Resources

Informazioni relative a linux e domande ricorrenti. In other words, a new version of the Italian Linux FAQ is available. It includes not only "howto" information, but also has a section on getting Linux into companies.

Linux in Business - Case Studies is a new page put up by Bynari Systems. It is quite an impressive list.

Events

Atlanta Linux Showcase deadline approaching. The folks from the Atlanta Linux Showcase have sent us a reminder that paper submissions for this October's event are due on July 1. Interested people still have time to pull something together; see the call for papers for details.

Pictures of Linux. Marc Merlin has put up a page about Linus's BALUG talk in his usual fashion: lots of information and lots of pictures. Worth a look.

Ziff-Davis's Open Source Forum is next week - it is being held on June 30 and July 1 in Austin, TX. Details on their web page.

Web sites

FreeLinuxSpace announced its existence this week. Their hook is that anybody can get 25mb of free storage there in exchange, presumably, for being advertised at. The connection to Linux is not entirely clear...

User Group News

An installfest will be held in Brussels on July 8. It is hosted by two Brussels LUGs. See the announcement for details.
