NewsForge | Building a distro

NewsForge | Building a distro - "You download a CD or maybe a diskette image, transfer it to the appropriate media, boot your computer with it, and voilà, you're running Linux. It sounds so simple -- but a great deal of work goes into creating that software. Beginning about two years ago, I spent a year and a half building a desktop-oriented GNU/Linux distribution named MfxLinux, designed to be tightly integrated with Crowell Systems' Medformix medical office management system. Along the way, as with any project a lot of design and implementation decisions had to be made -- some of which worked out better than others."

This distro was designed specifically to use with a Linux-based medical office management system.  So, here's the question: what about the legal field?  Can a law office management system based on Linux be developed?  And a distro to go with it?  Sure it could.

But BetaNews has learned Microsoft has no plans to renew contracts for Passport with third-party sites.
Microsoft's initial comments Wednesday evening to BetaNews were quite vague as to the company's true position on the future of Passport.

from the go-forth-and-experiment dept.
SimCityHippy wrote to us with the news that TiVo has TiVo To Go. Right now, the To Go feature is supported only on Windows XP & Win2k; no word on whether the feature will be rolled out to OS X or WinME. It's also interesting to note that while they recommend Windows MP, VLC gets a nod as well.
