Donwtown, Cairo

EGLUG will meet with Caryn from Benetech who is visiting Egypt to introduce Martus

Martus is a software tool that allows users to document incidents of abuse by creating bulletins, uploading them at the earliest opportunity, and storing them on redundant servers located around the world.

Caryn will demonstrate martus for us and we'll discuss how EGLUG can help Egyptian organizations planning to use this piece of FOSS, and then we'll all go have dinner somewhere near downtown and chat about FOSS for community development and public service (what americans would call A Birds of a Feather session).

FreeBSD for Linux users (Orielly Article)

Posted by Al-Basha on Thu, 18/11/2004 - 21:23 :: Advocacy | Community | Distributions | Individuals

Salam everyone,

Check out: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2004/11/11/FreeBSD_Basics.html

This is a great article on the many differences (and similarities) between FreeBSD and Linux. FreeBSD 5.3 (stable) just came out a few days ago, I haven't had a chance to try it but I highly recommend it.

Also just in case you're wondering, FreeBSD has a linux emu so you can run a lot of Linux based apps, although there are limitations (namely linux binaries with kernel hooks).
