Netrunner 14.1 – Main Edition (Frontier)
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Saturday 24th of January 2015 10:55:14 PM Filed under
The “14.1” indicates an updated and polished release of Netrunner 14 LTS on the same underlying base. Since 14.1 is using the same base “trusty” like Netrunner 14, there is no need for users of 14 to migrate: Simply updating from the shared backports ppa of the Frontier release cycle should give the same result, while keeping customizations in place.

Designing with Linux
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 22nd of January 2015 10:48:57 PM Filed under
3-D printers are becoming popular tools, dropping in price and becoming available to almost everyone. They can be used to build parts that you can use around the house, but more and more, they also are being used to create instruments for scientific work. Although a growing library of objects are available in several on-line databases, there is nearly an infinite number of possible things you might want to build. This means you likely will want to design and build your own creations.

Librem 15, the first free software GNU/Linux laptop, makes funding goal
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 22nd of January 2015 07:35:54 PM Filed under
Purism, the company behind the Librem 15, promises that it will ship an Intel CPU fused to run unsigned BIOS code. The hope is that this will allow a future where free software can replace the proprietary, digitally signed, BIOS binaries.
The company claims that Librem will be better than its competitors because the "the hardware used in the Librem 15 laptop was specifically selected so that no binary blobs are needed in the Linux kernel that ships with the laptop. All other Linux pre-installed devices include binary blobs in the Linux kernel."

Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 22nd of January 2015 01:05:25 PM Filed under

After this week's FESCo meeting, GCC 5 will now be added as the Fedora 22 compiler while still aiming for a mid-May release.

Should You Use Linux for A Start Up?
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 22nd of January 2015 12:35:10 PM Filed underMy personal experiences with Linux in the workplace actually started shortly after I adopted Linux on my home PC (well I was am still am dual booting Windows). I was at a startup who had installed Ubuntu on all the desktops, other than a few, and had no idea what they were doing. Luckily the IT guy and myself both were familiar enough with it to work through some of the early problems (mostly on the fly problem solving). Once we got past the growing pains that all start ups go though, we were in the clear. It saved the company a lot of money and, even though the new people we eventually hired did grumble about having to learn a new OS, it eventually worked out for the best.
