PLOS
(For techies!)

Came across this site recently and I like the concept very much though I cannot understand much. PLOS - Public Library of Science is an online journal site where you can read Scientific journals that would normally cost big bucks from your wallet. This community host the entire Journal online for free to read by anyone having access to internet. Right now they have PLOS Biology for Biological journals and they have plans in future for Journals in Chemistry, Computer Science etc. [though their site says that these other journals might come around Mid 2004]

So techies, interested to keep you updated with the latest scientific advancements, must checkout this site often to get themselves updated (for free!).

Redhat Linux to be discontinued

Redhat recently announced that it is going to discontinue further development on Redhat Linux versions after its recent version of Redhat 9.0. The Fedora project - the supposed Redhat 10 is still on and will be released as an Open source project. It is not a supported project of Redhat Inc.

What it means? To end users (typically desktopers like me) its a sad thing that we will not be getting newer versions of free cool window Linux from Redhat. But for the corporate world it is a good news. Since Linux now becomes a commercial product anything that runs in Linux becomes a commercially marketable product, meaning anyone writing Linux apps can market it easily by saying that it is build on the 'Commercial' Linux.
