Dennis Ritchie
We know that working at the patent office of AT & T. Not so well known is that their inventions are encodings as an artist performing on the canvas with great simplicity where there is great complexity, synthesizing many previous efforts.

Whitix 0.2b
A system like-unix GPL small 6.4MB is available for testing at any display VGA or virtualized in higher resolution and its entrails are available in tar.gz source . As Minix (missing a driver for each piece of hardware) but incompatible with the Xorg server.
It also provides live a release candidate prior to the manual on-line intrinsic function can be consulted . They have been so far the gcc compiler and implementations of Python and Mono. Immature (just over a year old) but nice. Think rewriting the kernel and microkernel, compiling with LDC (since the language chosen would be D) and call Whitix-ng (Next Generation). Ambitious.
Behold the King: Unix 40 years
GNU is not Unix, but we can not deny the relationship.

QT 4.5
In the beginning (1994) was Trolltech and graphics libraries and expanded the possibilities of free Unix GNU / Linux. Nokia has just announced the availability of open source QT 4.5 (apart paradox is to promote open source SymbianOS to compete in the always open and always open Linux KDE applicant of the QT, nothing's stopping by the way). The novelty is that the name is converted to QtDesigner Qt Creator IDE into a very modern 1.0 SDK that supports WebKit, Flash, JScript engine and launches a new framework for improving Cocoa development on Mac OS X. Interoperability and integration with KDevelop will be news from my user experience in a few weeks.
PC-BSD 7.1 "Galileo" αlpha2
Faster than my updates to PCBSD is the development of BSD Unix FreeDesktop more "pretty" and easy when installing software, now based on FreeBSD 7.1-Stable and adding Xorg 7.4 (headaches for Kris Moore and colleagues) with KDE 4.2. I guess you already have full support in Spanish from the preferred windowmanager Linus Benedict Torvalds.

How to write your Linux virus in 5 easy steps.
This is the headline with which I am in http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/6229
As discussed in the web that mention, has always been said that Linux and Unix systems are extremely safe. Sim, however, that as time passes these systems be gaining users, and these programs using increasingly more complex and more "automatic / comfortable", causes the lack of knowledge, the routine use or lack of foresight made our system as robust, at least internally, to become a sieve. In the article that I have left are described 5 steps to create a type of software that is able to spread through almost every Linux and Unix with Gnome and / or KDE and cause damage that can be considered quite simply with a little social engineering. This article could easily open multiple debates but particularly I think the more necessary would be to talk about the minimum training that anyone should have when using a computer, after all we have learned also all driving?
Submitted DragonFly BSD 2.2

Improvements in the Phoronix-test-suite 1.6 "Tydal"
Phoronix's teammates have provided a list of improvements that will bring new cross-platform suite of benchmarks that they have developed. Until the end of this month will not be presented, but we can go see the improvements that will be incorporated. A project that I consider very interesting, it was time there was any test suite for Linux / Unix / Mac and even higher with free tools and free, this trend away from Windows to use commercial suites.
