ICFOSS, in partnership with Zyxware Technologies and The Drop Times is organising the Drupal 10 Release Party & Drupal Global Training Day on 17th December 2022 from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm, at ICFOSS, Sports Hub, Karyavattom, Trivandrum.
Free Software
If Zyxware Technologies have to define our philosophy in the shortest possible form, it can be stated as 'committed to Free Software.' In this article, we try to explain what free software is and how our vision is tied to it.
Moodle is a Free and Open-Source Software(FOSS) learning management system written in PHP. We can install Moodle on a standalone platform. Here I would like to explain how to install Moodle in an Ubuntu Server.
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) project has released a new version of the Debian-based privacy oriented distribution. Tails allows the user to direct network traffic through the Tor anonymizing network and provides a number of privacy utilities. The latest release, Tails 2.6, includes such security features as memory address randomization and higher entropy for generating random numbers.
About Tails
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live CD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.

openSUSE Leap is a free and Linux-based operating system for your PC or Laptop or server . You can surf the web, manage your e-mails and photos, do office work, play videos or music and have a lot of fun!Now a new stable release is here, providing the best that free and open source has to offer with our special green touch: stable, innovative and fun. Green light to freedom. This is the first release after the change in the open SUSE development mode, with a much shorter stabilization phase thanks to the extensive testing done in a daily basis in the rolling distribution used now as a base for open SUSE stable releases. The openSUSE project has announced the availability of a new beta snapshot for the project's upcoming openSUSE 42.2 "Leap" release. The new beta provides a preview of the Plasma 5.8 desktop environment along with an update to GTK, bringing the toolkit to version 3.20.9.
About openSUSE
The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, this program provides free, easy access to openSUSE, a complete Linux distribution. The openSUSE project has three main goals: make openSUSE the easiest Linux for anyone to obtain and the most widely used Linux distribution; leverage open source collaboration to make openSUSE the world's most usable Linux distribution and desktop environment for new and experienced Linux users; dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSUSE the platform of choice for Linux developers and software vendors

Debian-update-8.5.0-amd64- 2-DVD pack update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian 8 but only updates some of the packages included.
About Debian
The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 50,000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) - all of it free. It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.
