I've been a bit too busy lately to post, so I wanted to catch up a bit. Last week I went to BrainShare, at least the first few days, in Salt Lake City. Day one and day two coverage are up on NewsForge.
I also wrote a review of the Linspire "Koobox" PC that went up over on Linux.com this week. I'm not terribly impressed by the unit, but for a budget PC it's not bad. Linspire and I will have to agree to disagree over the emphasis placed on creating normal user accounts rather than allowing users to run as root by default.
Another interesting development this week -- Don Marti and a few other Linux luminaries are putting together a "shadow" conference in Seattle right after Microsoft's WinHEC -- this should be interesting, and I hope it's a major success. The story is on NewsForge.
And, finally this week, it looks like security concerns have scuttled the acquisition of Sourcefire by Check Point software. The story is over at NewsForge.
