Kudos to DeveloperIQ for giving us a lot of info on Linux in its Vol I No
5 issue. Wish they would have more Linux-related software on their CD too!
Check out a copy (Rs 50, including CD). Their site is www.developeriq.com
Some highlights of the issue:
[] How Green is the Linux Valley? Editorial by Ramdas S 
[] On the CD -- the popular Apache web server for Linux.
   Also, ScriptViewer, a great server side utility for
   the PHP developer and PHPTriad 1.02 -- a complete
   PHP development platform. Also PhatLinux, which can be
   actually loaded from Windows.
[] Queries in the Post-Your-Problem section : compliling
   code in Linux, etc....
[] LEAD STORY: Open Sesame -- A look at where Open
   Source stands today, whether there are business
   models that allow Open Source developers to make
   money; for the newbie, a look at the history and
   logic of Open Source, etc, etc
[] How to 'Eat Open Source'. Includes: 
   Pricing products, paying developers
   Motivation to write open source software
   Why writing open source software is good
   Strategies for revenue generation
   Paid project management
   This article is by Abhas Abhinav of Deeproot Linux.
[] Free Intellectual Property -- Why it makes sense.
   On the face of it, it seems to go against
   business sense, the fact that intellectual 
   property is made available and free...
[] In the beginning, there was no code: The 
   story of how Linux was born.
[] Famous words by Linus Torvalds: "If you
   want to travel around the world and be
   invited to speak at a lot of different
   places, just write a Unix operating system."
[] A Who's Who of the Linux Landscape: 
   Introduces us to the movers and shakers
   at the international level. 
[] On the above list is SUNIL SAXENA: Spell
   Linux backwards and you get Sunil. Sunil
   Saxena, head of Intel's Microcomputer 
   Software Labs, and Linus Torvald's key
   contact at the chip giant. He has spear-
   headed Intel's effort to work closely with
   Linux developers and has put in much 
   effort into ensuring that their
   forthcoming Itanium chip (Merced) will be
   finely tuned for Linux, and vice versa...
[] Six myths about Linux: (i) Linux costs
   nothing (ii) Linux is not stable and
   difficult to support (iii) Linux can 
   replace Windows on the desktop (iv) Linux
   does not support other formats (v) Linux
   is difficult to learn (vi) Development
   on Linux is tough...
[] Why Linux is a hit on servers...
[] Processing the visa to Linux country: A
   guide for IS managers.For those who 
   agree that a migration to Linux makes more
   sense, we present a simple guide adapted
   from interviews, white papers and
   research articles...
[] Deciding on the best programming language...
[] Choosing from scripting tools (Perl, PHP,
   Python, Tcl, and Java servlets).
[] Open Source definition: from then to
   now.
