This Week: Free the Radio, Python Web Frameworks, Blank PCs and How to start in Linux
13 October 2007
Welcome to 'This Week', my occasional series about what I have read recently. You are encouraged to tell me if you have written or read something cool that I should notice. Another person to do just that is Rich McIver:
> Hi Zeth, ><br> We recently published "`Linux for Business: 50 Apps to Get your Office on Open Source`_". I figured I'd bring it to your attention in case you think your readers would find it useful. ><br>Either way, keep up the great blogging!
Reading through the list I was reminded how much great stuff there is available from the Open Source community. Are there any businesses of significant size that do not use at least any free/open-source software somewhere in the organisation? I doubt it. It just shows how far we have come. It won't be long before we will be at the point where no computer user will be without some free software on their PC, even if they do not realise that it is there. We are winning, just very subtly and quietly.

Here is a round up of what I have noticed in the blog world about the command-line recently, if you know anymore good new links then let me know!
cURL tips
cURL is one of my favourite command-line applications. It is similar to wget but with all the features a modern browser would have, e.g. cookies, ssh, etc. You can use it to do anything a browser would do and script routine tasks that you may need to do.
`World O' Matty`_ has many posts of interest to those using the command-line. '`Grabbing a protected webpage`_' was a nicely-written practical example of how to use cURL:
