Infoworld: ''Survey: Windows loses ground with developers''

''Survey: Windows loses ground with developers
Linux gaining share as the number of developers targeting Windows falls
12 percent, Evans Data says
By Paul Krill
July 02, 2007
Microsoft's Windows platform is losing traction as a target for
application developers in North America but still is the dominant
platform, according to Evans Data survey results being released on Tuesday.
A survey this spring of more than 400 developers and IT managers in
North America found that the number of developers targeting Windows for
their applications declined 12 percent from a year ago. Just 64.8
percent targeted the platform as opposed to 74 percent in 2006.
"We attribute [the decline] largely to the increase in developers
beginning to target Linux and different Linux [distributions]. Both
Novell and Red Hat are the two dominant ones right now," said John
Andrews, the CEO of Evans Data.
...
Linux targeting is expected to reach 16 percent over the next year.

Unpleasant change in fonts
by Jonathan Ryshpan
I have made some change to my system which has affected the fonts used
for window names and the names of thumbnails in Digikam, possibly other
situations. The fonts are very small and don't display certain
characters, in particular č, œ, etc. These fonts resist change by using
either the KDE ControlCenter->Appearance&Themes->Fonts tool or the Gnome
FontPreferences tool.
I have no idea what caused this; the only change I've made to the font
system lately is to install fonts-chinese and wqy-bitmap-fonts (also
Chinese fonts).
Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
Thanks - jon

Re: How to generate č (c-hachek) in KDE
by kwhiskerz
I don't speak Czech, but I experimented on my keyboard. Mine is set to pc105,
us intl (acentos) layout, both in xorg.conf and KDE Control Centre Keyboard
Layout. You really only need the latter, but defining it in xorg.conf means
all X programs know about the keyboard.
Type AltGr-Shift->, which produces a dead hachek, then type either lower or
upper case 'c'. Voilà! AltGr is the right Alt key. Typing AltGr-Shift-> twice
types the hachek without a letter underneath. All the dead keys work like
this.
If you want to configure xorg.conf, this is what I have (adjust for your
keyboard, but this is pretty generic):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "us-acentos"
EndSection
us-acentos is fantastic! It should be the default, as accents are required in
many English words or words commonly written in English, like voilà, naïve,
pie à la mode, please apply with a résumé, etc.

F7 64bit 4G Memory
by Srikanth Konjarla
All,
I am running F7 in 64-bit mode on a laptop. I have upgraded the memory
from 3G to 4G (Bios confirms it) but kernel sees only 3.2G (i have
passed mem=4096M kernel parameter). Wondering if i am missing anything here.
Snippet from dmesg
Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet mem=4096M
Memory: 3345780k/3407424k available (2321k kernel code, 61256k reserved,
1377k data, 316k init)
Thanks

How to install rshd on Fedora 7.
by 小波 顾
Hi, I am new to Linux, here are some questions about rsh and rshd.
So far what I know about them are as following:
1. rshd is the server process running on server machine to accept commands from clients.
2. rsh is the client utility used to connect remote rshd services and send commands.
3. rshd is often running as service on the server machine.
4. rsh is executed on demand, just like ps, pwd, etc.
Here are questions:
1. If some application use rsh to connect to the same machine to execute commands, does rshd have to run?
2. How to config rshd running as a service on Fedora 7? I have read some articles about using initd, but fedora 7 uses xinetd, which I am not familiar with.

Re: How to generate č (c-hachek) in KDE
by kwhiskerz
I think my last posting got lost, so here it is again:
Yes, as was pointed out, the diacritical mark plus space will also produce the
apostrophe, quotation mark, tilde, circumflex, hachek, accent grave, but not
the accent aigu (acute ´) nor the umlaut (diaresis ¨).
This is because umlaut/diaresis and quotation mark, and apostrophe and accent
acute/aigu each share a key.
AltGr-9 and AltGr-0 (zero) also are diacritical marks. Shifted, they can be
applied. I am not certain what they are. AltGr-Shift-9 puts a mark over
a 'g', as in Turkish, and AltGr-Shift-zero puts a circle over a 'y', and
other vowels, as in Scandinavian languages. There may be others I haven't
found.
Another observation: if you set the menu key (at right, next to right control)
to be the compose key, then it doesn't work in kmail (all of kde?). Set it to
right win instead.
Šheeşh¡
PS: The second 's' here, as appears in Turkish, was made using compose comma
+ 's'.
