Re: What Do Readers Want To See In The Linux News Section?

I'd be interested in a discussion of best practices in the enterprise.  Should an enterprise look towards various packages to integrate Linux with Active Directory (ie: the Microsoft technology), or should an enteprise do the opposite and look towards packages to integrate Windows with Linux's/Unix's kerberos?   

 

Maybe a broader discussion as well.  For instance, if one knows of an application that a business is currently spending huge $$$ on Windows licenses, and for which would be better served (no pun intended) by switching to Linux or specifying Linux in the first place -- should they bring that up in planning meetings?  Or not.  The software licensing aspect being one piece of the pie, of course, but also it is easier to move Linux applications into "the cloud" it would seem.

Re: What Do Readers Want To See In The Linux News Section?

I'd like to see a lean and clean Linux distro (v3.x kernel fork) for laptops and tablets that uses the tried-and-true KDE v3.5.x desktop and K-apps. 

 

KDE3 would be a real boon for migrating users from Win/XP. The KDE4 metaphors just confuse them, and the internal bloat and bureaucracy (Akonadi and MySql) is far in excess to requirements.

 

Has anyone taken up the KDE3 sources, and begun to migrate them into using XML control and resource files? Someone made a tiny beginning with the menu file, but then the KDE4 craze began.
