If you take a look over on the left you see a link for Forum, yuppers that is what it for. LinuxChick and I invite you to stop in sign up and feel free to join on any of the topics and ask questions and make comments. It is brand new and therefore hardly any topics as of yet that will be up to you folks. Tell your friends and have fun and maybe even learn something while you are in there. See you all there.

I just finished taking my first course over at Oreilly School and I must say that I am pleased with the course. The first course that I took was a brush up course in Linux administration (Linux/Unix 1: The Unix file system).

This was the first report on the new Oreilly and U of Illinois courses and it sounds as if they are worth the time and money I am looking at them now to see what I can take and learn from, Baldy

The Linux kernel is released under the GPLv2 license, not the “GPL version 2, or any later version”, but explicitly GPL version 2. It means that the Linux kernel source won’t be available under the GPLv3 unless the kernel developers make an explicit change to allow it. And, it appears the kernel developers aren’t planning to make that change. So what’s the likely outcome?

Now this is a interesting view,Baldy

Sometimes a “student” and/or friend can become so dependent on the knowledge base of their teacher/friend that they become not only an annoyance but can drive you away from enjoying your computer time altogether.
