Having downloaded Firefox 2 RC3 and played around with it for a while I can say that the product feels very much like what I just had. It definitely feels faster, there are some subtle cosmetic changes and some nice new time-saving features but at first glance the latest Firefox is not so radically different to justify a new version number. It's more like a refurbished home than a new one.

Open-source database leader MySQL has released a new version aimed at satisfying the needs of corporate users.

Choice: it's one of the key ideas at the heart of free software.  The right to choose how to use your software, the right to choose who you share it with.  Who could be against choice?  Certainly not theInitiative for Software Choice, except that it has a slightly different view of what choice implies: To encourage continued software innovation and promote broad choice, governments are encouraged to consider the following neutral principles: Procure software on its merits, not through categorical preferences Promote broad availability of government funded research Promote interoperability through platform-neutral standards Maintain a choice of strong intellectual property protections

Commentary: The process of producing the third version of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3) may not be doomed, but, as Linus Torvalds and other kernel developers heat up the rhetoric, it does seem stalled.

Full Open Source Compliance and Database Independence are now one step closer for Open Source ERP project Adempiere (www.adempiere.org) with its first version released today, as scheduled.

Last week the Sabayon Linux project released ISO images of its miniEdition 3.1 live CD Linux distro. Sabayon has earned a reputation for running right on the cutting edge; it is the first distro to deploy a live CD using the Beryl compositing engine and Nvidia's newest beta video drivers. The only reason I tested the miniEdition instead of the full DVD ISO is that the DVD torrent estimated three days to complete the download. Seeing how much there is the miniEdition, perhaps I should be glad.
