Microsoft/Novell alliance

Microsoft has announced support for SUSE Linux on the desktop and will even help Novell promote it. For more information, read http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9004739&source=NLT_AM&nlid=1

Interesting questions would include what Microsoft has to gain from this, what Novell has to gain from this, and the timing.

Exam Three Assignment

For exam three, you are to create a blog and post five entries in it before the day of the exam. Each of the entries must have a different date (so you cannot create the blog the morning of the exam and get credit for it) and at least two of the entries must contain links to other items.

During class this morning, it was demonstrated how to setup a blog using Google's Blogger site. The sample site set up is http://zzzebizzzz.blogspot.com. You can use Blogger, if you want, or you can use anyother blog hosting site - it is your choice.

One of the questions on the third exam (November 21st) will be for you to fill in the address of your blog. That question will be worth 65 (of the 125 total) points. I will check that address to see that the items are there that need to be there and you will either get the points or you will not (an all or nothing question). If you have any difficulties, or questions, you should let me know between now and November 14th (one week before the exam). This three week time period is more than sufficient for you to complete the assignment and I will offer no assistance on it right before the exam.
