Free Linux DVDs from Oracle

Sarthak — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:55:35 +0000

Oracle has joined the list of vendors offering free media consisting of Linux distributions – a list which includes Canonical which ships Ubuntu and Fedora under their Free Media Program. Oracle is now giving its Linux distribution, named Oracle Unbreakable Linux – a 2 DVD set.

Head over to this page, type in your snail mail address and Oracle will ship your their DVD set of their own Linux distribution called the Unbreakable Linux. For support you’ll have to pay extra.

I myself have got Ubuntu and love the software, which you can preview from the boot CD without installing. Though I am currently running Windows XP on my PC, I would love to switch over to the Linux camp once appropriate softwares for video editing are available.

eBay is The World’s Online Marketplace®, enabling trade on a local, national and international basis. With a diverse and passionate community of individuals and small businesses, eBay offers an online platform where millions of items are traded each day.

In India, Ebay bought the domestic online auction house bazee.com and converted it into a more secure and user friendly online market. I myself, have been hooked to it, since some of the bargains there are just unbelievable. I manged to lay my hands on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for a mere Rs 200! It was completely new.

For the past few months I haven’t really been active on ebay, and they mailed me a 10% discount coupon to come back and shop :).

Newbies often wonder – what is RSS?

Well, RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Benefits of RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually.

More about RSS
RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999,[4] the RSS icon first gained widespread use in 2005/2006.
