Juniper's Linux IPS Hits 10Gb/sec

| "These boxes run on Linux," Chopra explained. "It goes through the same 
| discipline as JUNOS in terms of engineering and q/processes, so when we talk 
| about a single core release and the rigors of regression testing it follows 
| the same process."

RIAA to help enforcing the GPL

,----[ Quote ]
| Free/Iliad is a French Internet provider with a whooping €1B in revenues. Its 
| founder Xavier Niel boasts  being a very profitable business with all 
| salaries representing only a few percents of Free’s revenues: a performance 
| that might be better explained by the amount of open source  leveraged by 
| their massive infrastructure.    
| 
| [...]
| 
| What's of particular interest here is the way Mr. Niel [Free's founder] 
| argues the GPL is irrelevant to this case. His claims is [sic] roughly this: 
| my 3,000,000 GPLoaded-home routers are part of my network therefore the GPL 
|    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| doesn't apply since I don't distribute any software outside of my network.

Announcing Jupiter Base

,----[ Quote ]
| Today I am really excited to announce one of the most important aspect of 
| Jupiter, Jupiter Base. What is Jupiter Base? It’s the mainline distribution 
| of Linux that we will sync against to use as a platform that we will build 
| the Jupiter Desktop from. In a very real sense, it’s our launch platform for 
| the Jupiter Project.    
|
| [...]
|
| et me be very clear. Jupiter is NOT just another Ubuntu. We are simply 
| leveraging the great work, the large application vendor support for the 
| Ubuntu system, and a familiar solid base system for the end user. Jupiter is 
| going to be its own system with many of our own enhancements built in, it 
| will be a clear trend setter and standout from the rest. Working with the 
| Ubuntu project we will share bug fixes and improvements made to all aspects 
| of the Desktop.
