Presens IT conducts Open Source Survey with Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| The open source model is built on the premise that end users have full access
| to the application source code. Additionally, the open source license model
| ensures that no company can fully own and monopolize the code, which in turn
| reduces vendor lock-in and eliminates the perpetual vendor-license renewals
| associated with proprietary offerings. In the absence of lock-in to a
| proprietary product or vendor, companies like Red Hat and their Advanced
| Business Partners such as Presens Technologies must consistently serve
| customers through extraordinary value, performance, and ease of integration
| and management.

>From "happy hacking" to "screw you" - the story of Meraki
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been following the development of mesh wifi technology for several years
| now. From the moment I first grokked what was going on with it, it struck me
| as a great disruptive technology. One of the most successful early projects,
| and one that I followed with a great deal of interest was MIT's Roofnet
| project - an implementation of commodity hardware and open source software,
| built on Linux, which provides wifi coverage for MIT's campus.

Beef Up Your Wireless Router
,----[ Quote ]
| So what can you do with an embedded Linux device running on limited
| RAM and very small storage? As it turns out, quite a lot actually.
| You can install asterisk, and have your personal, customizable PBX
| (private branch exchange). If you already have a SIP phone or some
| kind of VoIP phone interface (such as the Cisco ATA 186 adapter),
| you can have your very own VoIP system at home, all running out of
| your low power-consumption embedded hardware.
|
| [...]
|
| This is just the beginning of what embedded Linux can do for you.
| To find out more what embedded Linux can do for your enterprise,
| check out Secure Linux Appliances in Your Enterprise. So dig u
| your old wireless router, check it against the hardware compatibility
| list, and see if your router is OpenWRT compatible, and open yourself
| up to a wrt of possibilities!
