SAN FRANCISCO-A small developer hopes to get managers of Linux servers to break their command line habit. At this week's LinuxWorld show, Tactile Interactive offered a look at the latest beta of Interrogator, its powerful, graphical file manager for Linux and Solaris platforms.
Now in Version 0.8, Interrogator provides navigation around the system as well as various views into files, directories and volumes. Instead of revealing the content in the file through some graphical image or icon, Interrogator icons modify the color, size and outlines of icons and text to attributes such as permissions, date and sizes. Folder icons holding many files will grow bigger than ones with fewer
items inside.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds may be the main mouthpiece for open source, but another open-source evangelist-John "Maddog" Hall-is working hard behind the scenes to spread adoption of Linux.
If you were at this week's LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco, you likely ran across Hall, who is executive director of Linux International-a nonprofit organization that disseminates information about Linux, its applications, and advantages-and author of "Red Hat Linux for Dummies."
Hall sat down with eWEEK's Craig Newell at the Ottawa Linux Symposium in July to talk about where he thinks Linux is headed. Excerpts of that interview appear below.

Editor's Note: On Wednesday, IBM filed a counterclaim against SCO in its ongoing intellectual property battle over Unix/Linux. Here is the text of the letter that IBM sent to its internal sales force on the suit.
IBM LAUNCHES COUNTER CLAIMS AGAINST SCO
Bob Samson
Vice President, Systems Sales
IBM Systems Group
IBM yesterday responded to SCO's amended complaint. We see no merit in their claims and no supporting facts. Significantly, IBM counter sued SCO on a range of issues. Simply put, SCO's scheme is an attempt to profit from its limited rights to a very old UNIX operating system by introducing fear, uncertainty and doubt into the marketplace.

Ignore the rah-rah speeches to the crowds of Linux faithful. Storage Supersite Editor David Morgenstern says that the Linux battleground has moved to small and mid-size businesses, where .Net development is a flashpoint.
SAN FRANCISCO-The floor of a technology trade show is perhaps the worst place in the world for dispassionate evaluation of a market. This was especially true at this year's LinuxWorld as developers (and most users) put aside the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) about the future of the platform engendered by the SCO licensing brouhaha .
Despite the cheerleading from executives, that FUD may ripple for a long while through the small and mid-size business market, giving Microsoft an edge. Linux advocates hope that significant investment in the space may prove an antidote.
