Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux
by Trevor Warren 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004) O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the "bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information. Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length. http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT7471953382.html -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

[snip] We can aim to lay the ground work for a 2 day commercial event ourselves. Learning from the same a larger event can always be scaled to. Besides the funds generated can always be pumped back to fsf.

Re: Linuxers Digest, Vol 11, Issue 36

Hello Luggers, My query is withe respect to JAVA Native Interfcae (JNI) on Linux A JNI call is an inproc or outproc call? My thought: Its an inproc call. Any java application has at least one instance of JVM (a process). All the java byte code would be executed using functions in libjvm.so and other helper shared libs. A System.loadLibrary() call will invoke some func in libjvm.so (or other helper) and do the task of making the said library available to the current JVM (I.e. the .so will be loaded in JVM process 's address space) Thus a native method call would be an inprocess call. Is my thinking correct?Indiatimes Email now powered by APIC Advantage. Help! HelpClick on the image to chat with me

Six barriers to open source adoption By Dan Farber March 20, 2004 We all know about the benefits of open source software in lowering total cost of ownership, offering more choice and the increasing quality and functionality of the code. The rise of Linux as an edge server and now migrating toward the data center is clear validation that the open source model has taken root. http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/Six_barriers_to_open_so… -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/
