The TechZone shows 10 Reasons Why You Should Adopt LINUX
The number one reason why Linux is the choice of many is the freedom it gives. It "let's you do everything you want to do" but this is not the only aspect of this freedom. Linux liberates you from the yoke of vendors who hurl unwanted updates your way, and frees you from the sight of the horrible blue screens of death and its likes. This precious freedom doesn't cost you a penny. You can download a free distribution of Linux from the internet. Otherwise, you can get a CD from the market after spending a minimal amount of money and without worrying about the licensing fees or about violating the piracy laws because Linux is open source and it comes with GNU General Public License. This is its true beauty and the reason why Linus Torvalds and the whole Linux community, working to make things better, have many admirers.10 Reasons Why You Should Adopt LINUX

GARNOME 2.11.91 has been released:
This release incorporates all of the GNOME 2.11.91 (aka. Beta 2) Desktop and Developer Platform, including glib/gtk+ 2.7.x and cairo.
This release has also had a little more polish to ensure that the build system builds and links against things in your GARNOME directory, and not your system one, hopefully cutting down on errors relating to pesky '.la files' that some distributions insist on shipping in their -devel packages.
That said -- and while this release has actually been more stringently tested than it's snapshot counterpart -- it's still likely to do things that are weird and unexpected ... maybe ... that's just the nature of the beast.
In particular, GCC 4.x users may want to take a look at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309661 and then uncomment the CFLAGS workaround in your gar.conf.mk file before beginning your build.

KDE 3.5 Alpha has been released:
KDE 3.5 Alpha source tarballs are up on the FTP servers. It's really Alpha quality so you don't will see a big announcement splash for it. One day before tagging KMail got completely messed up. When it was tagged two modules didn't compile at all. Several modules don't compile with --enable-final, Coolo ultimately gave up on fixing it. This week there were problems with the bandwidth of a server feeding the FTP mirrors so enough reasons for the long delay already. openSUSE going live with SUSE 10.0 Beta and people watching reactions for sure didn't speed things up either.

Announcing CentOS 3 i386 Cluster Suite (CS) and Global File System (GFS)
CentOS csgfs is now available for CentOS-3 i386. This is a built from source found here:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/3/en/RHCS/i386/SRPMS/

CentOS-3 csgfs combines both the Cluster Suite 3 (CS) and the Global File System 6.0 (GFS) into a single directory (csgfs). This makes it convenient if you use both but you can still use just the CS or the GFS on their own as you require.
