Good reading - Linux in the News

[Joseph Sakosky <josak@ibm.net>]

Hi All!

At last night's meeting reference to the Forbe's article about IBM's
deal with Apache met with general interest. The online version of the
article can be found at:

Of further interest may be this well-written piece from this month's
issue of Software magazine about Linux:
http://209.101.48.92/Sept98/sm098cv.htm 

finally, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the articles of Ellen Ullman
written under the title "The Dumbing-Down of Programming." which
describes this programmer's flight from the push-button programmer's
world of Windows to a new operating system. The section on Linux which I
reference here is not the best part of the piece. Be sure to read the
article from the beginning as well as some of her other work, referenced
on the page.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
