How two of the world's largest websites use Linux for high availability
By: David M Williams
Pop quiz: you have a web site and you want it to be popular. It must scale to tens, hundreds of thousands, even millions of visitors. It has to be snappy and responsive. What server platform will you host it on? Here’s what two of the world’s most popular sites – Wikipedia and Digg - went with, and it wasn’t Windows.

Watch TV with Linux
By: David M Williams
In our modern, and busy, world the separation between home computers and home entertainment systems is fast fading. Linux makes it a cinch to build your own PVR, allowing you to watch, pause and record live TV broadcasts.

Red Hat fesses up to Fedora FOSS security fiasco
By: Davey Winder
A week or so ago, end users of the Linux-based Red Hat Fedora OS were warned to avoid downloading packages due to an "issue in the infrastructure systems" which waved big red flags suggesting a security breach to many industry observers. Now Fedora has admitted Red Hat OpenSSH packages were compromised by two separate server intrusions...

How the World loves Linux, according to Google searches
By: Stuart Corner
Internet monitoring company, Pingdom, has plotted the popularity of the various Linux distributions by geography on the basis of how often their names are used in Google searches. Rigorous it may not be, but this 'distribution of distributions' is certainly fascinating.

It's not a clone, but it can run Mac OS X
By: Stephen Withers
"The lady doth protest too much," said one of Shakespeare's characters. So what are we to make of RSOL PC saying that even though its Jive Series PCs will run a modified version of Mac OS X, customers shouldn't do so?

Make Firefox fly: building from a minefield of source
By: David M Williams
The new, record breaking, Firefox 3 web browser is the fastest version of Firefox yet. But are you really getting the biggest bang for your buck (metaphorically speaking, because, of course, Firefox is free?) You can eke out a better disk and memory footprint and higher speeds by building it yourself from the original source code. I'll show you how, with genuine metrics to prove it.

Google spice brings out open source aroma
By: David M Williams
It's summer in the United States which means Google's annual season of code is in swing. This event has run over the past three years and is by all measures a successful happening. That it even happens is phenomenal enough and this year there's many great projects that will benefit, covering a wide range of fundamental open source applications as well as notable causes like the One Laptop per Child project.

Seeing Linux clearly: Demystifying KDE and GNOME
By: David M Williams
Ok, you have to give some kudos to Windows: everyone knows what a window is. In the Linux world, KDE and GNOME aren’t quite as obvious. A gnome stands in your garden or inhabits the World of Warcraft, and KDE doesn’t even spell a word. The truth is they’re the two major window environments for Linux today; if you don’t like one type of UI you have another. Here’s what they do, how they differ and how you can bend them to your will.
