Links: Computing
A list of computing links, designed to channel people to the
interesting places and give an impression of my interests in this
area.
- Free Software Foundation
(http://www.fsf.org/)
- The Free Software Fondation, best known for the GNU (GNU's
Not Unix) project and the GPL (General Public License). You
may not agree with their ideology, but if it was not for their
work I had probably given up on computers by now.
- Linux Online
(http://www.linux.org/)
- A good starting point for people who want to find out
about the Linux operating system. If you are a UNIX guru you
will probably be better off somewhere else, but you already
knew that.
- http://www.bsd.org/
- While not the most impressive looking web page around, this
one provides an easy starting point to explore the world of the
many flavours of BSD UNIX.
- http://www.java.sun.com/
- This is SUN's Java home page. Here you can grab the
various SDKs and find out (almost) everything you ever wanted
to know about Java.
- Gnome
(http://www.gnome.org/)
- Gnome is a desktop environment for UNIX available under
the GPL.
- KDE
(http://www.kde.org/)
- The K Desktop Environment is pursuing a similar goal as the
Gnome effort.
- /.
(http://slashdot.org/)
- It says "News for Nerds" right on the front page. Go
figure. However, if you are prepared to wade through a huge
amount of noise, you will find this an invaluable source for
computing information and funny tidbits.
- The Code Project (http://www.codeproject.com/)
- One of the few genuinely useful sites about Windows programming.
