=3D=3D=3D Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 virtual release party - Mark your city now!=
 =3D=3D=3D

This post is from the blog of Ahmed Kamal of Cairo, Egypt.  He states
that many conservative sys-admins wait for the first point release
before deploying a server OS.  In celebration of this point release he
has written a web app that allows people to register their install of
Ubuntu Server 10.04 and have it show up on a Google Map.  This way we
can begin to track the wide-spread use of Ubuntu Server all around the
world.

=3D=3D=3D Ubuntu Devs Discuss Backports Changes =3D=3D=3D

WorksWithU discusses the different options for backporting
applications to older Ubuntu versions. This allows users to use the
stability of an LTS or set-up that they know works for them without
sacrificing the chance to have more recent stable versions of
applications (such as Firefox) that have been new since the original
Ubuntu version came out.

=3D=3D=3D Linux Foundation Makes Enterprise Open Source Boring =3D=3D=3D

An important part of this is a set of new tools. All of them, of
course, are open source, so it will be interesting to see whether any
new companies grow up around them:

 * Dependency Checker Tool
 * Code Janitor Tool:
 * Bill of Material Difference Tool (BoM Diff)

All three tools -- but especially the one that sanitizes your code --
reveal a deep and important truth about this latest move by the Linux
Foundation: that they try to take all the fun out of free software.
They are about removing the quirkiness and the riskiness that has
characterized free software in business for the last decade and a
half, and seek to replace it with nice, safe systems that senior
management will instantly fall in love with. In a word, they seek to
make open source boring for the enterprise. That's not only good news
for companies, it's a really important step for the Linux Foundation.

To read more about what Glyn Moody of Computerworld UK had to say
about these tools go to:

=3D=3D=3D Fotoxx -- the Greatest Little Linux Photo Editor You've Never Hea=
rd Of =3D=3D=3D

F-spot, shotwell, solang -- some distros are arguing about what should
be the default "simpler than GIMP" image editor. But there's one that
never seems to get mentioned and deserves a look: fotoxx. Despite a
name that sounds like a wrinkle treatment, this little image editor is
lightweight and doesn't have many dependencies -- great for a netbook
or other modest machine. And it's jam-packed with great features.
