The Virtual Workplace

The virtual world isn't just for gaming anymore, imagine if you will, going to work in the virtual world. The days of boring conference calls or expensive cross country meetings could be a thing of the past in a few years.

There are several companies working on this technology, trying to figure out how to leverage the virtual world to provide an on line, 3D enhanced, virtual workplace. This happens to be one such approach that I find rather interesting.

More Knowledge

Going through my bookmarks I stumbled on another university site with free content.

This site is in a basic list format, so it is easy to see what is available.

Where did my distro come from?

Everyone has their favorite distro, but did you ever wonder the origins of your favorite distro?

Below are a couple of nice graphics that give some time lines and histories of Unix and Linux distros.

Free to learn

Here is another example of one of our fine universities extending course material to the public, "for all who wish to learn".
All though there is limited content, I really like the way the site is laid out, it is easy to maneuver and find the content you are interested in.
