“Sun Microsystems is stepping up efforts to boost Java usage in Linux shops by working to remove some final encumbrances in the open-source Java platform.

By freeing these up, Java can be fully open-source and thus be packaged more easily with Linux distributions. In conjunction with this activity, Sun is talking with Linux distributors, including OpenSuse, Ubuntu and Fedora to have them offer an updated version of OpenJDK…” read more

=========================================================================== 
1.Thou shalt not log in as root.
Use “sudo” or “su -” for administrative tasks.

2. Thou shalt use the package manager when possible.
Sometimes installing from source code can’t be avoided, but when you use your distro’s package manager to install software, you can also use it to update and remove it. This is one of the main strengths of Linux.

3. Thou shalt be a part of the community.
Freely give what you have received for free. Offer help and advice whenever you can.

4. Thou shalt read documentation and man pages.
Always read the documentation. The people who wrote the software tried to anticipate your questions, and provided answers before you asked.

5. Thou shalt use the available support system.
Switching to Linux can be tough. It can be frustrating, but there are a lot of people out there who want to help you. Let them.

6. Thou shalt search.
In most cases, your question or problem has already been addressed. Try to find the answers that are already out there before asking someone to provide a new one.

7. Thou shalt explore.
Linux opens a whole new world of options and possibilities. Try everything you can.

8. Thou shalt use the command line.
Especially when it comes to configuration, use the GUI tools to get your system working, but get to know the command line versions as well. In many cases, the command line is the only way to use some of the more advanced features.

9. Thou shalt not try to recreate Windows.
Linux is not meant to be a clone of Windows. It’s different. Embrace and appreciate the differences.

10. Thou shalt not give up.
I tried several distributions before I found one I liked. I still try other distros from time to time. I also tried several different programs to serve one purpose before settling on what I use now (amarok, xmms, beep, exaile for music - azureus, ktorrent, deluge for bittorrents). If you don’t like the defaults, remember that you can change almost everything to suit you.

Tux God speaking?!?!? Official or UnOfficial? hihihihi… Well, I think its more of a cheatsheet guide or ReadMe guide for those who are “not so” new to linux. More of a best practice guide though… Please comment on this LinuxUsers.

Ang “Electronic Commerce” o mas kilala sa bansag na “E-Commerce” ay bahagi ng tinatawag na “electronic business” o “e-business”. Ito ay isang paraan ng pagpapalitan ng pera at produkto o maging serbisyo sa pamamagitan ng kahit na ano mang teknolohiyang pang komunikasyon tulad ng “computer, cellphone, telephone, fax machine, radio, television” o ano mang bagay na kahalintulad ng mga ito.

Subalit ang pinakamalaking kontribusyon ng teknolohiyang pang-komunimkasyon na ito ay ang paggamit ng “Internet” o ang “World Wide Web”na kung saan ito ang pinakamabilis na paraan para maikalat ang inyong produkto sa buong mundo sa loob lamang ng ilang minuto o maging segundo.

Sa pamamagitan ng “Internet” madaling naisasakatuparang ang iba’t-ibang kalakaran tulad ng mga sumusunod: “electronic funds transfer or e-banking, electroning shopping, supply chain management, demand chain management, e-learning, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems” at napakarami pa.

Sa susunod na edisyon ng “e-commerce 101: Bridging digital divide” ay matututunan naman ninyo ang ibat’t-ibang klase ng mga kalahok sa “e-commerce” o “e-business”.

Hi! I would just like to share with you guys some toolbox that will help you in web development. To make web development a little bit easier we need some or maybe all of these tools. I think rapid development is the trend today, focusing more on the speed of delivery of projects with quality. here’s the link—->  mashable

“Linus Torvalds is often described as an open source champion, interested in licensing only insofar as it affects his ability to share code and improve software more quickly. However, his real position is more complicated — and to some, perhaps surprising.

Asked point-blank which is more important, sharing code or empowering users — the declared goal of the free software champions whom Torvalds is routinely depicted as being in opposition with — and his first response in what he calls “the usual Linus polite words” is… read more” by Bruce Byfield
