Managing MySQL with MySQL Workbench | Linux and Open Source | TechRepublic.com: “MySQL is still the most popular open source SQL database available.

Ubuntu 10.4 lives up to the hype | Linux and Open Source | TechRepublic.com: “I realize over the last couple of months I have been just as guilty of hyping up Ubuntu 10.4 as every other person in the media. And I confess there was a small portion of my brain that was concerned the latest-greatest from Canonical couldn’t possibly live up to every fragment of hype surrounding the release. 10.4 Was being billed as the golden child of Linux from all corners of the Linux-verse.
