boinc in fedora?
Hello, how about having Boinc (the client for distributed computing) part of the main repository. And fix a gui/make an integration to let say a screensaver activation so it only runs when user is idle. Use it as a marketing purpose and say fedora comes ready to participate in for example distributed climate prediction! //Jonas -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

Use it as a marketing purpose and say fedora comes ready to participate in for example distributed climate prediction! There are many such distributed clients. The Boinc client is under LGPL and can be made available in Fedora which would be the first step before connecting it to a screensaver. If you are interested in doing so, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join Also FYI, http://wiki.debian.org/BOINC Rahul -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
Laptops designed for Linux: Matt Domsch
Hi Matt Domsch, Dell employee and Fedora Board member talks about the importance of Free kernel drivers in the upstream kernel to the selection of Dell systems to run Linux amoung other details. Good to hear more people get the right ideas and spread it along. http://www.linuxworld.com/podcasts/linux/2007/081407-linuxcast.html Now that Dell offers Linux as an option on desktops and notebooks, how does that affect the company's hardware selections? LinuxWorld Conference and Expo speaker Matt Domsch explains how Dell uses vendors' free drivers at kernel.org to help pick the hardware that goes into the next generation of Dell products.

2007 Desktop Linux Survey
Has anyone been keeping an eye on specific desktop use? Not just in Fedora but across the board. The 2007 Linux Survey was released with some interesting results. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8454912761.html The Red Hat/Fedora family -- which this year includes CentOS -- came in at the fourth spot with 9 percent. This represents a small loss from last year when Fedora had 7 percent, while Red Hat added in a mere 2.2 percent, for a total, including smaller Red Hat/Fedora-based distributions of less than 10 percent.

This is the results of the online survey of 38.000 users asking for their desktop/laptop usage. There are some odd results such as Gentoo being on 7% while Mandriva not showing up much at all. I wasn't even aware they were doing a survey earlier. Interesting results nevertheless. The usage of thunderbird and virtualbox for example.
