The short answer: Updates are worthless if one does not apply them. Once again I find myself cleaning malware off of a home user’s Microsoft based notebook PC.

It was infected with the Antispyware Soft fake . . . → Read More: Security: FOSS/CSS Updates – Are They Worth Anything?  You have a relatively new PC with your favorite Linux distribution installed. You are content and all is well with the world. Then you discover that your motherboard needs an update to the BIOS to allow some new hardware to work properly with your PC. Alas! Your almost new PC, which has an on-board floppy . . . → Read More: Linux: Updating a Linux Unfriendly Motherboard BIOS This is part one of a two part article about a “real life” control system that is a candidate for moving to a VM on Linux. This control system is being used right now in a real manufacturing facility. Last year in February I wrote the article “Windows 98? Linux and VirtualBox! (Maybe)“. It is . . . → Read More: Virtual Control – Linux, VirtualBox and OS/2 or eComStation Time does pass quickly. I just realized it has been over two months since I had time to write an article here.

Today I am working to finish setting . . . → Read More: GNU/Linux: rdesktop – Working on a Windows Based PC Remotely We have all heard the GNU/Linux naysayers posit that, “No one will use Linux until (insert application name here) runs natively on Linux.” Other than the fact that this is almost pure hyperbole there is some kernel of truth there.

Please participate in our poll. (Sorry, this poll is now gone.) I have once again run across a "too many versions!" comment on another site.
