It’s easy to understand how: WebKit and KHTML use the same core (now they aren’t still together). But, what about Cocoa-Based widgets? :?: From Zack Rusin’s blog: I finally got most the implementation of the HTML Canvas element for KHTML finished. It’s in the kdelibs-js branch in SVN. After George/Maks merge their other changes we’ll merge it to HEAD. I’m planning to add full OSX Dashboard compatibility layer for Plasma (hence why I’ve spent most of the day yesterday on implementing the Canvas element)… ...
The language of choice for large, high-performance applications in Linux is almost always C, or somewhat less often C++. Both are powerful languages that allow you to create high-performance natively compiled programs. However, they are not languages that lend themselves to runtime flexibility. Once a C/C++ application is compiled, its code is pretty much static. At times, that can be a real hindrance. For example, if you want to allow users of a program to create plugins easily that extend the application’s functionality, you have to deal with complex dynamic linking issues that can cause no end of headaches. Additionally, your users will have to know C/C++ in order to extend the application, which severely limits the number of people capable of writing extensions. ...
A custom kernel boots up the system faster, it takes up lesser memory space and one can install drivers for special hardware not supported by a default kernel… How to get it wrong? ;) Here is a interesting guide to compile the Kernel for FreeBSD.
XGL is an X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL. It is at an early stage in development and a number of important pieces are still missing. Xglx is the only server yet that use this architecture, it requires an already existing X server and is only intended for testing and development. Because of a slow “development process”, Novell decides to migrate the CVS of the Project and to make it private, paying developers to “speed up” the process. ...

Hi. Today I added a new page in the OUTPUT section: HOWTOs. Obviously, I will insert various kinds of howto. The first howto is in Italian (and in English, in the future) and is about .htaccess configuration (in development right now).
In my University the Open Source has not much esteemer: a my good friend make a interesting “analysis” about the usage of OS software to pass an examination. At Neminis.org. I found the gEDA Project for Electronic Design Automation: I love you Nemo :D. It does not run on my IceBook :(.
I’m searching on http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/ official confirmation but there isn’t. MacCity say… Probably the news is true but I hate posts/news without sources.
