This month’s magazine focuses on what goes on behind the scenes. Whether you’re developing for Fedora Core, writing scripts to make your life easier, integrating Java applications, or simply trying to get better performance out of your systems, the Red Hat Magazine has advice to offer.
Each RH Magazine is a good lecture: short but informative articles on interesting topics. I wish they made pdfs available for all articles.
I will be SO glad when the fiasco that is java gets sorted out in the free software world. Between GCJ and the multiple JRE/JDK’s installed in a typical distro, it becomes VERY frustrating trying to figure out what java is actually being used. Often a symlinked file /usr/bin/java is linked to some file in /etc/java, which itself is linked to some jre in /usr/lib/java, etc. And then GCJ gets thrown in to the mix. I understand the freedom issues involved, but from an end-user standpoint, it a all a tangled mess. “Write Once, Run Sometimes” is the new motto!
