As part of the deal, Microsoft offers support for Novell's Suse Linux, and the two companies are working on making their respective software interoperable.

Technibble have posted about deploying software with Winget. Imagine downloading and installing Firefox, AVG Antivirus, Ad-Aware and Spybot by typing only four commands in DOS. If you know the basics of BAT scripting you can make it so all you have to do is press a button. In this article we’ll show you some ways to use this awesome program to download and install the latest versions of software.

Gateway has revealed an all in one PC similar to the Apple iMac. After months of speculation, Gateway finally unveiled their One "all-in-one" PC. Once out of the box, all that's required to get up and running is a single power cord. We had an opportunity to take a good look at the machine today and relay our thoughts here.

As a followup to the previous Chernobyl news, Mitch01 has sent in a few interesting articles related to it. Firstly, a French company has been contracted to build a steel cover over the failing concrete sarcophagus. Also, here are some pictures from within the zone.

And finally, here is a set of pictures depicting tangled messes of cable. Most network and system administrators like a nice tidy cabled cabinet of servers and network equipment. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way. The following are some of my favorite images of nasty cable messes.
