Linux desktops on Windows using VNC
Need to integrate your Windows and Linux machines over a network? One tool that may help is VNC, a frame-buffer-based client/server application that lets you display desktops on remote networked machines, and which runs on all kinds of platforms, including Linux, Unix, Macs, Windows, and mainframes.
Review: Mandrake Corporate Desktop
The corporate desktop GNU/Linux distribution is a relatively new invention, having begun with SUSE Desktop, then followed by Sun's Java Desktop System and Red Hat Desktop. But with much less fanfare, Mandrakesoft released a Corporate Desktop product last January. It's cheaper, has no minimum purchase requirement, and has support options of from one to five years. Compared to the alternatives, Mandrake Corporate Desktop is suited more for smaller shops that need a cost-effective and reliable desktop platform with corporate support.

Make your Windows desktop apps open source
Even if you have good reasons for sticking with Windows, you can still keep your desktop applications open source. OpenOffice.org, the GIMP, Gaim, and Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are all pretty obvious choices when it comes to software most of us use on a daily basis. There are, however, quite a few other useful applications that can help you to deal with the daily grind.
Novell: Long-term memory problems?
Novell's Jack Messman might be one of the last honest businessmen, unafraid to change his mind and his company's direction, but never afraid to tell the truth when he discovers it. On the other hand, he simply might not be able to remember what his company's marketing message was just a few years ago. I'm betting on the latter.
How is software development like moviemaking?
To introduce beginners to the RUP framework, the process of software development is often compared to the construction process. But software development with the RUP is actually more like making a movie than building a house, as this article suggests.
Linux in Government: Providing a Successful Model for OSS Enterprise Users and Linux Companies
JBoss offers insight to raising open-source businesses.
Ham and Wine go well together
Wine -- the open source implementation of the Windows API on X and Unix -- is a tool that you may never need. Its development seems to have been driven primarily by games and office suites available on the Windows platform, but not on Linux. Since I'm happy with the games available natively to Linux, and I don't have much need for office suites, that means I haven't been watching Wine mature over the years. But now I've got an itch that I can only scratch with a shareware app for Windows, so I thought it was time I installed Wine to see if it could bring some relief.
JBoss hints at financial success
The open source model of billing for services rather than charging licence fees seems to be working for JBoss.
JBoss adds server cluster management
Analysts believe JBoss Network goes some way to closing the gap with IBM WebSphere, Oracle Application Server and BEA WebLogic.

News from the release building effort for 2005.0, infrastructure
moves and changes, a heads-up for shifting sys-apps in

end of the newsletter, and besides the Gentoo in the press clippings we
also have a tip on using emerge in clever ways you may not be
familiar with.
Seven tips to help FOSS companies succeed
Suddenly, new companies based on free and open source software (FOSS) are being noticed again. Reading about companies like Alacos and Black Duck Software, I realize that it has been six years since FOSS began to have a market impact. Now, with the dot-com crash and a recession in the technology sector behind us, companies are still trying to answer the question, "How can we make money from FOSS?" I can't pretend to give a complete answer, but here are a few observations that might improve the odds.
