Turtle and Python - friends of children

The new Python Turtle from pythonturtle.com is a little tool for learning Python.

"PythonTurtle strives to provide the lowest-threshold way to learn Python. Students command an interactive Python shell (similar to the IDLE development environment) and use Python functions to move a turtle displayed on the screen. An illustrated help screen introduces the student to the basics of Python programming while demonstrating how to move the turtle"

I think is for childen who can control this little turtle. Next image show the IDE and some commands.

BAD or GOOD : Microsoft Patches Linux

Do you see this ? Microsoft Patches Linux; Linus Responds from www.linux-mag.com

First of all this code has not yet been included into the official Linux kernel.

Second of all Microsoft is trying to virtualized Linux.

BAD or GOOD  ?

"Customers have told us that they would like to standardize on one virtualization platform, and the Linux device drivers will help customers who are running Linux to consolidate their Linux and Windows servers on a single virtualization platform." say :Tom Hanrahan, director, Open Source Technology Center

"REDMOND, Wash., July 20, 2009 — Today, in a break from the ordinary, Microsoft released 20,000 lines of device driver code to the Linux community. The code, which includes three Linux device drivers, has been submitted to the Linux kernel community for inclusion in the Linux tree. The drivers will be available to the Linux community and customers alike, and will enhance the performance of the Linux operating system when virtualized on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V or Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V."

Link :www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2009/Jul09/07-20LinuxQA.mspx

The response from the Linux community:

"Normally Microsoft is trying to destroy Linux and free software. "

"So why the patch? Well, it contains three drivers which will enhance the performance of Linux when virtualized as a guest under Microsoft’s virtualization product, Hyper-V."

"This is not an endorsement of the GPL, it was simply a requirement in order to get their code into the kernel."

Link :www.linux-mag.com/cache/7439/1.html

Greg Kroah-Hartman (Kernel developer and Novell employee ), who was instrumental in convincing Microsoft to release the code say on his blog :

Link :www.kroah.com/log/linux/microsoft-linux-hyper-v-drivers.html

On his blog on the end is "Update":

"Update:
Steve gives a little more of the backstory of what caused me to start talking to Microsoft in the first place."

 SO! I THIS GOOD OR BAD ?
