Some updates from the August 2002 issue of DeveloperIQ www.developeriq.com
* LINUXmag section has a special article on how to
compile your own Linux kernel, by Philip de Groot.Get
better hardware support by compiling your kernel... or
move to a more faster and stable kernel.
* On the CD: Corel Photo-Paint 9 for Linux.
* Editorial: Microsoft is learning a few tricks from the
Open Source space (by Ramdas S ramdas@developeriq.com)
"You would not get the source code of any Microsoft products
at least as of now! The strategy is to offer free products
in space where the competition from Open Source is strong
to match in offerings. The new ASP.Net Web Matrix, which
supports ASP programming, is now freely available.And
Microsoft is backing it up with support, unlike the
Open Source Community." (Whatever this is supposed to mean!!!FN)
* Ramdas says: "At the point of writing, we were trying to
figure whether we could connect it to MySQL on Windows
instead of the more expensive MS SQL server..." (So, the
freedom of affordability is important too ;-)
