From the Free-Stuff Dept: Real World GoLive 6 (On The Web) [Boing-Boing] Very cool, and very nice for you GoLike addicts. I'm very interested to see far this whole "giving stuff away" thing goes. |
From the Bugs Dept: Slashdot | Bug Reporting Etiquette The basic jist of the article is: Don't Panic, and Please Tell Us (Exactly) What's Going On. As always with Slashdot some comments are very insightful as well (and some are just l4m3r d00ds). |

From the Linux Dept: Slashdot | TerraSoft Releases YellowDog Linux 3.0 w00t. Congrats to the team. |
