Linux Desktop Without X11 Linux Desktop Without X11 Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday May 15, @03:34PM from the it-could-happen dept. A writes "Rocklyte systems have announced the first version of their Athene Operating System. It is a desktop and embedded operating system built on the Linux kernel, but without the "aging X11". Instead, it uses the SciTech SNAP graphics system with which it is possible to completely re-theme the desktop to look like the famous AmigaOS GUI or another famous UI. For backwards compatibility, an X11 server is also available in the system. The system can run completely off the CD, without needing to be installed on the harddrive." [Slashdot] 8:53:14 AM

It shows how to authenticate to LDAP, perform queries, and do meaningful things with the results in both command-line and CGI programs." It goes on to give good sample code in Perl, Python, and PHP that really lets you see how the 3 languages each accomplish the same task. 8:15:51 AM
