Big boy Microsoft  submitted 20,000 lines of code to the Linux kernel community for review and inclusion into the Linux kernel tree. All under the GPLv2 license.

The code, made up of 3 Linux drivers will  enable all flavours for Linux to run on Windows 2008 through it’s Hyper-V hypervisor technology. Providing better cross platform/vendor support and performance gains.

Well, I guess even the giant now realises that it’s time to come out and share. Doing it alone doesn’t quite work any more. The community really does have a voice that gets heard!

It’s going to be interesting to see the community’s response to this thou. There’s going be mixed feelings for sure. The haters vs the lovers.

From my point of view, this move will take Linux deeper into the enterprise arena. Organisations that were once pro Windows will now have more options that directly enable them to support and run more applications on different platforms.

What do you think?

Dropbox

Dropbox has finally come out of beta and is now available to everyone. With the public launched the company also introduced their open source Linux client which integrates seamlessly with nautilus and with a bit of work, KDE too. Get dropbox now. There is also a dedicated client for the iPhone.

I guess with Dropbox and Internet connectivity one could forget about their USB thumb drives now.

Chances are you can’t if you’re behind a squid proxy.

Here’s the fix/workaround,

Add the lines below into your squid.conf file. should be in /etc/squid/squid.conf. Restart squid and you should be good to go.

#> vi /etc/squid/squid.conf

add lines into /etc/squid.conf
# Fix support.microsoft.com by removing Accept-Encoding header
acl support.microsoft.com dstdomain support.microsoft.com
header_access Accept-Encoding deny support.microsoft.com

#> service squid restart

The other way is to remove the tick from “Use HTTP1.1 through proxy connections” in IE’s Advanced internet options tab. Beware that this might break other sites.

Update:

Newer versions of squid need a different approach as demonstrated by Dave over at davehope.co.uk
