Open Source

Some More Random Links Proof that you can make a living doing ANYTHING you are passionate about. Hate RPMs?  You aren't alone.  Look at Debian, Gentoo or FreeBSD.  If this didn't mean a damn thing to you... You are so lucky.  One of my favorite, realistic SysAdmins currently really likes Gentoo so that impresses me (rule of thumb on complex geek issues -- find geeks you look up to on that issue and emulate them -- it usually works pretty well). An interesting response to the currently sponsored Anti Linux paper by ADTI. Blogging at OSCON. The 5th fastest growing company in Central Florida?  An open source consulting company.  Now that is surprising --- even to me. Different options for hosting automation: www.ensim.com, www.sphera.com, www.plesk.com.  My thoughts on them?  None of the above.  And I have a strong distaste for Ensim.  Very strong.  It's always troubling to me when the proprietary software seems to have few to no advantages over open source alternatives. Support UserFriendly!  A very cool online comic strip.  Thanks Cory! Oh crap.  Now the RIAA wants to TAX used CDs.  RIAA = Clue Free and Proud of It.  Business models change over time.  Yours needs to change.  Please accept it and move forward. Ok.  Scoble has the single best, most honest commentary on stock options I've ever been lucky enough to read.  Thanks! A really, really good tutorial on CVS. 8:25:10 AM
