Jury Chooses 2002 Linux New Media Award Winners
Munich, Germany. November 5, 2002
With its annual Awards, Linux New Media recognizes the products,
projects and companies that have done the most to promote free
software and advance the use of Linux worldwide.
In each of 10 categories, the first, second, and third places were
determined by vote of a 35-person jury. The jury was made up of Linux
professionals including the editorial teams of and regular
contributors to Linux Magazine, Linux-Magazin, LinuxUser, and
Linux-Community.de. Further jury members included VIPs of the Open
Source scene and Linux business such as Kernel Coordinator Alan Cox,
Linux International President Jon "maddog" Hall,
FreeSoftwareFoundation Europe's President Georg Greve, IBM Linux
Evangelist Tom Schwaller, and Kalle Dalheimer, one of the founder of
the KDE Project.
The winners:
The Linux PDA Sharp Zaurus won the Mobile Devices category, while the
Network Hardware award went to the Axiom AX 6113 server. Pioneer's
DVR-104 DVD Writer hit the top spot for General Hardware. Under Linux
Distributions, it is no surprise that Debian won the race - the jury
honored the work of several key developers who have worked so hard on
the free operating system over the past years. The GCC ("GNU Compiler
Collection", renamed from "GNU C Compiler" in 1999) won the award for
the best Development Software. In the Office Packages category, the
Open Office suite prevailed against the other competitors with a
sensational vote of 47.8%.
Mozilla triumphed over the email client Mutt and Konqueror browser to
win under Internet Applications. In the Databases category,
PostgreSQL overtook MySQL for the first time. The special award for
Newcomer of the Year goes to Gentoo Linux, a BSD-style, ports-based
distribution that allows users to build all packages specifically for
a particular machine. In the Linux Companies category, IBM won the
first prize as the company who has done the most to promote Linux
during the past year.
