Many of the best-organised software projects around the world are the legions of free and open source offerings. This is in part due to one reason, namely the tight use of source code control and versioning systems to keep the code base clean and in a known state. If you’ve wanted access to the latest build of your favourite apps or if you want to contribute your own mods, the key is to master the source control suite. I’ll introduce Subversion and show you it’s actually pretty simple.

Last week I touched on some Microsoft backflipping over Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when it comes to Linux. It had been claimed that although Linux was a free operating system, Windows had a lower overall cost with all factors considered due to its greater ease of administration. Yet, this is no longer the case, with Microsoft’s server line now using a Bash-inspired command line system called PowerShell.

Let me set the record straight, giving real feedback from companies who have made the switch and don’t look back.

People are a funny lot. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. And one person’s primary means of instructing a computer is met with disdain by another. There’s a perennial battle between mousers and keyboard jockeys, and “what’s in” appears to go in cycles.

Welcome to my shiny new blog on ITWire. Pull up a chair, settle back and enjoy a glass from the Linux Distillery. Oh, if you have to drive, never fear: we’re distilling knowledge and experience. And talk about experience! Every scar on my hand tells a story. Every scar on my arm tells a story. Every scar on my – well, that’s another story!
