  1. Comment - Windows Home Server OS Now on Sale

    (Oct 11, 2007 - 8:22 AM)

    * * * WARNING WILL ROBINSON ! * * *

    Not secure. All functions not protected. Much safer/easier to use the FREE Open Source LiveCDrom server, Slampp liveCDrom server, that can also install on any old Pentium class hard drive, to become the server, and run headless, for FREE. http://livecdlist.com

    File transfers to a Dual Layer DVD on ANY system on a network is supported. K3B, the burner program in KDE desktop, also can run on any node! http://www.mepis.org
    or http://ubuntu.org do fine!

    Windows or Linux should be running an IPCOP box BEFORE the server. Our academy 48 node network invokes the web filter, Dan's Guardian, and SpamAssassin. http://ipcop.org

  2. Comment - Microsoft Scrambling to Explain Ballmer Comment on Red Hat Linux

    (Oct 11, 2007 - 7:40 AM)

    A lot of huge competitors of Microsoft, located over the world, pay the 'rent' for professional programmers to write Open Source Software, that is defeating Microsoft on many fronts, in many markets.

    They surely wouldn't risk failure by trying to run any snippets of error prone Microsoft code!

    FOSS provides common single users, 'professionals' in industry, and rocket scientists alike the Operating Systems that are immune to the Microsoft million virus/trojan/malware/spybot/exploits.

    Microsoft has had it's 20 years, and before that was Unix, for it's two decades. The superior evolved OS has been here and fully capable and is ready for the future.

    If Microsoft intends to sue over some fantasy wetdream that it could work, then Steve Ballmer has no clue about what happened to SCO, and how so much worse it will go with Microsoft.

    Microsoft, to survive, needs to give due respect to the remaining users and customers who haven't jumped ship, yet, but, who have "TheOpenCD", Ubuntu, Mepis, or PClinuxOS CDroms in their libraries.

    As if there could have ever been any of Microsoft's sad and in-efficient code in GNU/Linux, Steve knows that programmers would have already changed it to respect property rights and to protect from the blight!

    Microsoft looks back over 8 years of declining sales figures, and can see the writing on the wall. Users want FREEdom, as is offered by GNU/Linux.
