Ncomputing and Microsoft VLA

One of the questions we get asked is how multi-user clients such as Ncomputing are licensed (or unsanctioned) under Microsoft XP Pro. For the longest time MS would not comment and forced people to make assumpotions. Last year in March the definitive sanction was finally issued by Microsoft.

Computerworld - Open-source medical software has been around for over 30 years. Unless you are in healthcare IT, however, chances are you've never even heard of it. But that's poised to change.

Usually these lists of open source software start with statistics or general observations on current trends in the open source community. This one starts with a personal story.

I used to use a thumb drive to backup my budget software, and I also kept a copy of our tax returns on the same drive. While the files were password protected, I didn't encrypt them because the drive never left the house, and we don't exactly live in a high crime area.

Setting up Kannel 1.4.1 in Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop was easy.
The challenging part was finding the right GSM modem or cellphone because some hardware vendors still refuse to cooperate with us in the Free Software and Open Source Software communities. Woe to those vendors!

Googling a bit I found out that Huawei E220 GSM modem works well with a GNU/Linux system.
