The review covers installation, configuration, specifications, what makes Caldera special and much more.”

ZDNet reports that Advanced Micro Devices has announced plans to lay off 2,300 employees — 15

In Segment Two- Recap the Road Ahead Follow up from last week
We did get some interesting email and comments on IRC during last weeks show that do merrit a mention. So, we will take a moment to recap last weeks show.

In Segment Three- “Microsoft, Linux and the Fat Lady PART SEVEN”- or Contrary to many opinions, Linux is far from over and Microsoft still has a very very long road ahead
This is PART SEVEN of a segment that has carried us the last couple months. Some people are telling me to put it aside. In the words of John Adams,“I SAY NEVER”

This week we will focus on the aftermath of the Federal Court doing a MAJOR followup reversal for the MS anti-trust suit. Microsoft has been offered a gift horse to step forward and make a settlement proposal. Many view this as a win for Microsoft, other view this as a practicle need to get the damn case overwith. BUT……Will the ego of Bill Gates allow this to happen

Other opinions are welcome at GeekCast. If you would like to join us on the show, check our IRC Chat(irc.thelinuxshow.com #linuxshow).
