SolarNetOne: Solar-powered networking for anyone
In many parts of the world, the power grid is shoddy, computers are scarce, and connectivity is even rarer. Thus, as with many other modern practices and technologies, populations are increasingly split into the "computing haves" and the "computing have-nots." But many are addressing the divide. SolarNetOne is a turnkey Internet hotspot -- power, computers, and satellite uplink -- that you can install virtually anywhere, for less than the cost of a subcompact car. 		30 Jun 2009  
 
Speaking UNIX: The Squirrel portable shell and scripting language
If you don't want to commit to the idiosyncrasies of a specific shell running on a particular platform, try the Squirrel Shell. The Squirrel Shell provides an advanced, object-oriented scripting language that works equally well on UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows systems. Write a script once, and run it anywhere. 		17 Mar 2009  
 
Scale your file system with Parallel NFS
The Network File System (NFS) is a stalwart component of most modern local area networks (LANs). But NFS is inadequate for the demanding input- and output-intensive applications commonly found in high-performance computing -- or, at least it was. The newest revision of the NFS standard includes Parallel NFS (pNFS), a parallelized implementation of file sharing that multiplies transfer rates by orders of magnitude. Here's a primer. [Note: The article has been updated with regard to vendor involvement in the origin and development of pNFS -- Ed.] 		26 Nov 2008  
 
Monitor file system activity with inotify
Inotify is a Linux feature that monitors file system operations, such as read, write, and create. Inotify is reactive, surprisingly simple to use, and far more efficient than, say, busy polling from a cron job. Learn how to integrate inotify into your own applications, and discover a set of command-line tools you can use to further automate system administration. 		16 Sep 2008  
 
Port your code around the world with m17n
To make Linux applications usable worldwide, with no inequity between Western dialects and the rest of the world's many languages, you must be able to deliver localized versions that input, store, retrieve, and render any language, no matter how complex. The multilingualization library, or m17n, provides a single internationalization solution for all languages on UNIX-like platforms. 		17 Oct 2006  
 
Embeddable scripting with Lua
Compiled programming languages and scripting languages each have unique advantages, but what if you could use both to create rich applications? Lua is an embeddable scripting language that is small, fast, and very powerful. Before you create yet another configuration file or resource format (and yet another parser to accompany it), try Lua. 		28 Apr 2006  
 
Open source licensing, Part 2: Academic v. reciprocal
Open source licenses provide the legal foundation for propagation of open source code. This article, the second of two in the "Open source licensing" series, explores the two most popular forms of open source licenses -- the academic license and the reciprocal license -- and describes the obligations of licensees that accept the terms of each. 		15 Nov 2005  
 
Open source licensing, Part 1: The intent
The phrase "open source license" refers to a large number of agreements that license the copyrights inherent in software widely, fairly, and with the fewest restrictions possible. This article -- the first of two -- describes the tenets of copyright and explains the intents of an open source license. Part 2 of this series explores individual licenses, such as the GNU Public License and the Apache License. 		04 Oct 2005
