It's been a relatively slow week this week, no doubt due to the fact
that many U.S. companies were closed both Monday and Tuesday for the
Independence day holiday.
That said, here's a few interesting items:
Yahoo! Selects Google.
Yahoo will start using Google as its default research results
provider within the next thirty days, according to this press
release. "'Google's search services help individuals find
the information they're looking for on the Web with unprecedented
levels of ease, speed, and relevancy,' said Larry Page, co-founder
and CEO of Google." Remember that Google is a Linux-based
site. [From Slashdot].
AbriaSoft announces MySQL distribution.
AbriaSoft has announced Abria
MySQL Lite. This "distribution" of MySQL contains RPM files for
MySQL 3.22, Apache Web Server, PHP3, Perl and PhpMyAdmin to ease
installation and upgrades. It is available for free download (as it
had better be, now that MySQL is under the GPL). With its
announcement, AbriaSoft joins the list of companies now available to
provide MySQL support. They are also promising computer-based
training for MySQL some time in July.
Free Download of Corel Photo-Paint for Linux.
Corel has announced the availability of a free download of Corel Photo-Paint for
Linux. A retail version of Corel Photo-Paint will be included in
the CorelDraw Graphics Suite, scheduled to ship later this summer.
