  Given $\Sigma\subset\mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$, any finite collection of
linear forms, some possibly proportional, and any $1\leq a\leq |\Sigma|$, it
has been conjectured that $I_a(\Sigma)$, the ideal generated by all $a$-fold
products of $\Sigma$, has linear graded free resolution. In this article we
show the validity of this conjecture for two cases: the first one is when
$a=d+1$ and $\Sigma$ is dual to the columns of a generating matrix of a linear
code of minimum distance $d$; and the second one is when $k=3$ and $\Sigma$
defines a line arrangement in $\mathbb P^2$ (i.e., there are no proportional
linear forms). For the second case we investigate what are the graded betti
numbers of $I_a(\Sigma)$.
