This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on Fedora 17. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this. I will outline two solutions: the first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server that has CGI support, while the second solution uses a CGI wrapper to serve CGI scripts.

Subject: Twists and Turns for Linux on Intel's Slippery Clover Trail
Given the shock they've had to endure as a result of the ongoing Secure Boot saga over the past year or so, Linux geeks may perhaps be forgiven if they're a tad sensitive to apparent attempts to exclude Linux from other new technological developments as well. It was perhaps less-than-entirely surprising, then, that FOSS fans reacted so swiftly to the initial news about Intel's Clover Trail Atom chip.

... We also have some people who have joined us that haven't been involved in upstream KDE very much but who are involved in Free software and use KDE technologies in various ways. One example of this is the Lernstick initiative which brings Free software (and KDE! :) to students around Switzerland in the form of a handy, self-contained USB stick.

After the release of Unity and Gnome Shell, XFCE gained more popularity, fans and support for being the reliable “traditional” desktop environment. Fast, modern, mature, light and beautiful, XFCE is naturally becoming the default DE on big distributions like Debian.This week we meet Nick Schermer for a quick interview about the present and future development situations and plans of the XFCE project.

Gestures in KDE Plasma aren't just tied to the browser, but pretty much anything in the desktop environment. With a few flicks of the mouse, you can make magic happen across your desktop.

Subject: A "Dream Act" Executive Order for Cybersecurity?
We all know that the threat of cyber attack is growing dramatically (don’t we?), and that the most urgent duty of government is to protect the populace (isn’t it?) Assuming that’s the case, how are we to explain the recent collapse of an effort to pass essential cybersecurity legislation? And what, if anything, can be done about it?

Vector Linux is a distro that has been around for quite a long time. It is based on Slackware, with Xcfe, KDE and LXDE as the available desktop environments. According to the official website, the aim of Vector is to keep the distro simple and small and let the end user decide what their operating system is going to be.

Recently a discussion in Gnome Mailing Lists took place about sync Files with OwnCloud. That might isn’t interesting to the most of us -besides who will abandon Google Drive, Ubuntu One, DropBox for a personal cloud storage service?As I have set up lots of OwnCloud instances for companies that I work for, the answer is simple. Companies are way too interested for this, because OwnCloud offers the ultimate Open Source solution for storing and managing files.

The 1.4 branch of KDE’s music player Amarok is admittedly the best music player that ever existed :) Unfortunately, the Amarok developers decided that it was too good to be true and they destroyed it with version 2.0, but Clementine did the trick by forking 1.4 and evolving into an even greater music player. Clementine uses Qt though, and we don’t prefer this toolkit in our system…so what about an Amarok 1.4 “clone” that uses GTK?
