their software to co-exist on a single server computer in response to demands from customers who are increasingly using both. The agreement, which dulled a longstanding rivalry between Microsoft and Linux, also came as Oracle Corp. boosted its Linux efforts, threatening both Microsoft and Novell. Ballmer, responding to an audience member's suggestion that the deal might reflect Microsoft "selling out," said it was necessary to keep customers happy. To illustrate his point, he polled the audience of several hundred customers of SQL Server, Microsoft'...
