10 Reasons to Love Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| This is not a rant about Debian vs. Ubuntu. I used both, loved both, and I'm
| currently using Debian Lenny. It's not about Debian versus any other
| distribution either: in fact, I only tried a few other distros, and most of
| them were Debian-based.

Overview of Proxmox VE
,----[ Quote ]
| Summary
|
| Proxmox is an example of the end product being greater than the sum of parts.
| All the technologies used to build Proxmox are not unique however putting
| them all together and adding a nice interface is. Overall I am very impressed
| with the ease of use and quality of the software. The flexibility that is
| provided by virtualization plus the ease of administration provided by
| Proxmox is a great combination for anybody looking to use virtualization.
|
| Introduction to Proxmox VE
|
| Proxmox VE is virtualization platform based on Debian Etch x86_64. It comes
| as a self contained ISO installer, just pop the CD on supported hardware and
| it installs automatically because of this it will only run of 64bit machines.
| That makes testing out a Proxmox server impossible on older hardware.

| According to this German article, the City of Munich and the German Federal
| Foreign Office have started to collaborate on the implementation of their
| open source and open standards strategies. I would not be surprised if other
| organizations decided to join the "alliance" as well. Anyway, very cool to
| see government organizations collaborate regarding the usage of open source
| and open standards.

Munich Linux scales desktop management
,----[ Quote ]
| The City of Munich has developed impressive systems
| for rolling out and maintaining Linux desktops for
| large numbers of users, according to a British
| developer who had a close-up view of the system.
|
| [...]
|
| "Most of the work has been in configuration and
| systems... rather than custom packages on the clients
| themselves," McIntyre said in a blog post last week.
| "The vast majority of the packages installed come
| straight from the standard Debian archive."
|
| [...]
|
| LiMux developers have automated installation via
| Debian's FAI (fully automatic installation) system,
| according to McIntyre, with configuration information
| stored in LDAP and the database administration
| program GOsa as a front-end. "They've integrated
| these to enable some very clever management features
| so that all aspects of the city-wide system can be
| maintained from one central point," McIntyre said.
