The GNU/Linux Desktop: Nine Myths
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday March 17, 2009
Nobody questions whether Mac OS X is ready for the desktop. Never mind that switching to it involves learning different assumptions and tools and a new desktop. It has a reputation for being user-friendly, and is backed by a proprietary company, just like Windows.

Renumbering Firebug Releases?
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday March 17, 2009
While I still don't get why Firefox is renumbering its next release to 3.5, the discussion did make me think about the Firebug version numbering. Our current user release is 1.3.3 which targets Firefox 3.0.4+. Our next release is 1.4 and we will be targeting Firefox 3.5. These Firebug major release numbers have very little information content. Firebug 1.n is just the n-th release since 1.0.

Why I find MySQL to be so bad
Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday March 17, 2009
MySQL is the most used Open Source database engine. I have personally used it for almost 10 years. I worked with versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x of MySQL, but I also used other database engines, some of them handling the same "data-set size" as MySQL, while others have been smaller databases (mostly Desktop based databases such as SQLite, MS-Access and Paradox).

PCLinuxOS 2009.1 released
Submitted by Webmaster on Thursday March 12, 2009
One month after the PCLinuxOS beta was released, the PCLinuxOS developers have released version 2009.1. The final release includes the 2.6.26.8 kernel, KDE 3.5.10, Java JRE, Compiz-Fusion 3D, OpenOffice 3.0, Firefox 3.0.7 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.14. The developers decided to use KDE 3.5.10 as their default desktop because the latest version, 4.2, did not provide the functionality that they desired. KDE 4.2, however, is an optional install in the distribution's repositories.
