[CS-FSLUG] OfB.biz: Rendezvous with the Desktop

[Timothy R. Butler]

This past week a number of exciting developments toward the 
popularization of Open Source desktops occurred. Novell heralded the 
arrival of Mono 1.0. Mandrakesoft announced the acquisition of a French 
IT services firm, further indicating its return to financial health. 
Real Networks inked deals to bundle Helix and Real Players on major 
GNU/Linux desktops. Out of the noise and clammer, nevertheless, there 
are two announcements that I believe are the best tickets to moving the 
GNU/Linux desktop forward, and they both had a name other than Red Hat, 
Novell or Mandrakesoft attached to them. They both involved Apple.
