While I'm up at Ohio LinuxFest, giving my presentation on Marketing FOSS, I'm not exactly sure what will become of my Internet connectivity. Not to mention it's really hard to run a news site while simultaneously hanging out with all the wonderful folks at OLF. So I've asked Eileen Bonfiglio to fill in for me this weekend.

Last year, I interviewed the team behind Neoscopio, then just a Free/Open Source Software business concept. Now, just a scant 3 months into their official business venture, they are well ahead of where they thought they would be right now. I asked Gustavo Mendez to bring us up to speed on where the fledgling company currently stands...

In the wake of the Windows Update fiasco, LinuxInsider quoted Stephen O'Grady's explanation of why users trust GNU/Linux more than Windows where the auto-update features are concerned. His explanation really hits the nail on the head - it all comes down to trust.

I gave gNewSense a spin this weekend. It's mostly a good experience, but I am sticking with Debian for now. Here's why.

This guide shows how to install and configure Smokeping on Debian Etch to monitor network latency. From the Smokeping web site: "SmokePing is a deluxe latency measurement tool. It can measure, store and display latency, latency distribution and packet loss. SmokePing uses RRDtool to maintain a longterm data-store and to draw pretty graphs, giving up to the minute information on the state of each network connection."

I decided to take up learning a little German, and yes, primarily for the fun of it. I got one of those CD-based audio courses, which is pretty helpful. Still, sometimes you just need a simple way to practice your vocabulary to augment the audio course. Introducing KVocTrain, the KDE vocabulary trainer, which is useful for more than just learning another language.
