old style linuxBelow are some Linux news which were on top 10 years ago at e-news sites of of that time. Preparing this post I didn’t know that it would be so interesting and cognitive operation to dig in old news, to find workable links to headlines below. Well, sometimes this is more interesting and astonishing than we can find today in e-newspapers…

  1. Hats off to Linux!. Intel and Netscape have announced investments in a small company developing the Linux operating system (RedHat).
  2. Apache 1.3.2 is released. Upgrade now!
  3. Microsoft questions Linux’s free model. Rich Gray, intellectual property attorney, thinks that the Linux model may not last.
  4. MCI WorldCom Exec On Linux: Not So Fast. Uunet has not yet decided whether to deploy Linux.
  5. Caldera announces partnership with Sybase.

    Caldera has made two announcements today: They will be shipping Sybase with their next release of OpenLinux, and OpenLinux 1.3 will be out on September 28th 1998.

Below are the links which caught my eye this week, I hope that some of them will be useful and interesting for you…

  1. Canonical Store is to sell multimedia codecs for Ubuntu. Codecs are developed by Fluendo and Cyberlink. It is still possible to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and get that staff installed…
  2. In A comparative look at compact sysadmin distributions article Cory Buford shares the observations he got during review of several portable (not more 210 Mb) Linux distros which may be helpful to handle “minor catastrophes”. BTW I prefer RIPLinuX :)
  3. T-Mobile, Google and HTC announce that first phone based on Android platform will be out next week (23th of September 2008).
  4. Google is going to launch its own “computer navy” (sea floating data centres). Now jokes - rumors.
  5. Codeweavers company has adapted Google Chrome browser for Linux and Mac platform.
  6. Mozilla asks to display firefox EULA in Ubuntu 8.10. Some people are really disturbed about that.
  7. XFCE 4.6 first alpha is out for public testing.

And we just launched Linux and Open Source News aggregator at Linux Screw, so you are welcome to set it your homepage ;)
