Back in 2007 we reported on Valve looking for a senior software engineer to port their Windows-base games to Linux, then in 2008 we said the Source Engine would be coming to Linux based upon our sources (something that we still believe in), later that year we also found a few Linux libraries with the Left 4 Dead game.

As we come to the end of Akkana Pecks excellent series on mastering GRUB2, its not clear what advantages it has over legacy GRUB, or even good old LILO. It seems its gone backwards. In todays installment we learn how to translate some common and mysterious error messages, and how to manage a multi-boot system with GRUB2.

Part of the repositioning of the KDE brands was choosing an appropriate #039;KDE Software Label#039; for developers working on applications outside the main KDE Software Compilation. Technology developed by KDE is used far and wide, as can be witnessed on kde-apps.org and other sites. Some of these applications are developed by people closely entrenched in the KDE community, others by developers who just happened to like KDE technology and don#039;t feel part of the KDE community in any big way. To allow authors to express their connection to the KDE community, the KDE community has chosen three appropriate labels. We are also presenting the first draft of a guide for distributors of KDE software on how to integrate their communications with our brands.

Heres an interesting story: Microsoft deciding to release some code as open source for all the right reasons (although theres still a fly in the ointment...).

The inability to play the latest off the shelf commercial games has been a thorn in the side of Linux for a long time. With companies such as Valve starting to embrace other platforms, will that be the catalyst Linux needs to become a first class citizen?

For a few years I have been trying to create a distributed cluster storage system (see below) on standard Linux hardware. I have been unsuccessful. I have looked into buying one and they do exist, but are so expensive I cant afford one. They also are designed for much larger enterprises and have tons of features I dont want or need. I am hoping the Linux community can help me create this low cost distributed cluster storage system which I think other small businesses could use. Please help me solve this so we can publish the solution to the open source community.

Few people understand Microsoft better than Tandy Trower, who worked at the company from 1981-2009. Trower was the product manager who ultimately shipped Windows 1.0, an endeavour that some advised him was a path toward a ruined career. Four product managers had already tried and failed to ship Windows before him, and he initially thought that he was being assigned an impossible task. In this follow-up to yesterday’s story on the future of Windows, Trower recounts the inside story of his experience in transforming Windows from vaporware into a product that has left an unmistakable imprint on the world, 25 years after it was first released. brp small[Not Linux or FOSS related, but interesting history I think - Tracyanne]/smallp
