Linux and Unix are not the same, but would you know how to explain the differences between them?
Unix is a propietary system which can’t be modified, only AT&T, the company that created and owns it can do it. It was developed in the 1970s as an operating system to manage servers and nowadays it is mainly used for that purpose, except MacOS X, a desktop OS. Server operating systems are difficult to install, commands are more important than graphic interface and they are only compatible with specific hardware. AIS, HP-UX or Soralis are some Unix systems examples.
Issue tracking tools are crucial to manage any project workflow. They allow to detect, track and resolve bugs in a collaborative way. In this article we are going to talk about three Open Source tools easy to download and manage:
Redmine. It enables to manage multiple projects and integrates with many version control systems. It not only tracks issues, but also features forums, wikis, time tracking tools, and generates Gantt charts and calendars to track progress. Its configuration is fairly flexible, supports many databases, languages and can be customized. There is an online demo available to test this tool.
Microsoft has announced the availability of FreeBSD in Azure marketplace and official support as a guest on Hyper-V, meaning Microsoft Support will answer any question and will fix any issue reported by customers.
The company explains in the official blog that many virtual appliance verndors base their products on FreeBSD operating system, and that’s why they decided to develop FreeBSD 10.3 as a ready-made VM image to run in Azure, as Hyper-V is the virtualization platform for Azure.
Red Hat announced the availability of new tools for developers: Red Hat Software Collections 2.2 and Red Hat Developer Toolset 4.1.
Red Hat Software Collections 2.2 inludes Open Source web development tools, dynamic languages, and databases. This set of tools aims at bridge developer agility and production stability by helping to accelerate the creation of modern applications that can then be more confidently deployed into production.
