Review:GNOME Developer's Guide
GNOME 2 Developer's Guide
Reviewed by Major Keary
Acronyms and other names beginning with 'G' are ubiquitous in the Linux world and GNOME is one of them; it is an acronym for GNU Network Object Model
Environment. "The Gnome project began in 1997 as a way to bring free software to the computer desktop [and] today … is one of the most used desktops in the world. … Gnome is unique because, from the beginning, it had a strong focus on creating a development platform to provide services for applications: services that developers typically expect to find on their operating systems"
[Miguel de Icaza in foreword to The Official GNOME 2 Developer's
Guide]. Linux distributions come with one or more (or even all) of
three alternative desktop environments: GNOME, KDE (Kdesktop environment),
and fvwm2, of which GNOME seems to be the most popular.
Review: Qmail
qmail by John Levine
Reviewed by Major Keary
Qmail is a widely used mail transfer agent (MTA)
capable of handling mail with, literally, millions of users, but is
sufficiently compact for deployment on small Linux and Unix
systems.
