In 1991, Linus Torvalds began to work on the Linux kernel while he was attending the University of Helsinki. Torvalds originally created the Linux kernel as a non-commercial replacement for the Minix kernel; he later changed his original non-free license to the GPLv2, which differed primarily in that it also allowed for commercial redistribution. Linux filled the last major gap in running a complete, fully functional free operating system. |

We recently ran our annual ONLamp.com survey to find out more about you, our readers. As usual, we learned many interesting things, not just about you but also about our questions and our survey itself. 587 people completed the survey, which is enough to get some good statistical analysis. Here are some of the gems.

Believe me, you don't want to see Dan Rather in High Definition. The pancake makeup does a swell job of concealing Rather's cosmetic blemishes from the smudgy gaze of yesterday's technology. But HDTV will show you things you don't want to see. Clotted lumps of flesh-tone putty filling pores like spackle, silver fillings flashing like a mirror in the desert sun. |

Hopefully, the inaugural column convinced you that SQL is a skill you want to have under your belt. In case you missed it, here's a quick synopsis: SQL is a database manipulation language, pure and simple. It is a rich language -- it has a number of commands for managing the database structure itself, powerful functions, many data types, and other useful features -- but at its most basic level, SQL is simply about three things:

The night that divides the two days of tutorials from the three-day conference at the fifth annual O'Reilly Open Source Convention is reserved for the States of the Union addresses. Luminaries from the open source communities of Perl, Python, PHP, MySQL, Apache, and Linux each spoke for just under a half hour to present their take on the current state of their technology and where it is headed.

Of all the grand promises from futurists--the flying car and personal robotic assistants--home automation is one of the few technologies that you can enjoyably, and relatively inexpensively, implement today. In fact, if you're at all technically inclined and enjoy tinkering, it's a fun hobby that you can enjoy and everyone else in your household can benefit from. To get started, you'll need a computer, some X10-based lighting and appliance control modules, and home automation software that you program to manage it all.

Several months ago, David Axmark and Monty Widenius of the MySQL team visited us in Sebastopol and they dropped a new term in our laps: LAMP. This term was popular in Germany, they said, to define how MySQL was used in conjunction with Linux, Apache, and either Perl, Python, or PHP. Their explanation of LAMP made a lightbulb go off in my head.

The key problem in hooking up a PPP link to an ISP is that the ISPs seem to compete with each other as to who can find another obscure way of authenticating users. Thus we have login, PAP, CHAP 05, CHAP80, CHAP80-lanman, CHAP81, and combinations of these. The chief difficulty of connecting to an ISP is discovering which technique is actually being used by the ISP in an orderly way. Since few of them know anything about Linux, and since few of them even understand what technique they actually use, this procedure should allow you to set up without their help, and to understand what the ISP's help means if it is given. |
