On Desktop Linux, the Mac, and Market Share
There is an old joke, popular among venture capitalists, that goes like this: Two guys are walking in the wilderness, when they spot a huge bear speeding toward them, gnashing its teeth. One of the guys pulls a pair of running shoes out of his backpack and starts putting them on.
"What are you doing? You can't outrun a bear," says the other guy.
"I don't need to outrun the bear," comes the answer. "I just need to outrun you."
That joke is about knowing precisely who the competition is. That's why I thought of it when I read Matt Asay's post from last year about Mark Shuttleworth identifying the Mac OS, and not Windows, as the desktop operating system to beat. Shuttleworth made comments to that effect in this Datamation interview, and I agree with him. It's right now, though, that we are really seeing the Linux desktop realize its potential, with the Mac OS still setting a good pace in the race.
Fedora 11's Ace-in-the-Hole: Microsoft Exchange Interoperability
As the upcoming release of Fedora 11 approaches--now slated for June 9th--it's starting to look like this new version could make a big difference for a lot of users and businesses. We reported on some of the more interesting features found in the Leonidas Preview, and now a number of other notable features are coming to light, including unprecedented interoperability with Microsoft Exchange. The interoperability features could have implications for many other Linux distributions.
Fedora 12 Team Taking Codename Suggestions
It seems like just yesterday Fedora 11's development team codenamed it's bouncing bundle of joy "Leonidas" (after the Spartan King, of course). Contributing members of the Fedora community are putting their heads together again to come up with a codename for Fedora 12, and if you've got a good suggestion you've only got until May 23rd to shout it out.

How can we, the Voters, tell the Presidential Candidates about this most important matter?
What kind of mass marketing style petition can we, the Voters who care about the failed Education System, put together to send to both Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama? To make this idea of every student who doesn't have a computer, own a linux powered laptop computer so they can access the internet for homework research and to create their own multimedia reports using OpenOffice and other such programs??? There has to be a coupon debit-like card with $300 to $600 that can only be used via schools and/or online vendors for the parents to purchase low cost linux powered laptop computers? But it has to be able to run Windows XP Home Ediition as another choice besides Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, or Debian.

VMWare slowing down Fedora?
I installed VMWare on Fedora and it seems like Fedora is running much slower.
I used to run OpenSUSE with a trial of VMWare and everything ran great. I reinstalled OpenSUSE on a new machine but I had problems because it couldn't detect my video card. I installed the 32bit Fedora instead and was able to find my card. I bought VMWare (I need some Windows software for work) but it runs slow, access to the DVD drives is slow and running XP while working in Fedora is slow. This was not the case last year. In general, it seems that my Fedora is not as fast as it should be.
Anyone else having similar issues??

Run Level-2 without installing FC6?
Can I enter run-level 2 via my FC6 install cd without installing FC6?
Also, what's the difference between RunLevel 2 and Rescure mode?
Delete a file with a "-" as the first character?
I have a file called -cfg.txt. I think it was created in the gui on a fedora core 4 box. When I try and rename it, I cannot. It keeps treating the - as a parameter, even when I try and do:
> mv \-cfg.txt abc.txt
or
>mv "-cfg.txt" abc.txt
Any ideas on how I can rename and cat this file?
