GNU Emacs 22 finally released, Jun 05, 2007

Emacs fans, limber up your fingers -- there's a new GNU in town. Almost six years after the release of the previous version, the Free Software Foundation has announced the release of GNU Emacs 22.

Motor manufacturer BMW Group is using Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLED) and Xen virtualisation software in its data center.

Novell's openSUSE project has launched a new initiative dedicated to advancing the public awareness of the popular Linux distribution in the educational community.

"If you won't work with MySQL, PHP and Ruby, then you are lost," said Marten Mickos, CEO of MySQL.

Overall, my productivity and the scope of things I can do with Ubuntu far exceed what I could do with Windows and just as importantly Ubuntu (like any Linux would) lets me easily create my own productivity shortcuts of a variety of sorts.

At long last, the final draft of the GNU GPLv3 (General Public License, version 3) is out. While companies and attorneys are taking their time in reacting to this latest version, two of the GPLv3's three primary authors have shared their opinions on the almost-completed work.

With 12 000 desktops switching to Linux this is very likely the most significant Linux and open source implementation in South Africa to date.

Microsoft on Monday announced a collaboration with Xandros, a small Linux distributor, the latest in a string of deals between the world's largest seller of patent-protected software and the open-source community.

2.6.22-rc4 has been released today.
