I am happy to announce the availability of SysGlance, a simple and universal, Linux utility for generating a report for the host system.

AeroFS: File syncing without cloud or server storage
Most people with multiple devices like PC, Tablet and smartphone probably use some sort of file syncing solutions based on cloud services like dropbox, box or Ubuntu One. AeroFS comes to change this by removing the need for the middle part of the file syncing technologies (cloud storage or server).
Linus Torvalds interview at computerworld.com
In January 22-2009 Linus Torvalds, the founder of Linux OS, talks about the open source identity. He spoke about a host of topics
including point releases, filesystems and what it is like switching to GNOME. He also puts Windows 7 in perspective. I would like to point some of them :
It’s 2009 and Linux development is approaching 20 years. How do you look back at the past two decades?
I feel like its very natural and I don’t think it will go away. I have a suspicion I will be doing this for a long time and there is no feeling of “it is done”. I don’t have a feeling to pass it on [maintenance of the Linux kernel], but I let the people I trust make the decisions. I can’t second-guess them as it wouldn’t work and I would waste a lot of people’s time. All the sub-maintainers sync their git trees with the main code and I check they haven’t done something horrible, but that’s rare.
