C|Net News: “Red Hat is warming to the use of the Linux operating system on desktop computers, a difficult market where customers are picky and Microsoft is the leader.” Read more here.

Linux Orbit: “If you haven’t played BZFlag yet, now’s the time to give it a try. An update to the already cool 3D tank game was released on Wednesday, June 19, and the new client (1.7e6) has added some nice touches to an already mature game.”

C|Net is reporting that “Sharp has announced a new Linux-based handheld for the Japanese market. The company introduced the device at a press conference in Tokyo on Monday. The Zaurus SL-A300 uses the Linux operating system and will be available in Japan starting July 12 for 50,000 yen ($411).

Computerworld.NZ writes: “It’s easy to see why business customers feel comfortable with Red Hat. It’s a professionally packaged product, with a support infrastructure that helps ease migration pains from other platforms. The latest version of Red Hat Linux, 7.3, looks set to increase the North Carolina company’s foothold in the corporate market, thanks to slick features, versatility and of course that legendary Linux reliability – minus the budget-bursting licensing costs associated with non-open source operating systems…”

Kernel.org”: The first release candidate for Linux kernel 2.4.19 has been released. “Please test it extensively.”

CNet reports that Mozilla is slowly eating away IE’s Web browser market share, but it’s a slow change. OneStat claims IE still has more than 95% of the market.

ZDNet has the story: “Red Hat is warming to the use of the Linux operating system on desktop computers, a difficult market where customers are picky and Microsoft is the leader.
Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat, the leading seller of Linux, gets the vast majority of its revenue from the use of its product in servers — more powerful networked computers typically run by technically proficient administrators. But cost and security issues with Microsoft’s software, combined with the arrival of the Mozilla Web browser, have triggered Red Hat’s interest in a desktop Linux, Chief Executive Matthew Szulik said in an interview with ZDNet.” Welcome aboard, Red Hat.
