The Mambo CMS has a built-in module for content syndication through RSS, OPML, ATOM, and other feed types. Unfortunately, it is configured to push new content URLs without the search engine-optimized (SEO) modification. So while your content URLs may be fine, anyone who links to your site from your feeds will be using a dynamic, non-SEO link. Here's how to hack the component to make it work properly in Mambo 4.5.4.

Most operating system reviews and developer interviews rely on technical points to explain what the project is about and what benefits users might derive from it. But what of the people responsible for the lion's share of the work in the open source software world? So rarely do we hear about their opinions and perspective on their project of choice. So here's a not-so-technical interview with three of the real people who contribute time and effort to developing the Xandros family of GNU/Linux distributions.

Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 is a decent business desktop operating system as-is. However, it does not appropriately meet the needs of a large portion of business professionals. Additionally, a great many regular consumers have been enchanted by SLED 10's ease of use and high degree of stability, but are disappointed with the home desktop software selection. This guide will show you how to install or upgrade the Java Development Kit, install software from the SUSE Linux 10.1 package repositories, and enable DVD movie playback in SLED 10.

Commercial Java developers have many choices available to them when it comes to the procedures, practices, and tools necessary to build, release, and maintain a program. So far, no single software solution offers everything necessary for total project management, but if you combine some tools, you can hack together an efficient solution. That's the basis for IBM Rational ClearCase, Ant, and CruiseControl, which shows you how to combine high-end commercial IBM development products with free software applications to design the perfect project development infrastructure.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 is finally here, and so begins Novell's effort to get it onto as many business computers as possible. This event also comes shortly after the departure of Jack Messman as CEO, an event which has dramatically changed Novell's business strategy, especially as it relates to its SUSE Linux products. To find out more about SLED, its cousin SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and the company's plans for the future, I got in touch with senior Novell executive John Dragoon. Questions and answers are below.

Neuros Technology released a firmware upgrade on July 11 that further expands the recording capabilities of its MPEG4 Recorder 2 product. Previously, the device could record to formats and resolutions designed for the Neuros 442, Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), and the Apple video iPod. Two previous firmware updates added the ability to record video for PDAs, smart phones, and cell phones. This release adds support for the Motorola Q smart phone.

"Neuros stands for openness and helping consumers to play their content when, where, and how they want to. Our products are highly versatile, allowing people to enjoy video programming across a wide spectrum of different devices," said Neuros CEO Joe Born in a company statement.

Who hasn't had problems with Windows XP? Even people who rarely use it have to deal with its many problems, deficiencies, and quirks. But what happens when your problems go beyond the ordinary, into the realm of system failure? It's Never Done That Before covers the broad space between "it works" and "it doesn't work," giving excellent methods for solving computer problems. However, while generally quite useful, this book suffers slightly from a lack of real-world experience on the part of the author.
