This issue, regular and new readers alike can read a 10 page guide to developing apps for the iPhone in an open source style. Developing apps for the iPhone is akin to a gold rush right now and there’s big money to be made if a moderately priced app gets downloaded by just a fraction of the iPhone’s current user base. While we can’t promise that the information in our cover feature will make you rich, it does contains everything you need to know to get started creating applications for the iPhone in an open source environment.

If you’re not interested in developing iPhone apps there’s a guide to making Linux 100% secure including securing your system and network and a complete guide to the best working practices. There’s also tutorials on GanttProject, Dstat, Zimbra, Make and DokuWiki.

We’ve also secured an exclusive interview with Klaus Knopper on Knoppix, open source and accessibility.

Find it in all good newsagents or buy online from www.imagineshop.co.uk

      I would like to see a future article on

      1. Linux in smart Appliances, why and who is forging the way…
      2. Linux is running the Internet, how and how does Linux / Unix control the future of network routing, is it open source, should it be?
      3. Security / the most popular hacking methods, how to secure ( you might have this one in current issue )
      4. The licensing on development with Linux and options, a real breakdown by a lawyer with copy write issues included, when you commercialize your work, yes I am not against free software, just like generic drugs AFTER you have received fair compensation for your work, how can we create the new capitalism to encourage the right kind of development for the betterment of all…
      5. Unix / Linux and such flavors … the convergence, what components are common, and what components should be common as we converge to a more standardized Linux future…
      6. Standardizing Linux, how to allow flexibility and innovation, yet allow for a point where something is standardized for all the practical reasons ….
      7. Separating the presentation layer of the OS from the core services, talk about Google OS and Linux future in the cloud computing, and smart appliance future….

      Thank you kindly for reading the suggestions, keep up the good work, long live linux and the general fair compensation development model…

      I’ve been trying to install PCLinuxOS from the coverdisc on issue 80 but am stumped by the request for a login and password. Can’t work out what to enter. What have I missed? It is bound to be somethng simple but it has me totally stumped. Please help. I used PCLinuxOS last year for a while and would like to see how it has changed.

      Try the PCLinuxOS Install guide:

      http://www.pclinuxos.com/wiki/index.php/Installation

      This shows the install from within Windows but is does mention the default password for root is “root”.
