Developer TV Get Focused on Linux
Host: Kuldip Oberoi
Guest: Barton George
Episode Overview
Get Focused on Linux
This week Barton George Sun's Linux strategist flies in from Austin, TX to chat with Kuldip about what Sun is doing in the GNU/Linux arena. It's interesting to hear that Linux is a significant component of Sun's strategy - providing customers with choice.
Barton talks about Sun's substantial contributions to the Linux OS. Did you know that over the years, Sun has contributed more software to the GNU/Linux operating system than any other vendor? He also explains that the operating system has been a big hit on Sun's x64-based systems and has helped to give more developers access to its software.
Hear about the latest version of Ubuntu, 7.04 which now provides the community with access to Sun's "Java Stack": GlassFish, Java JDK, Netbeans, and Java DB.
Check out and download Ubuntu 7.04 right now for free with direct access to the Java Stack.
The Geek Gadget Guru has found yet another great gadget. He has tracked down the best little GPS. Have you seen the Mio C220? It's portable and comes preloaded with maps. Looks like a great deal to me.
Stay tuned for more on Linux.
