NewsForge | Review: Novell's Openexchange Server is powerful, versatile - "After testing this product for six months prior to this review, we believe that OpenExchange is "absolutely!" a replacement for Microsoft Exchange in small/medium businesses, especially those that have Internet-connected networks and those who need Internet email access. Its functionality, security, stability, reliability, and platform-independence trump the shortcomings of Microsoft Exchange."

freshmeat.net: Project details for Visopsys - "Visopsys is an alternative operating system for PC compatible computers. Under development since late 1997, this system is small, fast, and open source. It features a simple but attractive interface, real preemptive multitasking, and virtual memory. Though it attempts to be compatible in a number of ways, Visopsys is not a clone of any other operating system. You can demo the distribution from a "live" CD or floppy disk."

prostoalex writes "OSNews carries "a quick roundup" of 18 (they are not kidding, eighteen) live Linux distributions. Among those who made the list: Basilisk (based on Fedora), BeatrIX (based on Debian/Knoppix/Ubuntu), Berry Linux (based on Fedora), Damn Small Linux (based on Debian), FreeSBIE (based on Free BSD), Gnoppix (Knoppix/Debian plus Gnome, now merged with Ubuntu), Kanotix (modified Knoppix/Debian), Knoppix (the first big live CD, based on Debian), Luit (Debian/Xfce, rox filing system), Mandrake Move (based on Mandrake), Mepis (Debian), Morphix (modular Debian), PCLinuxOS Preview (a Mandrake fork), Sam (Mandrake/Xfce), SLAX (Slackware), Suse 9.1 and 9.2 (rpm-based), Ubuntu Live (Debian), Xfld (Debian/Damn Small Linux and Xfce). To call it a review would be a stretch, although a helpful paragraph on each operating system's claim to fame is provided."

A portable HDTV system - "Is a fully self-contained HDTV system that you could easily transport by yourself a real possibility? We're not talking about a mobile system built into a car, or something hand-held. We mean a fully capable system, with display, 5.1 channel audio, and DVR capability. "
