40 years of
Unix
"Unix
is 40 years old. 1969, the summer of love for most, was the summer of
not having enough computer resources for AT&T Bell Lab employees
Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. After the failure of time-sharing
system Multics, the two gentlemen needed a computer and an operating
system to run Space Travel, an early computer game."

Understanding
the Linux File System
"The way Linux
organizes its files on the hard drive is vastly different from how
Windows handles this task. New Linux users coming from Windows sometime
have a hard time maneuvering though directories or come with notions
that Linux should manage its files in the same vain as Windows."

Akonadi,
Nepomuk and Strigi explained
"Tobias
recently blogged about Nepomuk, and from the comments it seems that
people are a bit in the dark about what Akonadi, Nepomuk and Strigi
actually do and how they interact with each other. So if you want to
understand those technologies, read on! This blog post is an attempt to
clear things up a bit."

Compilation
of Gnome 2.28
We started to
compile Gnome 2.28. We are compiling and upgrading all necessary
libraries and dependencies first. After everything is compiled we
intend to let anyone test the next GNOME distribution but probably
without a public release because we need first to prepare the future
project to receive everything from GoblinX.
