| proprietary, open source and custom applications, and none of them were

| The move to OpenMFG was significant because it signaled a shift within
| Marena from a dependence on proprietary applications to relative freedom

| We are currently pioneering virtualisation here at bit-tech - we're using
| two quad-core Clovertown CPUs for our gaming server, and we are currently
| experimenting with virtualising copies of Linux, one for each core, to
| run game servers on - effectively making a quad-core CPU capable of
| running four instances of Linux and four different game servers, all
| at near-native speed. That's pretty impressive.
