William Kessler's World: Top Ten Benifits for Owning a Linux Box
Site: William Kessler's World
Post: Top Ten Benifits for Owning a Linux Box
William gives us his top 10 reasons for owning a Linux box. The list includes some the standards like Total Cost of Ownership and high security. My problem with the list is that there is no supporting links to his claims. Does anyone have any supporting material for William's claims?

Linux.com has a posting entitled 'An introduction to services, runlevels, and rc.d scripts.' This article covers just what the title says.

KlamAV - Bringing The Power of ClamAV To The KDE Desktop
The site BSD Linux Gangster has a posting on KlamAV. KlamAV is an anti-virus program for KDE enviornment. The article opens with why a Linux or BSD user should install an anti-virus program on their system. I know that the risk of a Linux or BSD system getting a virus is really low. I think it is just a matter of time before Linux gets hit with its first virus.

Collaborative Portal Server
Today I came across the CPS Project. Collaborative Portal Server (CPS) is collaborative web content management system. You can use this to implement collaborative protals.

This looks like the open source competitor to Sharepoint. I wish I had a project to test CPS out on. I will have to try to keep this tool in mind.

Festival - A Text to Speech synthesis software in Linux
The blog 'All About Linux' has an interesting post on 'Festival - A Text to Speech synthesis software in Linux.' I think I will have to give Festival a try. There are several books I just don't have time to read. I should be able to listen to a book and play with my three year old at the same time.
