"The FOSS Force Poll
Inquiring minds wanted to know, so we asked. When choosing what to run on a machine - we're talking computing machines running GNU/Linux here - what's more important, the choice of distro or which desktop environment to run? We began asking"

"by Richard Stallman
If you want to combine two free programs into one, or merge code from one into the other, this raises the question of whether their licenses allow combining them.
There is no problem merging programs that have the same license, if it is a reasonably behaved license, as nearly all free licenses are.(*)"
"by Richard Stallman
When we call software "free," we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of "free speech," not "free beer.""
"Fedora 25 arrived on November 22, 2016, as reported right here on Softpedia, and it ships with lots of modern GNU/Linux technologies and the latest open source software releases."
"It will be eighteen years this weekend since GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, hit version 1.0 on June 5, 1996, and over twenty since the open source project first became generally available to the public. In that time, it has come a long way in both the expansion of features and in usability, and for many users across Linux, Windows, and Mac machines alike it has become their preferred image editor."
"Richard Stallman es el fundador de la Free Software Foundation y también el responsable del proyecto GNU. Creador del movimiento más revolucionario de la historia de la informática, es el hombre que dio vida al software libre."
"gnormalize is an audio converter and CD ripper with ReplayGain normalization algorithms, a metadata (tag) editor and an audio player. It uses gtk2-perl under GNU/Linux. "

Given the recent releases of Fedora 24, Solus 1.2, and other GNU/Linux distribution updates, here is our latest performance testing roundabout of seven popular OS releases on the same Core i5 Skylake system."
"Trying to track a complex project without drowning in too much information is still a challenge for many of us. To solve this, we developed OpenProject, a web-based open source project management tool that supports teams throughout the entire project life cycle. It is licensed under GNU GPLv3 and written in Ruby on Rails and AngularJS. "

How many people even noticed (let alone wrote about) Microsoft's Wistron and Rakuten patent settlements that explicitly cover Linux?"
"Microsoft and the GNU/Linux and open source world may seem to be at peace, but deep tensions persist between Linux fans and the closed-source company."

"The Free Software Definition
The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions about subtle issues. See the History section below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free software. "
"En ocasiones, puedes necesitar conocer algunos detalles sobre tu ordenador, configuraciones de tu sistema operativo y sus componentes para instalar un determinado tipo de programas o para monitorizar su rendimiento de tu ordenador."
"If winecfg is a screwdriver, winetricks is a power drill. They both have their place, but winetricks is just a much more powerful tool. Actually, it even has the ability to launch winecfg.
While winecfg gives you the ability to change the settings of WINE itself, winetricks gives you the ability to modify the actual Windows layer. It allows you to install important components like .dlls and system fonts as well as giving you the capability to edit the Windows registry. It also has a task manager, an uninstall utility, and file browser.
Even though winetricks can do all of this, the majority of the time, you're going to be using it to manage dlls and Windows components."

"While there are many ways with which we can search and locate files and directories on Linux, the easiest and quickest is probably through the terminal. However, not many Linux users know about that, which leads to unneeded frustration. Here is a quick guide that will hopefully help you locate what you're looking for in your system."
