Top Twenty-Five Open Source Software Apps for Engineers
1 / 0
http://onlineengineeringprograms.org/2011/top-25-open-source...
If you are interested in engineering, you probably know that you often need computer programs to help you accomplish various tasks. These computer programs can be expensive, though, or difficult to customize. With the help of open source software, though, you can usually find lower prices and have access to code that allows you to customize as needed.

As of MySQL Version 3.23.6, you can choose between three basic table formats (ISAM, HEAP and MyISAM. Newer MySQL may support additional table type (InnoDB, or BDB), depending on how you compile it.
When you create a new table, you can tell MySQL which table type it should use for the table.

Browsers Internet for Linux

http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/01/09/browsers-inte...
There are many browsers available for Linux. I did not find a listing which I thought to be complete, especially considering non-Intel platforms. This list tries to accomplish this task. I tried to include all browsers for web pages (i.e. no pure 3D browsers) which are available for Linux. If a browser is missing or the information given is incorrect, I would be very glad if you could give me the information via email at ubuntulandnireblog@gmail.com

Why is proprietary software so bad?
1 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/06/linux-land-why-is-propr...
One of the biggest arguments in the Linux world rages around proprietary software (software restricted by license and/or price). The majority of the Linux users out there are for pure FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software). That is, they only want FLOSS software on their machines. This movement really took off mostly because many of the original Linux and UNIX pioneers were firm FLOSS disciples. However, many users, especially the less philosophical and the more pragmatic, have gotten into the habit of simply wanting what works. Which is the right answer?

Sitback is a backup daemon/utility for small/medium scale systems
1 / 0
http://ubuntulandforever.blogspot.com/2008/05/sitback-is-bac...
Sitback is actual just another tar/gzip interface. It evolved from a bash-script I wrote to handle automated backup's on Linux fileservers.
The script worked ok, but it soon proved difficult and tiresome to make local modifications to the script to handle various problems or differences.

Basic MySQL User Utility Commands

Better yet, as everybody's working on dynamic web pages today, our nice database server is very quick at estabilishing a connection. If you have already tried a CGI script connecting to Oracle, DB2 or some other powerhouse database you know how the connection time can slow down your web site.
As with any modern tool, you can write C programs to get your data from, but it's easier to write a REXX script or a Java applet. It even comes ready with an easy to use web gateway. Add to this wide multi-platform coverage and we have a perfect match to our desires.
