Subject: 24 Peachy Free Linux Games (Part 3 of 4)

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

Even though there are many top-quality open source games available for Linux, the operating system is still vastly underrated as a gaming platform. Encouragingly, we have seen developers of some of the most popular commercial gaming titles embrace Linux. The welcoming hand that Valve has extended, developing a Linux native version of their Steam client and porting their back catalogue, should accelerate takeup of Linux as a real gaming platform. But it is important that Linux developers do not neglect what has made it a success; high quality open source software.

Subject: Open Source & Big Data: DataStax Expands Hadoop, Cassandra in Europe

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

Big Data is becoming a big deal beyond the United States, and it's time for the international software market to pay attention. The latest evidence: DataStax, which provides enterprise database management services based on open-source software. The company is making an aggressive push into the European market in what may be the first move toward a greater presence throughout the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region as a whole.

Subject: Review: Korora 18 "Flo" KDE

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

In the last week of classes, since finished all of my assignments, I have had a little time to do some distribution reviews before starting to prepare for final exams. The second such review is of the KDE edition of Korora 18 "Flo". I have reviewed Korora before. Back then it was called Kororaa (with an extra 'a'), so I guess the name was shortened in a manner similar to that of Facebook (from "TheFacebook"). It's a distribution that essentially offers a bunch of niceties on top of Fedora with GNOME or KDE. This time I tried just the KDE version.

Subject: Computers are today's pencils

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

Not everyone has a computer. And, not all schools have access to the types of technology that are second nature to many of us at our workplace. It is also true that many people in the general public don't know about open source and the free alternatives that are available to them, like LibreOffice instead of Micrsoft Word.
