Kernel Release Numbering Redux | KernelTrap - 0 views

  • This long-standing odd/even development model was officially scrapped in 2004 thanks to the success that Linus and Andrew Morton were having working together, and significant "unstable" development began happening between each 2.6.Z release.

DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. - 0 views

  • There is not doubt in my mind that Zypper is the most powerful package management utility available today, with many useful options and arguments that do not exist elsewhere. While its apparent complexity could be seen as discouraging at times, once you take the time to learn the tool and to understand its intricacies you will undoubtedly appreciate the effort openSUSE developers have put into creating Zypper.

Computerworld - The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again Shell - 0 views

  • Interviews The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again ShellWhen the Bourne Shell found its identity
  • in this article we chat to Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash.
  • In BASH's case, the problem to be solved was a free software version of the Posix standard shell to be part of the GNU system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the original Bourne Shell was very influential, the various System V shell releases preserved that heritage, and the Posix committee used those versions as the basis for the standard they developed. Certainly the basic language syntax and built-in commands are direct descendants of the Bourne Shell's. Bash's additional features and functionality build on what the Bourne shell provided. As for source code and internal implementation, there's no relationship at all
  • Bash will continue to evolve as both an interactive environment and a programming language. I'd like to add more features that allow interested users to extend the shell in novel ways. The programmable completion system is an example of that kind of extension.
  • Do you have any advice for up-and-coming programmers? Find an area that interests you and get involved with an existing community. There are free software projects in just about any area of programming. The nuts-and-bolts -- which language you use, what programming environment you use, where you do your work -- are not as important as the passion and interest you bring to the work itself.

Is OpenOffice.org getting faster? - OpenOffice.org Ninja - 0 views

  • Is OpenOffice.org getting faster?
  • Some complain OpenOffice.org is slow and bloated. With each release there may be dozens of performance improvements, but there are also new features, some of which may slow things down. This the natural balance in software development, but in the end, what is the net effect on performance from one version to the next?
  • In conclusion, OpenOffice.org is generally getting slower with each release. However, startup performance has made great improvements, the performance losses are relatively small, advances in new computer hardware are more than making up the loses, and OpenOffice.org continues to mature with new features. OpenOffice.org doesn't compel users to upgrade, so you are welcome to continue using older versions.

Linux.com :: Profiling entire system activity with sysprof - 0 views

  • Profiling entire system activity with sysprof
  • Profiling an application lets you see what functions are taking up most of the CPU time so you can concentrate your optimization efforts on making the those pieces of code run faster. With sysprof, you can profile all the applications that are running on your machine
  • To get the most out of sysprof you should also install the debug information for all the applications you wish to profile. Without the debug information you will see only the name of a shared library in the profile information and not be able to tell what functions are taking up the lion's share of time spent in that library.
