Open Source App Site Posted Thursday, November 11, 1999 - 2:35 AM by: Sensei | Submit Your News

I was sent this link awhile ago, but because I get a decent sized amount of news submissions some get buried and I don't get a chance to go back to them. Once of these submissions was in regards to this site called appwatch. Its a freshmeat like site however, appwatch is dedicated to open source apps only. I like their interfaces also. :) Not to mention appwatch runs on Zope, which is supposedly similar to Cold Fusion for linux. LNO might incorporate zope soon. Check it out here.

Allaire ColdFusion Enters Linux Fray Posted Tuesday, November 09, 1999 - 3:58 PM by: Sensei | Submit Your News

I saw this linked story on LinuxToday: "Developers soon will be able to use a popular Web application platform for building E-business solutions on the Linux operating environment. Allaire Corp. told more than 1,200 developers at its first user conference, held here, that it will ship ColdFusion 4.5 in December, with first-time support for Linux." --I've heard from a few beta testers that CF 4.5 ain't exactly whats its cracked up to be just yet. As of right now it only supported Sybase and the overall support wasn't that great. Hopefully by december it will be ready. I'm a CF'er and I hope I can use it on the site. If not I'll try Zope :).

Judge Jackson: Linux Won't Last : Oh Really? Posted Monday, November 08, 1999 - 9:22 AM by: Sensei | Submit Your News

Ripped from WiRED, "Linux aficionados who are applauding US District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's bitter denunciation of their archrival Microsoft might want to read the fine print first. In the 207-page preliminary ruling, Jackson says that "fringe" operating systems like Linux are destined for continued niche market status. He said that only a "small number" of diehard geeks will choose..." Check it out here.

Linuxnewbie.org is 'the place' for people that are transitioning to Linux from Windows and are having a hard time learning how to operate, install, and getting around the OS. I hope you find the information here useful in setting up your new and old Linux machines.

At Linuxnewbie.org we have devised a different system of learning Linux. Instead of following the boring HOW-TO's and reading MAN pages, "we" would like to act as a portal and archive all of the tips/tricks and "HOWTO's" users have created or send in to us. These files will be laid out in an easy to read and understandable format.

Linuxnewbie.org not only plans to bring you "Newbieized Help Files," but "we" plan on bringing you "Newbieized Help Files" on other OS's such as IRIX and Solaris as well as any and all distributions of Linux.

Our Credo:
"We the newbies of the Linux community, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish better documentation, insure cross platform understanding, provide for the common computer user, promote the general goodness of Linux and other OS's, and secure the Blessings of Linus to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Website for the Linux Newbies--Linuxnewbie.org" -sensei@linuxnewbie.org
