Another Serious Security Bug on PHP 5.3.9 By Manuel Lemos PHP 5.3.9 release was mostly meant to fix a security bug, but it introduced a new more serious bug.

PHP 5.3.10 was just released to fix this issue.

The VAR Guy: "If the candidates did run Linux, which distribution would they choose? At the risk of offending various groups of people, here are my answers, for better or for worse."

MakeUseOf: All of these Linux distributions use .rpm files as installable packages rather than the .deb files which belong to the Debian family.

The Linux desktop landscape is a diverse place.

As an open-source operating system, anyone can take the code, make whatever changes they want, and release it as their own custom distribution.

A land of diversity, however, also has its pitfalls. Mandriva Linux seems like the most recent candidate to fall, with the company purportedly going under on January 16th if it doesn’t receive an infusion of funds.

The funds are being blocked by a shareholder dispute, and it will be a sad story for the once-popular Linux distribution.

LinuxBSDos.com: "The security features in Fedora make it one of my favorite Linux distributions. And that is partly why it is in my list of the top 6 KDE distributions of 2011."

Talkin' Cloud: "Red Hat, Canonical (Ubuntu) and SUSE already compete in the Linux market. Now, they'll increasingly compete in the cloud computing world."

LinuxBSDos.com : "Compared to popular Linux distributions, OI is a relatively young distribution, with a very small development community whose members are mostly based in Europe."

LinuxPro: I'm probably going to be answered as though I were a hybrid of Ebenezer Scrooge and Darth Vader, but can we quit with the code names for Linux distributions, already?

People are taking them way too seriously.

LinuxCareer:Every Linux user, after a while, starts creating a toolbox that he/she takes with him/her everywhere.

TechRepublic: "Knoppix was a pioneer in Live CD for Linux, and it still remains one of the most respectable Linux distributions. Of course, Knoppix is not alone."
