04/12/2008  
Relevance: 5.56
Joomla! is a world class content management system that allows you to easily create high-quality, professional Websites. Out of the box, provides a very robust feature set, and with the recent release of 1.5 Stable, the programing API allows it to be extended far beyond most people's wildest dreams. Highlighting some of the features Joomla! supports out of the box would take up an entire article all on its own, but here we'll touch on some of the highlights!

Bruce Perens: Innovation Goes Public

09/07/2007  
Relevance: 5.12
Bruce Perens is here for the second keynote of the evening. I spoke to Bruce on IT Conversations last March when he was last in Utah to protest the Novell/Microsoft deal. Bruce is not only interesting to listen to, but entertaining as well. Bruce gives an intro about why he got excited about open source. As I mentioned, Bruce has criticized Novell in the past (and will today). The conference is being held at Novell, but the security folks haven't thrown him out yet.

Why Netbooks are a bad intro to linux

08/28/2008  
Relevance: 5.03
It seems as if Netbooks are the newest craze. I may even sell more of these Linux-loaded bad boys, then I do regular laptops. Thats fine and dandy. They also do what they are meant to do, quite well. They also make me money because they come with no optical drive, which makes me responsible for setting them all up if I need to install something. Fine. The bad? Most of the people I have seen buy these are business people, who want something small to carry around. These people know nothing about Linux. These netbooks are the introduction to Linux that these users get, and in my opinion its a horrible first look, at what Linux truly is.

Securing Linux/Unix Systems - Part One

08/15/2007  
Relevance: 4.92
As an intro, Jay Beale from Intelguardians took an impromptu survey to find out who was using what Linux. This discussion was designed to discuss the types of attacks, how to recognize them, and how to defend them. The primary points that were covered were the secuing of a system from an O/S standpoint. In other words, look for things that shouldn't be running, users that shouldn't be doing things, and applications that shouldn't be doing things and find ways to remove them, inhibit them, or remove them. Sounds simple enough.

Head First Object-Oriented Analysis& Design

01/30/2007  
Relevance: 4.81
The question asked on the back cover was intriguing:"Tired of reading Object Oriented Analysis and Design books that only make sense after you're an expert?". Does this mean I don't have to be an"expert" to read and understand this book? How much of a"newbie" can I be? Ok, according the the book's intro, you need to know Java or C# in order to get anything out of this book. You don't have to be a guru but this should not be the first programming book you've picked up. This is the first"Head First" book I have reviewed so I have no way to compare it to others in the series. Guess it'll have to stand on its own merits.

Review: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Administration Unleashed

04/30/2007  
Relevance: 4.74
Normally, I see"Unleashed" books with titles LikeFedora Core 6 Unleashed orOpenSUSE 10.2 Unleashed, not something likeRed Hat Enterprise Linux 5Administration Unleashed. An"administration" Unleashed book? Very interesting...and written by a single (and very highly qualified) author to boot. A peek at the Intro assured me that this book was written as much for Linux administration in general as for RHEL 5 administration. Fox said her focus was to help admins who oversee from one to a thousand systems, so I started to think"big".

Bring Out the GIMP Part 1: GIMP Basics

07/01/2007  
Relevance: 4.69
No matter which Linux distro you run, chances are it came with a magnificent little image editor called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Unlike Paint and other free-with-your-OS image editors, GIMP is a full featured graphics app with a broad range of capabilities that rival those os Adobe Photoshop. (Note: GIMP does lack many features of its $749 rival, but it has the distinct advantage of costing absolutely nothing.) In this, our first of several posts about this powerful Linux app, we'll give you a quick-and-dirty intro to GIMP's most basic features.
