I (Hungry Penguin) have written another article for Linux.com, this time about PC-BSD.

Until recently FreeBSD lacked an easy-to-use desktop version. In 2005 the PC-BSD project was started to provide just that. This month PC-BSD version 7 was released. I downloaded and installed it to see how it squares up to user-friendly Linux distributions like Ubuntu.

I had high expectations of PC-BSD, as much is said of FreeBSD's stability and security, and having used FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD, I knew that FreeBSD has lots to offer... Follow the link below to see what I found out.

Hi,

To coincide with the release of my "Learning FreeNAS" book I have started a new website LearnFreeNAS.com.

It is a one stop site for tips, articles, tutorials and videos about FreeNAS the Open Source Network Attached Storage OS.

Thanks,

The thing I love about open source is the vast number of turnkey solutions that are available free... free as in beer and free was in speech. If you have an idea for a web site it can quickly be turned into a reality using open source projects. Here are a few sites I have been working on and they are all powered by open source starting at the server with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP:

• Dirstop.com - An web directory powered by the open source application "php Link Directory"
  
• www.glowdir.com - This is similar to Dirstop.com and is also running on "php Link Directory"
  
• Bonkersnews.com is a weird and odd news site. Although it is a custom script, it is written in the open source language of PHP.
  

Finally, I have also started another blog called "Review My Site".

Thanks,

THP

I thought I better get my blog put in Technorati... In case you didn't know Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs.

My quest for world domination continues with the release of two new websites. Of course these sites run on Linux servers using open source tools such as MySQL, Apache and PHP.

They are both news and press release related sites (and they are both still being developed to their full potential):

Alert the Media

Press Release Cloud

Enjoy!!!
