If you're sitting there reading this and going, "Oh yeah, I already know about that", then hold on a minute or two. The Domain Name System of the Internet makes up the largest distributed database on the planet and it's quite ingenious. Linux uses BIND to perform DNS functions.

Femmes et logiciels libres How to run WinXP on Linux - Video The real roadblocks to Linux in education: ZDNet Australia: News: Software In this issue of Industry Insider, Con Zymaris, our guest columnist from Open Source Industry Australia, describes the major barriers for Linux in the education system. commentary Linux and open source software have a problem in Australia's education sector. And that problem has nothing to do with the value-for-money or fitness--for-purpose of the software. It has everything to do with fighting an uphill battle against entrenched ideology and frightened government bureaucrats. A recent report published by the UK government shows how adopting Linux and other open-source solutions could save education possibly tens of millions of pounds every year. The UK government's ICT agency, British Educational Communications and Technology Association, suggested that schools could slash their total computer costs by up to 50 percent if they "stopped buying, operating and supporting products from the world's largest software company". But what does this mean in the Australian context? Not likely.

The People Own Ideas! We entered the youth camp that morning by passing down a long, white gravel road and under a wooden gate. Spread to one side, and for as far as you could see, were rows and rows of tents. In front were scores of showers, with hundreds of kids in swimsuits milling about, waiting to rinse. It felt like a refugee camp. In a sense, it was. Just past the showers was a sprawling collection of wooden huts, connected by a canvas spread across their roofs. The room was being prepared for what seemed like a disco. In another room, the yellow light filtering through the canvas roof bathed another 50 machines. Inside the room, a group of five or six Brazilians was waiting there to meet us.
