Open Source is out of Control! October 17, 2007
I mean that in the best possible way. No Way! I just got an email from Eweek.com 10 things you should know about open source. http://www.eweek.com/slideshow_viewer/0,1205,l=&s=25947&a=217105&po=2,00.asp?p=y The 11 thing that they fail to mention is that Open Source is Unbelievable. I’m sure that many of you have heard of FireFox or OpenOffice, when you start looking under the covers there is a whole world out there…
There next slide show that I went to was the The Most Important Open-Source Apps of All Time. Which lead me to a network scanning application, Website portal software, Database software, Etc.. You say what does this have to do with me I never “portal” or scan my network. Well, that is a good question. Even better if I had an answer. I can’t tell you what that has to do with you, but I can say what it has to do with me and that is that I will be able to offer a portal to my High School Class mates and scan my network all for free via open source software. This may not enrich your life, but it will someday soon and you will be a much better person for it.
Hopefully this will peek you interest and help you find a better way to live you digital life.
