[ilugd] [OT]Making business sense of Open Source/Free Software

2008-02-17 Thread S Gantayet
Hi All
The common question that many people not familiar with Open Source/Free 
software business model ask is - if a software is
free and Open Source, how do the companies who are involved in Open
Source SURVIVE (make profit!!)!!!

I came across this wonderful blog which answers the above aptly and is
the best that I have come across. The 'eight' attributes that makes
OpenSource/Free software have business sense is worth having a look
at, and understand. These are exactly the ones that makes Open Source
profitable and successful. Wanted to share this in this forum. Check it out
at:
http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/kelly08/kelly08_index.html

I am sure this article will make sense of the Open Source business!!

Re: [ilugd] Version control for /etc

2008-02-17 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
I find the best mechanism to version control /etc is bzr
(http://bazaar-vcs.org). All you need to do is to 'cd' to /etc and run
'bzr init'. From that point, you can start maintaining 'in-place' all
the files under /etc. No separate repository needed. No 'CVS' directory
in every subdirectory. Just keep adding the files to version control
using 'bzr add' and get all the benefits of VCS. A simple 'bzr export'
will give you a pristine copy to backup whenever you want it.
