Make your Thunderbird start page a wiki

09/14/2007  IIIIII
Relevance: 5.71
Every time you launch Thunderbird, you are greeted by a generic start page (unless you've turned that option off). Most of us don't pay much attention to it and navigate straight to the Inbox without giving it a second thought. The start screen is just a simple HTML page, which Thunderbird fetches from the address specified in the application's preferences. Knowing that, you can replace it with something more useful, such as the URL of your Web site or blog -- or you can take it a step further and turn the start screen into a tool that can help to manage your ideas, notes, to-do lists, and more.

Linux: making small businesses possible

06/04/2007  III
Relevance: 4.39
I have a small company that builds websites for equally small businesses in the area and it's Linux that made this possible. If we would have been stuck on the Windows platform there is no way we could have done what we do because it would simply have been too expensive. I am sure the same is true for many start-ups. It is no coincidence that virtually all the successful start-ups of today are powered by open source software.
