I for one actually like this idea. In a way it is similar to what windows programs often do: bundle critical dll:s with the application. One great advantage with this is that a packaged application...

Bad example.

It would not have made a difference in that case if it had been BSD licensed since Oracle owned the full copyright (in the old days, MySQL AB had two releases: a paid-for permissive...

From some discussion on the llvmlinux mailing list, I read something like this:

Apparently, the LLVM-specific patches needed for LLVMlinux will be much smaller (or non-existent?) after the release...

Personally, I find musl libc a very interesting project and I hope to see some desktop-oriented distros built on this library sometime in the near future (there are a couple of distros, but mostly...

+1 great definition!

Should be put in every dictionary on the planet.

Lets just hope that Samsung goes "all in" on F2FS and releases drivers for Windows and MacOSX to ultimately replace FAT-based file systems in their devices (cameras, tablets, phones, TVs ...). If one...

Has anyone tried to run PTS on the smaller PH7 engine instead of the standard PHP?

http://ph7.symisc.net/

I remember seeing a benchmark of normal PHP vs Facebook's PHP-to-C++ converter. It...

Is there an easy overview somewhere with the diff sizes between the Android kernel and Linus' branch with the corresponding version number and how this has evolved over the kernel releases?

Also,...

Funnily enough, the Plan9 kernel is smaller than many so-called microkernels...

I have seen several mentions about cparser/libfirm around the net lately.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cparser/

it apparently acts on top of gcc mostly but got some llvm-like designs. Not...

There are two things that I feel are needed in order to be able to use Calligra instead of LO:

- ability to save in legacy (.doc, .docx) formats (+ improve LO .odt compatibility, especially...

BTW have there been any Windows vs Wine vs native Linux Phoronix benchmarks performed?

I know that there are some windows-vs-linux benchmarks, but it would be interesting to see what the...

Thorvalds once said something like "when Microsoft starts writing software for Linux, I have won". I think he basically meant that he was not very interested in market shares etc, but that this would...

Running under wine _is_ basically running native. No CPU emulation or anything else. NT syscalls are caught by a userspace library, which probably is a bit slower. If you want the performance of...

There are strong and weak points with both static and dynamic linking. I do not even presume to know all the details, but a static binary does not have to be executed via the linker, so it is...

tip just put them on your ignore list, then if people could just stop feeding the trolls you won't see anything by them any more (now you see the quoted text in replies).

Plan9 is indeed cool and is in fact my favourite hobby OS. It utilities are unix-like but often not-quite-unix and I have had to build a few utilities from sbase and Heirloom for APE to be able to...

For fairness sake, it says already at the front page that it is a Suckless/OpenBSD/Linux-based distro.

But indeed, it is its 100% static nature that makes me very interested in it. I am...

I looked through the packages in my starch chroot and the majority of the unix utilities originate from sbase.

For the util-linux utilities: It is natural that some of those will have to be...

look closer.

The "coreutils" is not the GNU coreutils but rather an assembly of suckless.org "sbase" and OpenBSD utilities.

I guess they have used the name "coreutils" for Arch compatibility...
